Best posts?

I'm considering pitching a column to The Walrus magazine and they ask that the pitch include writing samples. I figured that I might include some posts from here, but I'm not sure what to include. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

I quite liked the singular they column referencing the Dept. of Justice rules. The recent post on why to study grammar is also really good.
