When you buy "The Elements of Style" at the bookstore, you'll
normally find that it's the Strunk & White version. But when
you read "The Elements of Style" on the web, you'll normally
find that it's the original Strunk-- the only edition that's
in the public domain.

E.B. White was a wonderful writer, but it was presumptuous of
him to "and" himself to Strunk, who was already dead at the time.
