Getting Your House in Order
We look at the confusing, but surprisingly intuitive, world of adjective and adverb order and how we can know what we're doing without knowing what we're doing.

Technical Difficulties
This week, we look at the (sometimes huge) differences between the technical, specialized definitions of words, and what they mean to everybody else.
Congrats, Grads!
School's out, so we're celebrating all the new graduates by looking at the backgrounds of some graduation-related words.
More Unknown Knowns
We return to one of our favorite (and sometimes most confusing) topics: rules of English that we know instinctively, but that we have no idea we know.
Meh, Duh, D'oh, and Other Communicative Grunts
Today we make a lot of noise by exploring nonverbal vocalizations: all those sounds that aren't words, exactly, but that still carry a lot of meaning.
Common Grammar Controversies
To split infinitives or to not split them? (Ir)regardless, we'll dive into some everyday language arguments that get people all worked up.
How Tiny Differences Can Make a Huge... Difference
Oh, so you think those two words mean exactly the same thing? Not. Even. Close.
A Lowdown Dirty Spelling Quiz (Part 2)
Kathy and Ross did their darndest to stump Fletcher in last week's spelling quiz, to moderate success. How will things go this week? The thrilling conclusion...
A Lowdown Dirty Spelling Quiz
Kathy and Ross pull out all the stops to try to trick Fletcher with a new spelling quiz. Fletcher does his best to upset them.
Cymraeg
Kathy, Ross, and Fletcher try to tackle the Welsh language, with... questionable results. Look, we're all doing our best here.
Phonotactics!
Think you don't know what phonotactics are? Even our youngest English speakers do! You might just not realize it...
What's in a Name?
This week, Kathy and Ross challenge Fletcher to an epic eponym quiz, and somehow they detour again into an analysis of pavement. How? You'll have to listen to find out!
[Encore] Where Are the Beeves?
The plural of thief is thieves, so why isn't the plural of chief chieves? And as the old woman once said, where are the beeves??? On today's show, we tackle the tricky nuance of plurals and synonyms that aren't actually ...
Euphemisms
We'll be happy to tell you what this episode is about just as soon as we get back from using the bathroom—I mean, the restroom—I mean, the washroom—I mean, the facilities—I mean…
If We Knew You Were Comin' We'd've Baked a Cake
Today we address a couple of listener questions, including one about the Third Conditional (???), before moving on to a quiz about Middle English vs. Latin spellings.
Register and Power
Today we have a wide-ranging discussion about the words we use, when we use them, and the enormous power they can have.
Broadening Our Horizons
Sometimes words get a whole lot less specific over time, and sometimes people get really mad about that!
Beginnings and Endings
We look at how a tiny little prefix or suffix can completely change the meaning of a word. Or how it could do nothing at all!
Banished and Un-Banished Words
We finish our discussion of the words people would like to see banned from the English language in 2026 and then we uncover some uncommonly odd things about one particular prefix.
Banish These Words! (Some of them... at least for a little while)
We go through a list of words people want to banish in 2026 and then take a swing over to the weird world of contractions. You ain't heard nothin' yet!
