comment Are complex sentences uncommon or unwanted in English?
@Jason: yeah, this answer would be so much better if it were actually correct and didn't contradict itself.

comment Asking for exam results
Obviously you inserted the second sentence at a later time. "If so" makes sense after "if the results were available yet", but not after "interested in knowing how well I did". Either drop the "I'm interested" sentence, or drop the if so: "I am interested in knowing how well I did. Could you let me know...". (Theoretically, you could also reword with a whether, "I am interested in knowing whether I did well. If so,..", but that doesn't quite cut it, as he is asking for the results whether or not they are good.)

comment Strunk and White vs “Style: The Basics of Clarity and Grace” by Williams and Colomb
@jae: you're welcome. There's a more thorough (and less agitated) review of S&W by the same author here, but that's a PDF.
