Perhaps someone can explain to me why the head of Random
House Trade Publishing editorial once told me to avoid the
third edition of _Fowler's Modern English Usage_ and stick
to "the excellent second edition"? And why he thought the
Chicago Manual 14th was less than stellar?
Not enough thistles on my bottom,
Eric
