    The Elements of Style is taken for granted as a literary work of art. Yes, it is praised in the writing community as the most accurate and convenient English grammar reference, but consider for a moment how an application of clarity such as this could be applied to every avenue of life. Every conflict, confused moment, miscommunication, lapse in judgment or any muddy unclear experience can be resolved with the expansion of the foundation that William Strunk Jr. & E.B. White have outlined in this tome. If you've never read it or even if you read it this morning, take a moment to wipe your mind of boundaries, pick up this book, and allow honest clarity to enrich your perspective.
