Hey you stay with what works for you,Uncle Ed.I have discovered over the years that no matter how carefully I write a story ,then edit it,run it by another for editing and the like,some reader is going to find a violation of the
rules of English Grammar.Just as there is no such thing as the perfect crime,I suppose there is possibly,no such thing as a perfectly written story.

I well recall the reader,a resident of Hong Kong ,that e-mailed me about a "torn infinitive" in one of my stories.To add insult to injury,this same student of English as possibly a third language,advised me he did not like all the Noun "madifiers" in the story.
