PS: Did anyone notice the quotation mark error in Dr. Hailey's post?

---begin quoted---
Within the day I had a response: "It seems to me, David, that you
use "grammar" here in a way that could be construed as
interchangeable with "style," and I'm not sure that blurring that
distinction is altogether helpful. I'm inclined to think of grammar
as more normative, and style as more preference."
---end quoted---

Nested quotation marks. Naughty!

I'm trying to let these hot coals cool down, I swear! But the pickins',
they're so ripe!

Sincerely,
Madelyn Boudreaux
