The golden rule for good writing is not
a rule of grammar. It is true that there are rules of grammar, as in music there
are rules of harmony, and that they are important, but one can no more write
good English merely by keeping these rules than one can compose good music. The
golden rule for good writing concerns not merely the arrangement of words but
