"Young writers often suppose that style is a garnish for the meat of prose, a sauce by which a dull dish is made palatable. Style has no such separate entity; it is nondetachable, unfilterable. The beginner should approach style warily, realizing that it is himself he is approaching, no other; and he should begin by turning resolutely away from all devices that are popularly believed to indicate style--all mannerisms, tricks, adornments. The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity, orderliness, sincerity." --Strunk and White, "The Elements of Style" ''And thus an American textbook, typical required reading for 10th-grade English students, unknowingly extols some virtues of WabiSabi'' --scummings ---- ''Somewhat related:'' ;: ''Designing pages in HTML is like having sex in a bathtub.'' ;: ''If you don't know anything about sex, it won't do you any good to know a lot about bathtubs.'' ;: -- [mailto:vagabond@mcgurkus.circus.com], in [news:comp.infosystems.www.providers] ---- ''"Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system."'' ;: __Bruce Lee__ ;: [mailto:dm360@hotmail.com] ---- PhpWikiDocumentation
