'Rebel With a Clause': Ellen Jovin's grammar lifeline for word nerds
from Midday · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore
Now, we turn to a grammarian who has written a terrific book that recounts her experience at the Grammar Table, a pop-up resource about grammar questions she set up at a card table in the park near her Manhattan apartment in 2018, and which she has since carried to all 50 states. The book is called Rebel With a Clause: Tales and Tips from a Roving Grammarian. We're delighted that the book's author, Ellen Jovin, is with us, and that we’re setting up the Grammar Table, virtually, here on Midday. So, word-nerds, let’s hear from you! What are your questions about grammar and usage? How do you handle the Oxford comma? Are you a single-spacer or a double-spacer in-between sentences? And most importantly, how do feel about or my personal favorite: the distinction between the restrictive and nonrestrictive appositive? Ellen Jovin joins us on Zoom, from New York…Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
