"[1] Stamper worked in a college development office before applying for an editorial assistant position with Merriam-Webster in 1998.
[6] In addition to her editorial duties, she presented many of Merriam-Webster's "Ask the Editor" videos,[7] a series on the publisher's website and YouTube that discusses the English language, especially unusual or controversial words and usages.
She undertook speaking engagements on behalf of Merriam-Webster[8][9] and provides expert advice and response to general enquiries on language and lexicography from the public.
[10] Stamper drew attention as the associate editor responsible for explaining the addition of the term "F-bomb" into the dictionary.
Stamper also provides lexicographical and language-related commentary for various media outlets including the Chicago Tribune[11][12][13][14][15][16] and has written on other, non-language-related topics.
