I am going to stick with Strunk and White's The Elements of Style.

105 pages, including the index, has stood the test of time.

"...still a little book, small enough and important enough to carry in your pocket, as I carry mine." - Charles Osgood

“We now say not to use the archaic and sexist term “mistress” for a woman in a long-term sexual relationship with, and financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else”a woman in a long-term sexual relationship with, and financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else”

right ... so now NewSpeak must use one of those long composite nouns like the germans use, like “a-woman-in-a-long-term-sexual-relationship-with-and -financially-supported-by-a man-who-is-married-to someone-else”

“Paramour” doesn’t connote one way or the other whether the woman is financially supported by the guy, so still doesn’t convey whether the woman is a mistress or not ...

I’ve always believed that two titles are better than one.
