Hi John,
I’m a journalist working on a profile about Grammar Girl Mignon Fogarty for Stanford Magazine. I noticed your comment on her most recent entry and wanted to get in touch with you to get a reader/listener’s perspective on Grammar Girl.
How did you find out about her podcast? What do you like about her work? What is it about her style that compels people to listen to grammar instruction in their free time?
If you have a moment to respond to this, I’d greatly appreciate it (my Thursday deadline has crept up all too soon). You can reach me at cpurtill@stanfordalumni.org.
Thanks very much,
Corinne
ps: I like your website. My favorite Tom Waits song is a toss between “Step Right Up” and “The Piano Has Been Drinking.”
