Why is it that, in this country, we drive on a parkway... and park in a driveway? And if it's true that bigger is better... why do the best things come in small packages? Are your participles dangling and in need of repair? Dr. Richard Lederer will answer not only these - but your phoned-in questions as well - about the crazy, and often humorous world of the English language. Dr. Lederer is the author of more than 30 books about language and humor and his syndicated column, "Looking at Language" appears in newspapers and magazines throughout the United States. Dubbed Attila the Pun and Conan the Grammarian, Richard Lederer invites you to phone in your comments and questions during this fun and lively two-hour venture into the land of linguistics. It's guaranteed to be a humorous and instructional joy ride through the English language as our "fly-by-the-roof-of-the-mouth" user-friendly English teacher, Richard Lederer dives into a virtual feast of our often mangled and maligned language!
