“...which is against the rules featured in Strunk and Whites ‘Elements of Style’ which was one of my favorite books in college and helped me learn how to write so gooder.”
Couldn’t have made it through many years of college/university without “Elements of Style” on my desk.
I’m glad it helped you avoid run on sentences and write “gooder”.
My college course in Elements of Style was taught by an eclectic, beret wearing black fellow. He was one of the most competent teachers of English composition I have ever had, and he taught one of the most useful courses I ever took.
If I met the man today, I would clap him on the back, shake his hand, and buy him the best dinner I could afford.
