Grammar In The Times

For once, I'm not writing about a publication's grammar in a scornful way. Mignon Fogarty, better known as Grammar Girl, "tweeted" a link to this great Q&A with Philip Corbett, the man who tries to keep grammar in line in the New York Times. Readers got a chance to ask questions in advance, and Corbett does a great job of parrying the thrusts of grammar sticklers while shedding light behind the scenes at the Times.
