WildWork, heres one for ya. If you dont already have it, grab this book. "On Writing Well" -by William Zinsser. Itll give you alot of goodies on usage, dos and donts, etc. I have a great gig with a trade mag, I do a column, its whatever I want it to be, and they give me full latitude. For the most part the readers know who I am, so I can write it as I say it, without following too many rules. Ok, I DO have to punctuate, but this is just a forum, so I "stylize"! Check out the book, though, youll love it if you really wanna learn to articulate in print. Anyone can talk, but to write you must learn to hold a persons interest and attention and...hey, WildWork, you still here???
