After having great success with the "Grammar Table" she set up in front of her Manhattan apartment building, roving grammarian Ellen Jovin set forth across the United States with reference books and a portable table to answer the public's most pressing linguistic inquiries. This dazzling, lighthearted grammar guide recounts the practical answers and lessons Jovin offered passersby from coast to coast. From Oxford commas and ellipses to correct usages of "further" vs. "farther," Jovin tackles it all in a compilation of conversational vignettes. Lovers of language, know-it-alls, and anyone who wants to improve their speaking and writing will delight in this humorous, informational, and, of course, typo-free English language guide. (HC)
