That rule went out years and years ago. Besides, even by that old rule what would be the acceptable re-wording? I suppose, back then, one might say, "...deserves to be heard", but today, it doesn't have the same exact meaning. The way I wrote it, there is an emphasis that isn't there in the "old-fashioned" way.
I hope you read this before it gets deleted!

Jewel,
I haven't been informed of the "new way". I thought there were only two ways, correct and incorrect.
However, I do remember my first born telling us of her English teacher that said, "I am more of a modern teacher with regard to grammar and punctuation. I don't worry about that."
And all this time, I thought that was the lazy way. Mybad.
