Topic: Astronomical Word Play
Speaker: Dr. Richard Lederer
Our speaker is the distinguished verbavore Dr. Richard Lederer, who is an American linguist, author, speaker, and teacher. He is best known for his books on the English language and on wordplay such as puns, oxymorons, and anagrams. He has been dubbed “the Wizard of Idiom,” “Attila the Pun,” and “Conan the Grammarian.” He will focus on astronomical terminology and language as only he can.
This will be an in-person program meeting at Mission Trails Regional Park.
