A Funner Guide to Words with Anne Curzan
Manage episode 455957320 series 3464863
Linguist Anne Curzan has thoughts on your language pet peeves, including “these ones,” “dilly-dally,” and “sneaked” versus “snuck” (or would it be sneaked “versing” snuck?). She looks into historical examples of language changes that were once controversial and now are no bigs – and how we can be more kind by celebrating diversity in language rather than judging it.
