Next, I became a fan of the precise language of William F. Buckley on TV. Finally, I became a writer, and The Elements of Style became my guide. Yes, I notice errors all the time, but I strive to restrain myself from pointing them out. Sometimes I lose control. |

I totally understand. I spent most of my career preparing and reviewing engineering and other technical documents. (Plus, I'm just generally anal-retentive by nature. ) I often suppress urges to join the Grammar Police. And sometimes I don't.

I have the best breech of authority golf story. When Tip O'Neill was Speaker of the House, he and his wife were on a boondoggle to Africa. She fell ill and they airlifted them to Wiesbaden, Germany. Tip decided to play a round of golf at Rheinblick, the military course in town. They threw everyone off the course, cancelled all tee times, and he played eighteen alone...with the exception of a huge cadre of security people. To put a cherry on top, they took a brand new set of Wilson Staffs that a customer had ordered and put them in the rental program for Tip to use.
