West Virginia Overview
West Virginia, a state of the United States of Central Appalachia; 62,761 km2, 1.86 million residents (2011), of which 94% are white. Capital: Charleston. Enlisted in the Union in 1863 as the 35th State. Nickname: The Mountain State. Check searchforpublicschools for public primary and high schools in West Virginia.
West Virginia consists of a wooded, rocky and in many places heavily hilly terrain, which, since the area from the 1700s. colonized by British immigrants in particular, has limited communication and farming opportunities. Up to approx. In 1950, the economy and employment were mostly based on rich coal deposits, but since then coal mining has lost importance as mine closures, new mining methods (including strip mining) and stricter environmental requirements. The decline has also affected a number of follow-on industries (chemical industry, steel industry) and resulted in periodically high unemployment and emigration. West Virginia is one of the nation's most economically backward states around 2000, with a large and poor rural population and a few urban populations that, apart from Charleston and the university town of Morgantown, are concentrated along the border of Ohio to the west (Huntington, Parkersburg, Wheeling, Weirton).
In relation to coal mining, neither forestry nor the other mining activities (oil, natural gas, limestone) are of greater importance. The same applies to agriculture (most livestock farming), including. grazing fields only cover approx. 1/10 of the area. In contrast, increased interest in skiing, rafting, rock climbing and similar activities has led to significant growth in tourism, which is now one of the largest sources of income, especially in the scenic and up to 1500 m high Allegheny mountains to the east. There are also a number of health resorts and partially isolated urban communities, where, as in Lewisburg and Elkins, they cherish popular traditions in, among other things. bluegrass – music and quilting.
The biggest addition, however, is the federal government's former Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal (now Harpers Ferry National Historic Park), which was conquered in 1859 by abolitionist John Brown in protest of slavery. The episode was one of many that led to the American Civil War and thus to the separation of West Virginia from native Virginia. The new state became a reality when the present Virginia in 1861 chose to leave the union and join the South States.

I'm now working on my final year project. We were allowed to create our own brief. I wanted to work on a project that would be very Web 2.0, and would allow me use a whole bunch of new interaction design methodology. I decided to pick the 60+ crowd to design a product to encourage social interaction. I think this project is going to be really challenging and I can't wait.

"Terms of Engagement" is a monthly essay-column about relationships between performance art(ists) and language(s).
This is the first installment of a three-part discussion of terms of engagement like "quality" surrounding and embedded in conceptions of "the artworld" and "mainstream culture." What I want to get at is complicated conceptually and diffractively located so it's going to take me a while to pursue several different pathways of inquiry, burrowing back and forth between concrete instances and conceptualizations. Hopefully, examples of performance art works and practices clarify the discussion. As always, responses, corrections, questions are welcome and encouraged, email esthermneff@gmail.com.

