• Typography on the Web: Questions for Jeffrey Zeldman—Part 1

• Una morte "percepita" – Treccani Portale
  A essere in pericolo non è il congiuntivo, bensì il dovere del dubbio, la capacità di parlare in termini di possibilità e non di sole (e improbabili) certezze, la credibilità di una classe dirigente abituata da almeno quindici anni a vendere slogan al futuro (faremo, costruiremo, approveremo) e non speranze al congiuntivo (che si possa, che si riesca, che funzioni).
• Se li azzecca pure Homer Simpson… – Treccani Portale
  Da decenni, con geometrica regolarità, commentatori più o meno autorevoli tessono, contemporaneamente, l’elogio e il necrologio del congiuntivo, esaltandone le qualità raffinate e constatandone, contemporaneamente, il decesso o l’irreversibile agonia, in particolare nell’italiano parlato.
