Fifty Years of Stupid Grammar Advice (2009)
- greenyoda 11y agoI don't think that the advice in the posting guidelines to omit numbers from the titles of articles with enumerated lists applies here. In this case, omitting the "50" from the title significantly detracts from its meaning - that The Elements of Style is now 50 years old.
- dang 11y agoWe put it back as "fifty". Btw here's a thread from when the article came out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1002723 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1002723. I found it by clicking 'past' to go to an HN search on the title and then modifying the search to "stupid grammar advice". Still easier, I think, than searching from scratch.