Not everyone will be a professional artist. Not everyone will get the grant, have their work exhibited, be invited to guest lecture at a university, go on residencies, be seen, make money, sell, become known, come to operate from some medial position of influence and power.
Each time a grant panel convenes, a curator goes through her files, each time a selection committee gets together (usually the group of artists who received the opportunity last year), individuals are deciding and debating how and if particular humans and their artistic practices are "of quality." Individuals are debating whether or not the artist and their work fit into operative definitions of quality—does this work qualify as art and within contexts present and pertinent to art-worldings hereby performed? Does this person qualify for this program's definition of the types of people fit for the program?
Naturally, one might wonder in each and every case (both from behind the table and when approaching it, proposal in hand), of quality how? deemed of quality by whom and as qualified by what?
In general, to qualify is to be formally appropriate , to fit and embody the form desired and/or demanded by, of use to, a qualification schema.
We can think of qualification schemas as similar to moral heuristics, or any other arrangement of beliefs, knowledges, meaningfulness and values from which a structure, pattern, or set of rules and norms for believing, knowing, meaning, and valuing may emerge and/or become visible. Schematics are presumably emergent from and used by one or more (even many many) persons.
For artists practicing a non-discipline like "performance art," which resists definition as anything but (p)articulations, which has long been see as obscene, absurd/insane (see the popular use of "performance art" as a pejorative ) and accused of contributing—in form or lack of formality—to the "deskilling" of art at the very least, ideas about quality and qualification may seem beside the point. Performance art makers and organizers often try to avoid making quality judgments in general, recognizing that general, self-supposing qualification schemas for "high art" are dominantly driven by capitalism, white supremacy, colonial imperialism, Western/Judeo-Christian xenophobia, and misogyny, thereby maintaining oppressive orders of authorization, aesthetic evaluation, legitimacy, and quality solely in terms of free market demand and on the very terms of (anti)enculturation that performance artists so often transgress and work to (conceptually and practically) dismantle and/or bypass.
When we do begin to investigate schemas for "qualification" and "quality" as terms of engagement, we may find that schematics emerge in many different sizes, shapes, and forms. Processes performing qualification are not solely the invention of colonial and imperialist/supremacist business-makers, processes may also be as small and sensual as matters of tasting with the tongue and finding the fruit viable or rotten. Because of the breadth and scope of conceptions and acts involving "quality" in realizations embodied across somatic and political spheres, it only strengthens dominant default schemas to reject the concept entirely.
There are qualification schemas which formally acknowledge their own particularity and subjectivity, and there are qualification schemas which propose themselves as objective and right(eous). Institutional and politically-scaled qualification schemas tend to suppose themselves the latter, while human and relational-scaled qualification schemes tend to see themselves as the former.
While the largest-sized qualification schemas are—in form and scale—structurally entangled with inherently oppressive values, beliefs, and logics for judgment and must be dismantled and resisted, smaller scale qualification schemas may have a hand in these very dismantling processes; some (perhaps smaller-scale, personified, and particular) qualification schematizing is necessary to methodology, artistic envisioning, self-recognition, to conative/biocultural processes and also to many discussions of how and if certain forms, methods, and ways of seeing qualify forms for activation, i.e. provide connective tissue between values/ethics/beliefs/voices and actions.
What happens when someone or a group of persons "outside the mainstream" fits their practices to "their own" schemas for quality? What are some consequences and affects of intentionally constructing (performing-as-art) qualification schemas which may be temporary, particular, relational, and ethically correlated with specific forms of art and cultural praxis, perhaps even with some values other than those enforced by economically and politically totalitarian conceptions of quality?
Here, the author of this text is speculatively performing a writing-out of example "qualification schemas," in order to test what it might be like for a performance artist to intentionally construct a qualification schema. I am trying this because it often seems like qualification schemas are inevitable (e.g. human beings always have tastes, beliefs, appearances, and preferences) and thus it may be more ethical to acknowledge and intentionally deal with emergent qualities of qualification rather than pretending that any (dominant or original) schemas are "natural" and/or objectively "of quality" to anything other than themselves.
Ursula Johnson, Jennifer Kriesberg, and Laura Ortman are standing in a semi-circle at the window overlooking Tenth Avenue and 17th Street on the High Line in Lenapehoking (lands inhabited by the Native American Lenape, now New York City, among other places). The three are performing as part of Johnson's ongoing project, "Ke'tapekiaq Ma'qimikew: The Land Sings." Johnson is inspired by and uses Indigenous song lines—singing the land—as a navigational and relational practice . Drums, violin, and vocals are mapping, marking landscape and instance of biotic presence, configuring and interpreting pathway, intra-acting in/across timespace with bio-cultural human processes.
The sounds made by the three performers trace and comingle with each other and with the moving cars, the cold, sharp wind, the voices of tourists speaking many different languages, the skyline of the city, carrying up and down the spines of both humans and the High Line. The performance is qualifying line-likenesses, pathways, and co-natures into presence, fitting these to forms of attention and being-here, including those forms of attention involving Instagram, for example.
What is qualified by and for this performance might be described as the history and context of the High Line, both as part of public rails-to-trails projects across the USA attempting to re-expose humans living in urban environments to "nature," and as part of the ongoing erasure and displacement of Indigenous and Native/nativised peoples in the name of colonial and capitalist "development." These contextual elements are qualified via narratives about the value of Indigenous voices and the agency of living land-embodiment, which emerge as schemas for (de)qualification from/of positive and negative durational performativities and enculturations.
Many theories of art (from all over the world) define "quality in art" as a plasticity between forms and contents, concepts and actions. By describing giving-and-receiving creativities which both conjoin (establish union) and proliferate and multiply creation/matter(s), artistic acts (especially performances) can directly qualify realities for appearance and recognition. When give-and-receive action (plastic formation) is performed as qualification, the artistic activity is per-formed between the agents present (including "nonhuman" entities), matters of concept and/or materials (such as musical instruments and the form of song line), and narrative (given from "within" culturally-located persons, and as interpreted/received "by" culturally-located persons), becoming "of quality" within/as its own forms.
In brief, this definition of "qualification" describes processes of making material what is (already) present in a way that such matter(s) come to (in)form as material mean(ingfulness)s.

