Are you a specialist in syntax? Are you passionate about punctuation? Is your nickname a grammar Nazi? Well then, you would be considered a Grammarian, an expert in grammar.
The study of grammar in language dates back a few hundred years after the time of Christ. The first recorded grammarian was Aelius Donatus around 354 A.D. A Latin grammarian, Donatus' writings include Ars Minor, about parts of speech. Many of his writings were used as teaching tools during the Middle Ages.
In modern times, two men are continuing the passion for published words that Donatus started. Jim HiDuke, also known as Dr. Grammar, teaches English at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. Holding a Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Joseph College and a Master of Arts degree from Marquette University, Dr. Grammar is the "go-to guy" for anyone who has questions about grammar and punctuation.
HiDuke says, "More and more students arrive at colleges and universities less-than-prepared for the amount and type of writing required, regardless of the courses they take. This led to many questions about language, usage, and proper attribution of sources from the World Wide Web." Students go directly to HiDuke for scholarly grammar advice. In February 2000, Dr. Grammar started a publicity campaign to advertise his service as a grammarian in order to help citizens with their English language needs.
Simon Hertnon is an entrepreneur who created the Naked Grammar program. Mixing linguistics, business knowledge, and his experience in journalism and photojournalism, Hertnon teaches people how to improve their communication skills.
Though Hertnon teaches in a seminar atmosphere, he stresses that his training sessions are different than the usual ones employees are sent. Hertnon mixes philosophy, linguistics, technical writing, and journalism into a seminar that is "different, effective and guaranteed."
Like Journalism, the teaching of grammar is done for the passion of the work, not for the money. From Donatus, to Dr. Grammar, to Hertnon, the work of teaching how to better use grammar continues from generation to generation.
