![]() ![]() Strunk and White: 50 Years of Stupid Grammar ( ) I want answers, but it seems there are none. I guess it's really more down to style than grammar itself. I also heard from another professor, an article actually, that "Strunk and White" is a load of bullshit. He also argued that grammar is kind of "non-existent." You can google that and you'll find many people saying the same. and told me that meaning wise, "I am doing homework" vs "I doing homework," there is no difference whatsoever. His only argument was that it was a present participle, and as all participles are, it continues in the present -_. He told me that it was perfectly clear to say that, even though no one says it in actual speech. He argued that because "doing" is a continuous action, it does not require a state before it (to be). Just some guy who told me something over chat on grammar. ![]()
