This is Episode Ten of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast. Or, as the Founders might have written it: Epiſode 10. Why did English speakers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries do that? What did it denote? When did it stop? Charles starts the show by explaining what he's found. 

Then, it's on to a debate with Michael Brendan Dougherty on the question of gay marriage: Charles is for; Michael is against. 

And, finally, in this week's Color Supplement, Scot Bertram helps Charles look back on the remarkable career of Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie, who died this week at the age of 79.
