Composition Definitions The result is what we see around us: senior corporate managers who make decisions affecting millions of people on the basis of short-term balance sheets, artists ignorant of history, historians ignorant of science, scientists unable to distinguish between the arts and the humanities. Michael Holzman What really could Vitanza mean when he writes that the university is not a safe place for students to learn to write? Victor J. Vitanza Christine Farris 'We' have yet to write 'writing'! 'We' may never write 'writing,' but 'we' must start letting writing write. Such a writing cannot, should not, take place, and will not, unless under the most radical, still unthinkable, conditions . . . take place . . . in the university (or the schools). It is simply not safe for students to write 'in' or 'at' the university. Any university. What is taught at the university is not-writing. Victor J. Vitanza Certainly the humanist cult of self-expression that dominated turn-of-the-century composition pedagogy, with its insistence on the personal essay, can be called an art of display with some justice.

General Resources: Alt.usage.english newsgroup Keith Ivey's English Usage Page Mark Israel's FAQ for alt.usage.english World Wide Words American Heritage King's English , and other indispensable public-domain works. Worth a bookmark. Grammar Resources on the Web EnglishForums.com Discussion groups on English grammar, usage, and style. Rhetoric: The Rhetoric Server (Berkeley) Chiasmus.com Sylva Rhetoricae: The Forest of Rhetoric (Gideon Burton, Brigham Young) A superb guide to classical rhetoric, with definitions of many rhetorical terms. Style Guides (more or less comprehensive): Strunk, The Elements of Style (1918 edition) (Bartleby) H. W. Fowler, The King's English (Bartleby) Guardian Style Guide A thorough guide to the house style of The Guardian . American users should note that it's a British publication; all users should note that it settles their own house style, and doesn't pretend to rule on the language as a whole.
