In today's episode, I interview linguist, professor, blogger, and author Lynne Murphy about her book, The Prodigal Tongue: The Love-Hate Relationship Between American and British English. We talk about topics such as the British media's take on 'Americanisms,' nonsensical prescriptivism, national attitudes toward language, and so much more.
