It was a venerable text when I started teaching four decades ago. It still serves - as I confess I sometimes do - as combination of authority and historical curiosity. Warriner takes few prisoners, rendering unequivocal rulings on quite a range of fundamental issues. Cheers! | |

| Jan 18, 2017 at 18:27 | comment | added | Rob_Ster | A ferocious adherent of Warriner might insist that a comma separate the two independent clauses of a compound sentence, but it's often omitted when the clauses are brief as these are. | |
