"Youth may be thoughtful, but _thoughtfulness in the young_ is not very
common."--_Webster cor._ "A proper name is _a name_ given to one person or
thing."--_Bartlett cor._ "A common name is _a name_ given to many things of
the same sort."--_Id._ "This rule is often violated; some instances of _its

careless writing. _Such negligence respecting the pronouns_, renders style
