Alicia, I am probably one of the most insistent "natural language, please!" type of critics. This was a much needed correction, for I see that slight inversions may serve a purpose. But the purpose it serves should still - in my never so humble eyes - never be that of riming. It should rather be to follow
Strunk&White 's dictum that, within the larger syntacical unit, the most important word, phrase and sentence should always come last. (
rule 22 )
