lol I forgot you can see who does that. Because I dislike that book, that’s all. I had to read and study the whole book in high school and I really hated the whole experience. Sorry about that, I’ll take it away.

Well, for me it's hard to understand. So we'll have to agree to disagree then.

P.S. Almost all bad reviews on Amazon has not much to do with the content (at least the last time I scrolled to it). I even bought a new edition at local store with better layout than my old edition.

I get it, not everything’s for everyone. I just found the content repetitive and boring. That might also just be a part of my very rigorous homeschool childhood

Well, maybe I enjoyed it because I had to read too many Academic papers poorly written?

Found this thread on Reddit.

Lot of haters of this book. A bit unfair for a book written in in 1918. Lol.

Yeah I thought about that one... but I thought it perhaps a little crass.

Regarding Strunk, I always found it rather amusing that he repeated the dictum (or harangue), "Omit needless words!" Twice. ;)

(Not to mention the seemingly obvious question of just what constitutes "needless." As often happens, writing lessons tend to be somewhat less than useful.)

Looks like we'll just have to agree to disagree then.
