Episode description

Our Mailbag is at capacity! Time to get to these questions.

  • We have pronouns and proverbs. So why don’t we have proadjectives and proadverbs?
  • Is it on accident, or by accident?
  • What’s the past tense of speedrun?
  • When has a loanword become just another word?
  • Why do we say we’re going ham?
  • Why do people pronounce dynasty differently?
  • When we talk about accents, why is so much of the discussion about vowels?