In a recent performance at ISSUE project room , as she speaks, dances, moves in very-close-to-far-away spatial relationships with the audience, Keijaun Thomas is also rubbing a viscous, sticky substance, possibly molasses, on her body. Near the end of the performance, she pours red glitter from a sandbox bucket and pops red balloons-full of glitter down over herself.
Thomas articulates her perspectives and sensibilities through a pre-recorded soundtrack which describes and inscribes the artist's cultural, political, and experiential location (this sounds dry, it's hard to communicate the "wet" affects of her voice and the poetics of the text). The soundtrack tells us (the audience) who and how the artist is, what her qualities are and, to a certain extent, communicates how qualities of her personhood can be understood/felt by listeners/witnesses. Thomas' live acts of speaking with and around the playing track (also her voice and her own sonic material/songs) are qualifying the living person to her own narratives about and aesthetic representations of herself.
Thomas' use of "substances" however, often difficult-to-control sticky, powdery substances like Elmer's Glue, soda crackers, or glitter, bring up a slippery facet of "qualities," e.g. adjective qualities like "sweet," or "black" or "punk." Many adjectives describing qualities of materials and persons come with judgments (like "beautiful" is usually "good") but adjectives describing the qualities of substances are less clear: "powdery" and "sticky" for example are "just" descriptions, they are what they are, open to an in-context, situated, personalized evaluation and materialization.

Adriana Disman * http://cargocollective.com/adrianadisman* is concerned about a brick wall, needing one for an iteration of her performance Swallow in Tulsa, Oklahoma . A sign is taped to an area of wall on the outside of the Living Arts Tulsa building but when Disman is ready to perform that evening, as she rolls up the loading dock gate to let the audience out to witness her performance, someone is parked right in front of the chosen area of wall.
Disman often performs acts that initially seem subtle from the outside—from the perspective of witnesses—but deeply effect/affect her own body. For example, filling her belly with water, holding a bar of soap in her mouth, making small cuts that delicately trickle blood. These acts increase in resonance in relationship with viewers' capacity for empathy and proprioception. In witnessing these acts, I often think about "qualia," the word for absolutely singular, subjective, internal sensation that can never be absolutely known to another person. Attempts to materialize these singularities of perception, concept, and affect assign quality to differences of sight and meaning rather than to unifications or homogenizations. Fitting to form is not of quality, while not fitting to forms of quality becomes qualifiable.
Disman tells the assembled audience—as we stand on the loading dock and around the offending car in the parking lot—that she had planned to do a durational action of shaking her head "no" with the tip of her nose grating (eventually scraped to blood) on the brick wall. Now, however, she asks us each to try it, to line up along the building and put our hands on the brick (still warm from the sun even though it is night now) and to gently touch our noses to the wall. Disman invites us to perform our own "no," to experience the gesture and the affects it may bring into presence.
Adriana Disman, "Swallow." Posted on Vimeo.
Perhaps it's possible to schematize qualia by holding them loosely together via activity/activation, instead of schematizing qualities in ways that hierarchize, sort, evaluate, and order qualities. While qualification schemas propose unified ways of fitting forms of perception and sensation to form, qualia-fication schemas propose singularities and (p)articularities as valuable elements of individual and social becoming.
Jenny Rollingstone, "Untitled," Panoply Performance Laboratory, 2016.
Why do we feel we need "the big other" (e.g. "the artworld" or "the mainstream") to tell us if and how we qualify and/or are fit to large-scale and coercive schemas for our usefulness and fitness, when performance work itself so directly deals with and presents alternatives?
Part Two will address "art-worlding" from this position, asking what else performances of art-worlding (structurally, organizationally, culturally) can "do," (if anything) in fitness to and of use to singular, alterior (per)form(ativities)s such as those described here, not vice versa.
 In business, the word "quality" means "fitness for use," see http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/fitness-for-use.htmla, an etymological search gives us an even more open definition: Middle English (in the senses 'character, disposition' and 'particular property or feature'): from Old French qualite, from Latin qualitas (translating Greek poiotēs ), from qualis 'of what kind, of such a kind" and the (really very bad and skewed) Google dictionary tells us that quality first means "the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something." Here, I'm playing at philosophy, wherein the word "quality" means "fitness to form," recognizing that any "standard" for excellence or definition of use-value involves (ideo)logical form(ation); use and excellence are both formative schemas for qualification, for which materials, services, objects, and so on are then judged fit (or not).

