Rebel With A Clause: Tales and Tips from a Roving Grammarian

This unconventional guide to English, drawn from the author’s cross-country adventures, explores various grammatical topics.

After setting up a “Grammar Table” in Manhattan, Ellen Jovin quickly attracted visitors with her expertise. The success led her to travel across the U.S., answering questions from students, editors, and anyone using language. In this book, she addresses popular grammatical concerns, such as the Oxford comma, dictionary definitions, online dating errors, and the lifespan of “whom.” Punctuated by linguistic debates, this book offers a treasure trove for anyone seeking to improve their prose or appreciate language’s universal fascination.
