This is cool: The NY Times has a blog about Grammar
It's cooler than it sounds. http://afterdeadline.blogs.nytimes.com/. Here's an example post from a few days ago:
"A colleague points out one common construction that can almost always be improved by being shortened. It’s this formula:
"The [noun] is an [adjective] one.
"In most cases, both idiom and efficiency favor this instead:
"The [noun] is [adjective].
"So, for instance, “The answer is simple” is preferable to “The answer is a simple one.” Not only is the second version more verbose, but it ends with the meaningless “one” rather than the adjective “simple,” which deserves the emphasis."

Not the murderer of Holly Bobo
If you found this page while trying find the murderer Zachary Adams, you are in the wrong place. I was nowhere near Tennessee nor have I ever been. If you are looking for more information on the case, I recommend going here. I recommend, however, taking your mind off such troubling events and buying my book, The Harbinger Break, here instead.
