This blog is dedicated to Irl Flanagan, who was my friend and grammar mentor. Over the last 20 or so years, he spent countless hours editing my manuscripts and teaching me the intricacies of sentence structure and the true meaning and the proper usage of words. 

Irl passed 4 months before his 100th birthday. He held my writing to a high standard, and I honor him by doing the same.
