Richard, and anyone else who thinks that these issues cannot be (have
not been) resolved,
I respectfully submit that you might benefit from reading Strunk and
White, The Elements of Style.
It is far more consise than I am, can be read from cover to cover in
less than a day, and is one of the best resources for resolving those
bizarre and ubiquitous problems that plague speakers of English, native
and foreign alike.
