Can we revisit "begging the question" instead?

I cheated and looked it up. :sad3:

E. B. White had some great quotes:

I haven't thought of Strunk and White since high school, which I find depressing. :(

Here's a weird tidbit I found while researching:
Quote
Those who are fans of Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style will be pleased to learn that this classic work has been turned into an operatic song cycle. It received its first performance last month in the reading room of the New York Public Library, the accompaniment performed by the Omit Needless Words Orchestra.
