  1. Glamour *IS* grammar, etymologically, at least! They couldn't have chosen a better consultant. And now she's been interviewed by such tastemakers as Wired and Playboy. This is a great example of how our field can stimulate the interest of the general public, even better than cow dialects or Donald Trump's "feminine" speaking style.