 a "performative" or "illocutionary" speech act is defined by its consequential self-validation or self-declaration. According to John Searle, responding to Peirce's original description, "the successful performance of the speech act is sufficient to bring about the fit between words and world, to make the propositional content true."

Other drinks called "wine", such as barley wine and rice wine (e.g. sake), are made from starch-based materials and resemble beer more than traditional wine, while ginger wine is fortified with brandy. In these latter cases, the term "wine" refers to the similarity in alcohol content rather than to the production process.[67] The commercial use of the English word "wine" (and its equivalent in other languages) is protected by law in many jurisdictions.[68]
Wine tasting is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine. Wines contain many chemical compounds similar or identical to those in fruits, vegetables, and spices. The sweetness of wine is determined by the amount of residual sugar in the wine after fermentation, relative to the acidity present in the wine. Dry wine, for example, has only a small amount of residual sugar. Some wine labels suggest opening the bottle and letting the wine "breathe" for a couple of hours before serving, while others recommend drinking it immediately. Decanting (the act of pouring a wine into a special container just for breathing) is a controversial subject among wine enthusiasts. In addition to aeration, decanting with a filter allows the removal of bitter sediments that may have formed in the wine. Sediment is more common in older bottles, but aeration may benefit younger wines.[89]
The earliest evidence of a grape-based fermented drink was found in China (c. 7000 BC),[9][10][11] and the earliest evidence of wine in Georgia from 6000 BC,[22][23][24] Iran from 5000 BC,[6] and Sicily from 4000 BC.[8] The earliest evidence of a wine production facility is the Areni-1 winery in Armenia and is at least 6100 years old.[25][12][13][26]
Baking, grilling or broiling food, especially starchy foods, until a toasted crust is formed generates significant concentrations of acrylamide, a known carcinogen from animal studies; its potential to cause cancer in humans at normal exposures is uncertain.[37] Public health authorities recommend reducing the risk by avoiding overly browning starchy foods or meats when frying, baking, toasting or roasting them.[37]
Research has shown that grilling, barbecuing and smoking meat and fish increases levels of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). In Europe, grilled meat and smoked fish generally only contribute a small proportion of dietary PAH intake since they are a minor component of diet – most intake comes from cereals, oils and fats.[36] However, in the US, grilled/barbecued meat is the second highest contributor of the mean daily intake of a known PAH carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene at 21% after 'bread, cereal and grain' at 29%.[36]
Food safety depends on the safe preparation, handling, and storage of food. Food spoilage bacteria proliferate in the "Danger zone" temperature range from 40 to 140 °F (4 to 60 °C), food therefore should not be stored in this temperature range. Washing of hands and surfaces, especially when handling different meats, and keeping raw food separate from cooked food to avoid cross-contamination[22], are good practices in food preparation.[23] Foods prepared on plastic cutting boards may be less likely to harbor bacteria than wooden ones.[24][25] Washing and disinfecting cutting boards, especially after use with raw meat, poultry, or seafood, reduces the risk of contamination.[25]

