Around Fayetteville, Ark.,  I’m known as the “Militant Grammarian.” I talk about grammar with my good friend Kyle Kellams on KUAF-FM, the local NPR affiliate. We do a segment the first weekend of every month on the program, “Ozarks at Large.”

    Occasionally, I’m called to do a special segment -- for instance, when an Arkansas legislator wants to officially decree that the possessive spelling of our state is Arkansas’s. Being a lifelong journalist, I prefer the AP Style (Arkansas’), but I think punctuation is pretty much a creative art. Not so with grammar -- on grammar issues, I’m, well, militant!

    We’re planning to start a podcast pretty soon, but I wanted to establish this page so you could send me an e-mail if you want to.
