I’m a big fan of the English language and, although I make a lot of errors with grammar, I’m always trying to learn the rules.
Yet, as you’ll hear on this episode, a word or phrase might be grammatically incorrect but linguistically correct. And, I cringe as I write this, that includes my most dreaded of non-word words: irregardless.
Ouch. At least my spellcheck caught that so-called word with a red underline!
I was utterly thrilled to talk about language with Dr. Valerie Fridland (https://www.valeriefridland.com/), a professor of linguistics at University of Nevada Reno and the author of a hilarious and highly educational book called, Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English.
So, listen in as Valerie gives a mini-master class on the language we use!
