On the air today

Matha Brockenbrough, founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar (SPOGG) and author of Things that Make Us [Sic], and I will be guests this afternoon on Midday with Dan Rodricks to observe National Grammar Day.

Our segment of the show will run 1 p.m.-2 p.m. Eastern time on WYPR, 88.1 FM. It can also be heard outside the Baltimore area on wypr.org, and I believe that podcasts of Midday are available at wypr.org for a short time after the broadcast.

About John McIntyre

John McIntyre, mild-mannered copy editor for a great metropolitan newspaper, has fussed over writers’ work at The Baltimore Sun since 1986. He is the director of its copy desk, an affiliate faculty member at Loyola College of Maryland, a former president of the American Copy Editors Society, a native of Kentucky, a graduate of Michigan State and Syracuse, and a moderate prescriptivist. If you are inspired by a spirit of contradiction, comment on his posts or write to him at john.mcintyre@baltsun.com.
