Mary Norris, The New Yorker’s “comma queen,” published Greek to Me in April; Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief of Random House, released Dreyer’s English in January.

See what each thought the most common grammar mistakes people make is and what each felt was the most important grammar rule in Literary Hub.
