Before seeing @AdamMGrant’s spot-on—and stress-alleviating—post, I already had next to me #WilliamStrunkJr’s and #EBWhite’s indispensable The Elements of Style. Mr. White’s note, shown with #DrAMG’s wisdom, suggests I’m on the right track for my umpteenth scan of The Stylebook.✏️

When you turn down a request, you’re not obligated to explain why. Other people aren't entitled to know your reasons and priorities. Being courteous is not about justifying your decision. It's about showing gratitude for the invitation. "Honored to be asked. Sorry to miss it."

It's the birthday of a professor who produced the first version of what is today one of the most influential American English writing style guides. That's William Strunk Jr., creator of The Elements of Style. #williamstrunkjr
