Grea, wrI,er. Not Correct wrIter..

Great Writers Not Correct writers.
There Is not a single great author In
our literature IN whose works uumer-
Gus errors have not been pointed out
or thought to be pointed out. They are
charged with violating rules involving
the purity II not the permanence OF the
language. A somewhat depressing In
ference follows from the situation thus
revealed. The ability TO write English
correctly does not belong 10 the great
masters of our speech. IL is limited to
the obscure men who have devoted
themselves TO the task OF showing how
far these Wanted writer's have fallen
short Of the ideas OF linguistic propri-
ETY. entertained by their unrecogniIed
betters. As a result OF these critical
crusades there is no escape from the
dismal conclusion that the correct use
OF the language Is not to be found In
the authors whom every one reads
with pleasure. but Is an accomplish.

whom nobody can succeed in reading
