Fat Buttery Words - 6 October 2014
from A Way with Words - language, linguistics, and callers from all over · host Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett. Produced by Stefanie Levine.
Teaching our children, and some advice for writers. Suppose your child is eager to tackle a difficult subject–ancient Greek, for example–but you know his reach exceeds his grasp? The challenge is to support the child’s curiosity without squelching it entirely. And: In just a few years, the United States will be 250 years old. But if a 200-year celebration is a “bicentennial,” what do you call a 250-year anniversary? Plus, amusing typos, lay vs. lie, book-bosomed, palaver, I’m so sure!, and more.
