Does Ayesha Rascoe have a good radio voice? Not according to many NPR listeners, who find her loud, high-pitched and generally grating. @JohnHMcWhorter explains: lexiconvalley.substack.com/p/whos-afraid-…
There is a shade of modern American humor that many people just don't get. Or do they pretend not to? I'm not sure, but it's like a lot of modern classical music - it seems to have morphed past where all people will ever go. I explain here. nytimes.com/2023/04/11/opi…
In the latest @lexiconvalley podcast, @JohnHMcWhorter argues that Eng. "me" can work perfectly well as a subject in certain circs, and that the strict case-based distinction between "me" and "I" is an artifact of Latinizing grammarians of the 18th c. Who is persuaded? Me!

Classic (and false) "everything is racist" fare with predictable statements about how "tired" we all are in the comments. @JohnHMcWhorter debunks the thread's false claim in his @lexiconvalley podcast: open.substack.com/pub/lexiconval…

Having a baby? Enceinte? Some pregnant phrases from @JohnHMcWhorter lexiconvalley.substack.com/p/is-knocked-u…
Does Pervis Jackson say “y’all” or “yo” during the 1976 song “Toni My Love” by The Spinners? It’s hard to tell — which may the point. @JohnHMcWhorter explains: lexiconvalley.substack.com/p/from-yall-to…
The book and lyrics of The Music Man are replete with everyday, ordinary dialogue that, nevertheless, demonstrates how English often works. @JohnHMcWhorter explains: lexiconvalley.substack.com/p/what-do-you-…
English used to have a more or less typical array of second person pronouns, with thou and thee for the singular and ye and you for the plural. So what happened? @JohnHMcWhorter explains: open.substack.com/pub/lexiconval…
How could I miss yesterday's #InternationalPodcastDay ?🤦 Love podcasts! My personal faves are #HeSaidEllaDijo from @EricWinter1 and @Roselyn_Sanchez , @lexiconvalley, and #GrammarGirl from @GrammarGirl (yes, I'm an Oxford comma gal)😄
Comedian Rodney Dangerfield was fond of introducing jokes with a kind of redundancy: “My wife, she told me I was one in a million. I found out she was right.” But those seemingly superfluous pronouns are filled with promise @JohnHMcWhorter explains lexiconvalley.substack.com/p/the-rodney-d…
In this week's Q&A, @JohnHMcWhorter chooses his favorite dinosaur. Oh, and he answers some questions about language too! lexiconvalley.substack.com/p/is-the-datum…
The racial reckoning of the past several years has altered the way we think about and use language, often for better but, as @JohnHMcWhorter explains, sometimes for worse lexiconvalley.substack.com/p/is-negro-a-s…

Another glitch in The Matrix: This morning I was practicing my German by mumbling to myself in the mirror "ich rasiere mich" while shaving. Cut to an hour later & the latest @lexiconvalley episode uses this exact phrase as an example of how English has lost reflexive constructs.
With Milena at a site called Calvary in the village of Bac, Vojvodina. I'm the one at the bottom.
I've been listening to too much @lexiconvalley . Every now and then, the word "Saramaccan" gets stuck in my head and just rattles around in there until I can find a way to dislodge it.
@lexiconvalley Regarding the 3 related meaning of right, you did not address "right angles." That would have taken you to rectangles. And that would have allowed you to bring in words related to "rectify"...
In the latest @lexiconvalley podcast, @JohnHMcWhorter argues that Eng. "me" can work perfectly well as a subject in certain circs, and that the strict case-based distinction between "me" and "I" is an artifact of Latinizing grammarians of the 18th c. Who is persuaded? Me!

@rrwayne78 @lexiconvalley @JohnHMcWhorter Enceinte also has meaning of enclosure, so a loudspeaker is "une enceinte acoustique", ie an acoustic enclosure that contains the different components of the speaker.
Btw, all - in this episode, I neglected to credit Jeremy Wells @profwells who cleanly and politely corrected the mistaken interpretation of this expression.

@petrichor994 the occasional etymological puzzle really beaks up the monotony of importing historical scores, lol 😅. Do you follow the @lexiconvalley podcast? it's wonderful. I haven't missed an episode since the veeeery beginning (even with the prior hosts). Another good one: @englishhistpod
I just discovered this podcast! If you are interested in language, this is a great place to start and easy to digest: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lex… @lexiconvalley
@lexiconvalley my colleagues (e.g. @himmelstreet ) and I would like to know why it is “looking xxx up” and not “looking xxx down.”
@TheAnnaGat Shoutout to @lexiconvalley podcast if you’re interested in language history, evolution, etymology…!
@lexiconvalley love the podcast. Have noticed that a lot of US shows on Netflix/Disney etc now automatically put subtitles on when there are British or Australians speaking. Do Americans genuinely need this?
How could I miss yesterday's #InternationalPodcastDay ?🤦 Love podcasts! My personal faves are #HeSaidEllaDijo from @EricWinter1 and @Roselyn_Sanchez , @lexiconvalley, and #GrammarGirl from @GrammarGirl (yes, I'm an Oxford comma gal)😄
@lexiconvalley @JohnHMcWhorter Rodney Dangerfiel was hilarious. 🤣
I told my therapist I'm trying to organize my retirement (unlike my work life) based on what will make me happy. But she knows me. Her next sentence began, "If you're gonna try this 'happiness' thing...."
@thomaschattwill My views on the evolution of language have been changed by @JohnHMcWhorter and @lexiconvalley (though “literally”might be a bridge too far).
