Episode description
Here's an episode from 2 1/2 years ago. It highlights a common problem: getting "too" and "very" mixed up.
Last week I experimented by posting six podcast episodes at the same time. I wanted to see how many people would download all six. Here's the result: As of today, May 18, there have been 322 downloads of the last one uploaded, Gift of the Magi 6; 213 of Gift of the Magi 5; and then down to 157 people who downloaded Gift of the Magi 1, which means that 157 people downloaded all six of the episodes, while twice that amount only got the last one uploaded. That's actually a bit better than I expected.

A: Let's go out to eat tonight.
B: Sounds good. Where do you want to go? (Where d'ya wanna go?)
A: How about that place on the corner? It's my favorite.
B: Yeah, but there's always too many people there.
A: There's a lot of (lotta) people, but I don't think there are too many.
B: Their food is also too spicy for me.
A: Their food is very spicy, but that's how I like it.
B: You know (Ya know) what, I've changed my mind. It's too cold outside to go out to eat.
A: What do you (Whaddaya) mean? It feels great outside!
B: What don't we stay here and order a pizza?
