For fans of Mary Norris and Benjamin Dreyer, an unconventional guide to the English language drawn from the cross-country adventures of an itinerant grammarian When EllenJovinfirst 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 hitattracting the attention of theNew York Times, NPR, and CBS National Newsthat Ellen soon hit the road, traveling across the U.S. to answer questions from students, retired editors, bickering couples, and anyone else who uses words in this world. InRebel with a Clauseshe tackles what is most on people's minds, grammatically speakingfrom the Oxford comma to things you were never told about dictionaries, the ubiquity oflike, common errors in online dating profiles, the likely lifespan ofwhom, semicolonphobia, and much, much more! Punctuated with linguistic debates from tiny towns to sprawling state capitals, this is a treasure trove for anyone wishing to shore up their prose or delight in our age-old and universal fascination with language.
