98. Grammar w/ Ellen Jovin
Manage episode 426555309 series 3531545
Emily and Kyle go back to school and chat with author, purveyor of grammar and writing tips, and host of the Grammar Bee at your next corporate event, Ellen Jovin!
Jovin talks about her passion for language–going all the way back to sentence diagramming in her school days, and continuing into co-founding a company teaching courses in writing and speech in the corporate sphere. That passion reaches its fullest potential in Jovin’s Grammar Table, which she takes across the nation to field grammar questions on the street.
Jovin tells stories of people’s personal connections to language, half-remembered lessons from their English class teachers, heated conflicts over punctuation and semantics, and the many differing standards among writers. Lastly, Jovin tests Kyle and Emily’s knowledge of English grammar with her twist on a spelling bee.
