“The Elements of Style does not deserve the enormous esteem in which it is held by American college graduates. Its advice ranges from limp platitudes to inconsistent nonsense. Its enormous influence has not improved American students' grasp of English grammar; it has significantly degraded it.”
Geoffrey Pullum
“No program can say what another will do.
Now, I won’t just assert that, I’ll prove it to you.
I will prove that although you might work till you drop,
You cannot tell if computation will stop.”
Geoffrey K. Pullum
