RE: comma question

[Alan Bucher <bucherino -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Depends. If you still consider it to be the classic definitive
reference, then yes. In a situation in which there are
conflicting opinions, why not use what has been considered the
standard by most? It's not like it advocates using "thy" or
"thou". And if you agree with the other 17 rules it offers, why
toss out the whole reference because there's one with which you
don't?

Gray's Anatomy was also published in 1918. And another book
called The Bible was written sometime before that. But both are
still used as standard references today, eh?
