Kellerman earned a bachelor's degree from Columbia University[1] in 1964 and was the 1972–73 Edward R. Murrow Press Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he focused on American policy with China and the Soviet Union.[11][12] During his career with UPI, he wrote feature stories from the battle zones[13] in addition to news dispatches. A feature written on Christmas Eve 1971,[14] about a party for the children of South Vietnamese soldiers, became the foreword to Alan Dawson's book 55 Days: The Fall of South Vietnam (1977).
He has also written a comic novel about growing old in America, and has co-authored books and articles[15][16] about the English language with his wife,[17] the language commentator Patricia T. O'Conner. He has written book reviews[18] and articles on cultural subjects[19] for the Times. He and O'Conner write about language on The Grammarphobia Blog,[20] where they have answered nearly 4,000 questions from readers since 2006.
