Rebel with a clause : tales and tips from a roving gramarrian
Jovin, Ellen2022
Books
When Ellen Jovin first walked outside her Manhattan apartment and set up a folding table with a sign reading 'Grammar Table', it took about 30 seconds to get her first visitor. Everyone had a question for her. Grammar Table was such a hit - attracting the attention of The New York Times, NPR, and CBS National News - that Ellen soon hit the road, travelling across the U.S. to answer questions from students, retired editors, bickering couples, and anyone else who uses words in this world. In this book, she tackles what is most on people's minds, grammatically speaking - from the Oxford comma to things you were never told about dictionaries, the ubiquity of like, common errors in online dating profiles, the likely lifespan of whom, semicolonphobia, and more!
