Beskrivelse
Listeners have once again sent us some great questions, and we have answers! Why do we TALK SHIT and not SPEAK SHIT? Do we KEEP OUT, or STAY OUT? Why are so many acronyms three letters long? How do we break young people out of the prescriptivist mindset? Isn't "folk etymology" just… etymology? Can you think of any anagrams that are also synonyms? Plus our favourite game, Related or Not!
