E. B. White Quote

I recently began reading I Before E by Judy Parkinson (a fun compilation of memory tricks to help you remember things: days of the week, months, parts of speech, etc.) and I ran across this amazingly true to life quote:

"English usage is sometimes more than mere taste, judgment, and education - sometimes it's sheer luck, like getting across the street." -E. B. White (Charlotte's Web, etc.)
