Wow, would Strunk & White teach me how to write like a pedantic jerk too? Lets think what literature/creative writing would be like if all authors followed The Elements of Style as closely as you do. Ulysses: Leopold Bloom goes to a funeral and then goes home to piss on his shrubbery. Moby-Dick: Ahab seeks revenge against a white whale and is rather unsuccessful. Lolita: A guy named Humbert Humbert really likes having sex with little girls.
Man, my versions are better because they are more concise; who needs adjectives? I wish all those authors were still alive so I could correct their bloated prose.
Are there any similarities between the two? Are there similar defects? Would a product of inter-species breeding be retarded or something similar? I wouldnt think so because inbreeding defects are related to a decreased gene pool. But, just wondering.

In-breeding/inter-species breeding,
