I came across this site:

"The Elements of Style," written by William Strunk, Jr., is a classic reference book published in 1918. I can't remember whether I encountered this book in high school or college, but yes, I did try to learn stuff from that.
Well, it seems that many writers are breaking Strunk's rules, but I guess it does help to know those rules before breaking them. I hope this helps.