Medical foods are foods that are specially formulated and intended for the dietary management of a disease that has distinctive nutritional needs that cannot be met by normal diet alone. In the United States they were defined in the Food and Drug Administration's 1988 Orphan Drug Act Amendments[35] and are subject to the general food and safety labeling requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. In Europe the European Food Safety Authority established definitions for "foods for special medical purposes" (FSMPs) in 2015.[36]
Literary references to wine are abundant in Homer (8th century BC, but possibly relating earlier compositions), Alkman (7th century BC), and others. In ancient Egypt, six of 36 wine amphoras were found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun bearing the name "Kha'y", a royal chief vintner. Five of these amphoras were designated as originating from the king's personal estate, with the sixth from the estate of the royal house of Aten.[33] Traces of wine have also been found in central Asian Xinjiang in modern-day China, dating from the second and first millennia BC.[34]
The preparation of animal-based food usually involves slaughter, evisceration, hanging, portioning, and rendering. In developed countries, this is usually done outside the home in slaughterhouses, which are used to process animals en masse for meat production. Many countries regulate their slaughterhouses by law. For example, the United States has established the Humane Slaughter Act of 1958, which requires that an animal be stunned before killing. This act, like those in many countries, exempts slaughter in accordance to religious law, such as kosher, shechita, and dhabīḥah halal. Strict interpretations of kashrut require the animal to be fully aware when its carotid artery is cut.[84]
"Seasonal" here refers to the times of year when the harvest or the flavour of a given type food is at its peak. This is usually the time when the item is harvested, with some exceptions; an example being sweet potatoes which are best eaten quite a while after harvest. It also appeals to people who prefer a low carbon diet that reduces the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food consumption (Food miles).

^ "Pesticides in Organic Farming". University of California, Berkeley. Retrieved 2014-06-17. Organic foods are not necessarily pesticide-free. Organic foods are produced using only certain pesticides with specific ingredients. Organic pesticides tend to have substances like soaps, lime sulfur and hydrogen peroxide as ingredients. Not all natural substances are allowed in organic agriculture; some chemicals like arsenic, strychnine, and tobacco dust (nicotine sulfate) are prohibited.
Wine is usually made from one or more varieties of the European species Vitis vinifera, such as Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gamay and Merlot. When one of these varieties is used as the predominant grape (usually defined by law as minimums of 75% to 85%), the result is a "varietal" as opposed to a "blended" wine. Blended wines are not necessarily inferior to varietal wines, rather they are a different style of wine-making.[70]
Although red wine contains the chemical resveratrol and there is tentative evidence it may improve heart health, the evidence is unclear for those at high risk as of 2013.[131] Grape skins naturally produce resveratrol in response to fungal infection, including exposure to yeast during fermentation. White wine generally contains lower levels of the chemical as it has minimal contact with grape skins during this process.[132]
In popular culture, the mass production of food, specifically meats such as chicken and beef, has come under fire from various documentaries, most recently Food, Inc, documenting the mass slaughter and poor treatment of animals, often for easier revenues from large corporations. Along with a current trend towards environmentalism, people in Western culture have had an increasing trend towards the use of herbal supplements, foods for a specific group of people (such as dieters, women, or athletes), functional foods (fortified foods, such as omega-3 eggs), and a more ethnically diverse diet.[69]
Cooking meals for two doesn't mean you have to stick with leftovers (or meat-based dishes). These easy vegetarian meals — ranging from better-than-takeout Pepper-Only Pizza to Spanish Omelets — will keep you and your partner satisfied. Whether you're gearing up for an impressive at-home date night, or just want to avoid grabbing fast food, these plant-based meals for two are equally healthy and delicious.
Certain exceptions to the ban on alcohol apply. Alcohol derived from a source other than the grape (or its byproducts) and the date[115] is allowed in "very small quantities" (loosely defined as a quantity that does not cause intoxication) under the Sunni Hanafi madhab, for specific purposes (such as medicines), where the goal is not intoxication. However, modern Hanafi scholars regard alcohol consumption as totally forbidden.[116]
Peasant foods have been described as being the diet of peasants, that is, tenant or poorer farmers and their farm workers,[53] and by extension, of other cash-poor people. They may use ingredients, such as offal and less-tender cuts of meat, which are not as marketable as a cash crop. Characteristic recipes often consist of hearty one-dish meals, in which chunks of meat and various vegetables are eaten in a savory broth, with bread or other staple food. Sausages are also amenable to varied readily available ingredients, and they themselves tend to contain offal and grains.
In recent years, space food has been used by various nations engaging on space programs as a way to share and show off their cultural identity and facilitate intercultural communication. Although astronauts consume a wide variety of foods and beverages in space, the initial idea from The Man in Space Committee of the Space Science Board in 1963 was to supply astronauts with a formula diet that would supply all the needed vitamins and nutrients.[58]
Rising food prices in those years have been linked with social unrest around the world, including rioting in Bangladesh and Mexico,[122] and the Arab Spring.[123] Food prices worldwide increased in 2008.[124][125] One cause of rising food prices is wealthier Asian consumers are westernizing their diets, and farmers and nations of the third world are struggling to keep up the pace. The past five years have seen rapid growth in the contribution of Asian nations to the global fluid and powdered milk manufacturing industry, which in 2008 accounted for more than 30% of production, while China alone accounts for more than 10% of both production and consumption in the global fruit and vegetable processing and preserving industry.[126]
The application of scientific knowledge to cooking and gastronomy has become known as molecular gastronomy. This is a subdiscipline of food science. Important contributions have been made by scientists, chefs and authors such as Herve This (chemist), Nicholas Kurti (physicist), Peter Barham (physicist), Harold McGee (author), Shirley Corriher (biochemist, author), Heston Blumenthal (chef), Ferran Adria (chef), Robert Wolke (chemist, author) and Pierre Gagnaire (chef).[44]
Natural foods and "all natural foods" are widely used terms in food labeling and marketing with a variety of definitions, most of which are vague. The term is often assumed to imply foods that are not processed and whose ingredients are all natural products (in the chemist's sense of that term), thus conveying an appeal to nature. But the lack of standards in most jurisdictions means that the term assures nothing. In some countries, the term "natural" is defined and enforced. In others, such as the United States, it is not enforced.

