I've been writing for a long time. My grandmothers were both English teachers. Sometimes I think I've forgotten more rules than some people ever learn. And still, sometimes, something new makes life interesting.
An issue came up recently, which prompted me to do some research. Lo, I discovered many details of which I was unaware--some of which sent a shiver of pure paranoia down my spine. This is me, people; I can be paranoid about anything up to and including the finer points of grammar. Anyway, I think it's that very paranoia that would have saved me from committing unpardonable error. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. Repeatedly.
In other news: if anyone has recommendations for a good Securities hornbook, please let me know. Or if you have suggestions for current, unresolved, First Amendment issues, I'd love to hear them.
And while you're handing out recommendations, know any good tax accountants?
I knew this year was going to bite us in the rear.
I know a great tax accountant!

Wait, was the grammar the potentially unpardonable error? Because I'm interested in knowing what fine point of grammar you learned.

I'm with McPan on this one.

Not exactly a hornbook, but I used an E&E for Securities Reg that was really helpful. In fact, I keep my copy at work.

"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"HIPPA"
"HIPPA who?"
