He blogs about usage, editing, and linguistics at Arrant Pedantry and is a regular contributor to Visual Thesaurus. He also writes a column on grammar for Copyediting newsletter. In his free time he likes to play Scrabble and design word-nerdy t-shirts. You can follow him on Twitter at @ArrantPedantry.