Hyundai Finance to make 'major investments' in China as the country gears up for the world's largest auto-manufacturing expo
Kia Finance will make "major investments" in China in the next few months, said the automaker on Monday, as the world heads to the world-leading auto-industry expo to compete for global marketshare.
Kia will be among the biggest players at the event, the first-ever to feature a production-based assembly line, with the company planning to build an assembly line in Shenzhen to assemble the next-generation Juke, which is expected to begin production in early 2018.
"Our plans to create a manufacturing capacity for our brand will help us to accelerate our plans to build a new line-up of models that are fully designed and manufactured in China," said the Hyundai finance chief, who did not give a date for the new line.
The automaker is also planning to increase its investments in the Chinese market with an upcoming joint venture with Chinese auto giant BYD, which will create a joint-venture arm of its own in the country.
Kiesa Finance is one of the most significant Japanese auto-financing entities in the world, accounting for more than a third of its business.
The group has recently emerged as a leader in China, where it is building a new plant that will create the next generation Juke.
It also has a presence in North America and is investing heavily in Europe, and is now planning to expand into Asia.
China has become a leading automotive market with a growing demand for cars, trucks and SUVs, with more than half of all vehicles sold in the first quarter of 2018 being imported.
In March, China signed a deal with Hyundai to make a $US10 billion ($14 billion) deal to buy back the factory, which the company says is a first in history.
It will also open a new joint venture arm in Shenzen, where Hyundai plans to invest up to US$1 billion ($1.3 billion) in its manufacturing and supply chain.

H.W. Fowler
Henry Watson Fowler (1858–1933) was a lexicographer and grammarian who, together with his brother, F.G. Fowler, compiled major authoritative works on the English language.
He was noted for his typically common-sensical remarks regarding usage of English and liked to have a dig at commonly-held beliefs.
Classic Fowler... Fowlerian quips & Fowleresque[edit | edit source]
Preposition (at end): "It is a cherished superstition that prepositions must, in spite of the incurable English instinct for putting them late,... be kept true to their name, & placed before the word they govern. 'A sentence ending in a preposition is an elegant sentence' represents a very general belief. The fact is that the remarkable freedom enjoined in English in putting its prepositions late & omitting its relative is an important element in the flexibility of the language....".[1]
Split infinitive: "The English-speaking world may be divided into (1) those who neither know nor care what a split infinitive is; (2) those who do not know, but care very much; (3) those who know and condemn; (4) those who know and distinguish. Those who neither know nor care are the vast majority, and are happy folk, to be envied."[2]
Whose: "Let us, in the name of common sense, prohibit the prohibition of whose inanimate; good writing is surely difficult enough without the forbidding of things that have historical grammar, and present intelligibility, and obvious convenience, on their side". (Modern English Usage (1926)).[3]
