Book
Rebel with a clause : tales and tips from a roving grammarian / Ellen Jovin.
"An unconventional guide to the English language drawn from the cross-country adventures of an itinerant grammarian"--Provided by publisher.
When Jovin first walked outside her Manhattan apartment building and set up a folding table with a Grammar Table sign, it took about thirty seconds to get her first visitor. Everyone had a question for her. Jovin soon took it on the road, traveling across the US to answer questions from anyone who uses words in this world. Here she tackles what is most on people's minds, grammatically speaking: from the Oxford comma to the places prepositions can go, the likely lifespan of whom, semicolonphobia, and more. -- adapted from jacket
