- rspeer 9y agoHowever, remember not to take a 99-year-old book literally as a style guide. Strunk & White contains some timeless advice. Most (but not all) of the habits it identifies as bad writing are still considered bad. But for positive examples of how to write well, you can't follow the example of a book from 1918. Its language is inherently dated and it predates linguistics as a science. You need a newer style guide.
