It was great to be in a room this morning with three language greats — Merrill Perlman, Bill Walsh and Ben Zimmer.
You can follow all three on Twitter to see what they’re saying about language issues: just search for @meperl, Bill’s @TheSlot and @bgzimmer.
And it’s good to know that the experts on language and grammar can seriously discuss all issues from — warning, false range coming — nouns becoming verbs to the proper plural form of the bar drink “Captain on the Porch.”
In fact, they can do it with both a smile and a laugh and a practical answer. (They agreed on Captain on the Porches.)
Ah, the weighty issues we ponder every day!
