As vice president, executive managing editor and copy chief, at Random House, Benjamin Dreyer pays attention to words. And people pay attention to Dreyer's words. More recently, they've been paying attention to Dreyer's English, a New York Times bestseller.

We also ponder how music contributes to our understanding of language, we stop to admire Julia Child and Judith Jones along the way, and address the non-gendered elephant in the room.
