Events

The "Wonderful World of Words" weekend at Mohonk Mountain House will be full of language entertainment. Ellen will give a talk, "The Complaint Box at the Grammar Table," at 9:00 p.m. on the night of November 10th and will also have her Grammar Table set up at the resort at other times during the weekend to take grammar questions and shoot the lingua-breeze with guests. See the link below for more information on language presenters and lingua-activities! Please note that events are available only to overnight guests of Mohonk.

Ellen will talk about her travels to all 50 US states with the Grammar Table. Why did she decide to answer strangers' grammar questions on city streets? Which questions were most popular? Why did so many people stop to talk to her about punctuation? You are welcome to bring your own long-standing grammar questions, and it is possible that Ellen will bring a few questions of her own, though she has promised the library that there will be no pop quizzes!

Ellen will set up her Grammar Table in the morning (details to be determined) and give a talk on her book Rebel with a Clause at 6 p.m.
