Speaker (Non-Member)
Richard, longtime Mensa Bulletin language columnist and former Usage Editor for the Random House Dictionary, will illuminate the terminal preposition and split infinitive. Then he’ll spend most of the time answering your questions about grammar, usage, and punctuation, such as the use of “they” as a third-person singular pronoun and the efficacy of the serial comma. Rich personifies language dressed up to have fun, so come prepared to laugh and learn. And, if you wish, come prepared to ask that language question that’s been bugging you lo these many years. Rich will be available throughout the AG to respond to your queries.
