from A Way with Words - language, linguistics, and callers from all over · host Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett. Produced by Stefanie Levine.

If you’re not using a dictionary to look up puzzling words as you read them, you’re missing out on a whole other level of enjoyment. • When you’re cleaning house, why not clean like there’s literally no tomorrow? The term death cleaning refers to downsizing and decluttering specifically with the next generation in mind. The good news is that older folks find that death cleaning enhances their own lives. • You know when anticipating something has you extremely nervous but also really excited? Is there a single word for that fluttery feeling? • Marrow, a set of twins, skid lid, reckon, vicenarian, miniscule vs. minuscule, and how to pronounce potable.
