This week, Exile presents Subtitle, a podcast about language.

In this episode, host Patrick Cox meets author Ellen Jovin at her Grammar Table in New York’s Central Park. Jovin fields questions from passers-by about semicolons, ellipses and weird-sounding neologisms. She tells us about her word-obsessed childhood, and why a Jehovah’s Witness who once approached the Grammar Table was "not fully there for the apostrophes."

Ellen Jovin’s new book about her Grammar Table adventures is Rebel with a Clause.
