Marcy,
Are those the only "rules" that the WPA list could come up
with?

My favourite is the rule that students frequently insist they have
learned from handbooks; to wit, that the word "however" is
always preceded by a semi-colon and followed by a comma.  This "rule"
always provokes lively discussion; they are rarely convinced.  At
least; however, I try!!

Cheers,
Susan
