What the hell is a Grammar Anarchist?
You can be one! Since we don’t have a U.S. language, feel FREE to set your own rules -- interpret grammar YOUR WAY. You’re not in England anymore. Join the anarchy of U.S. grammar! Make your choices and preserve them in YOUR STYLE MANUAL. —The Grammar Anarchist

QUESTION: When do you capitalize the "president" in the White House?
ANSWER: The Anarchist prefers to capitalize that President all the time, because she's referring to the office rather than the person. The status may have slipped, but the office needs to be recognized as important.
Now I ask whether it's spelled White House or Whitehouse?
ReplyDeleteSome write it in two words; others use just one. You choose. Note it in Your Style Manual and use it consistently.
