WORD|of the day

As an editor I help people avoid "solecisms" in their writing.


QUOTE|of the day

[It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.]
Oscar Wilde
