Correct Grammar: Back in Style?
"Clauses and Commas Make a Comeback: SAT Helps Return Grammar to Class"
Yesterday's Washington Post (http://tinyurl.com/y62s8j) carried an article about grammar coming back into style. The teacher profiled isn't unique (and thank goodness for that – perhaps a new trend is starting!); and the article itself is full of generalizations and oversimplifications; but it's a trend worth noting and applauding. Anything emphasizing the value of learning correct grammar, usage, and so on can only be... beyond the elements of style!
