342: Mailbag of Vague
Questions from our Mailbag: A whale is an animal. Whales are animals. What's the difference? Is the QWERTY keyboard designed to slow you down? Is English a creole? Why does a word keep popping up after you've encountered it for the first time? Persian or Farsi? Why would someone give their 'right arm', but their 'left nut'? Why do people ask Siri and Alexa sexual questions? Is this a new use of 'vague'?
