Episode 49: Mailbag - It's That T Again (with Mignon Fogarty)
Lingcomm legend Mignon Fogarty (Grammar Girl) joins us to answer all the questions in our Mailbag! And we have to ask her about National Grammar Day. How do we bring out descriptive grammar, and tone down the policing?
• Why do some people say "She text me"? • Why are some people convinced it's the Flinstones and not the Flintstones? • Are some people saying "I finished mines"? • Is technology making us forget how to spell and write? • And why does "going to Kong Kong" have a naughty meaning in Korean?
