Comment

Is there some Wikipedia reason why "William Strunk, Jr." redirects here, rather than the other way around? — AnnaKucsma – (Talk to me!) 17:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, somebody fixed this. — AnnaKucsma – (Talk to me!) 16:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Professor of English

Evidently Strunk was a specialist in English language (we say morphology, philology). Was he a "professor of English language" as we imply by the lead sentence link, English?

I specified English literature in the hidden template {{Persondata}} because Library of Congress specifies that[1] (now one External link) but I don't consider that conclusive.

In the book article we imply "professor of English studies" by the section 1 [2] lead link, English.
