Gentlemen,

While I personnally agree with Strunk and White's wee book in all things, I was clued into this change by a coworker whose expertise in such matters is pretty close to complete.

I continue to follow the old rules (and have had editors change them on my grant proposals in the past), but not everyone does. The Economist magazine, for instance, has taken to the new rule.

As for the web reference, point taken. It could have been better.

v/r
