This week, Kathy and Ross quiz Fletcher on a list of words that may or may not have been coined by Shakespeare. You might be surprised by which ones we still use today.

We look at why Americans love to talk like our friends from across the pond— or like to think that's what we're doing.

Today we're looking at sentence stress and how the meaning of a sentence can completely change depending on which words you emphasize.

Ouch! Unfortunately, we won't have an episode this week, because even more unfortunately, one of us had an accident and sustained a not-insignificant personal injury. Everything's basically ok, but, you know, it hurts, so we need a week off. Sorry about that, and we'll see you next week!

We get back to one of our favorite topics: Words that sound a lot like other words but have totally different meanings.

We look at some words that we think are related to other words, but actually aren't. Except sometimes they are.

We look at some "rules" of the language that were mostly just made up so people could feel like they were speaking proper English.

We run through some particularly confusing grammar mistakes and how sometimes we might think we’re saying one thing when we’re really saying another.

We run through a few of the many, many English words that contain silent letters and some of the baffling reasons we pronounce those words the way we do.

We dig into why certain words are spelled ridiculously thanks to a bunch of scholars a few hundred years ago who got a little too nutso about making everything look Latin.
