"Where strictness of grammar does not weaken expression,……" — Thomas Jefferson

"Where strictness of grammar does not weaken expression, it should be attended to. . . . But where, by small grammatical negligences, the energy of an idea is condensed, or a word stands for a sentence, I hold grammatical rigor in contempt."
