Before we close down our language topic, I'd like some opinions on this.
A heading in an advertising mailing from Poets and Writers Magazine reads,
in large print and all caps:

"ONE FOURTH OF OUR READERS HAS FOUND PUBLICATION THROUGH OUR MAGAZINE."

In my opinion, this sounds terrible, even if it is correct (is it?) , and I
would have avoided this construction.
