Last week on That's What They Say, we had so much fun talking about "factoids" we thought we'd answer another fact-related question this week. A couple weeks ago, English professor Anne Curzan gave a talk at Glacier Hills Senior Living Community in Ann Arbor. Following the talk, a woman asked a question Curzan had never considered. She wanted to know, "Why is everyone now talking about the fact of the matter? Why can't they just talk about facts?" Good question.
