Confessions from the New Yorker's Copy Department
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 21, 2015
This is a rebroadcast of a segment we originally aired on April 6, 2015.Â
Mary Norris has spent more than three decades in The New Yorker's copy department. In Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen, she brings her vast experience, good cheer, and finely sharpened pencils to some of the most common and vexing problems in spelling, punctuation, and usage—comma faults, danglers, "who" vs. "whom," "that" vs. "which," compound words, and gender-neutral language.Â
