Columnist, wordsmith James Kilpatrick dead at 89
I didn't care for his politics, but as a writer, Kilpatrick was unparalleled, and I always looked forward to his columns about the English language.

I, too, enjoyed his column and wish there were more people who understood and valued the English language w/ as much passion as he did. Very sad to hear of his passing.
