regionalisms

"This word you keep saying...I don't think it means what you think it means." Yep, here's words again, but this time we not only use the incorrect one to categorize the words we talk about BUT we also give you a bucketload of words and phrases that mean something to someone else somewhere else on the planet. So grab your soda/pop/cola, kick off your sneakers/tennis shoes/trainers, and relax into the fun mess of detours and words, which, if you think about it, are the hallmarks of this podcast.

In Episode 38, the leadership team of the National Museum of Language joins Norah L. Jones to share the resources, excitement, and opportunities offered by this virtual, moveable, and outreach-focused nonprofit museum.

I've heard people defending why you should spell whisk[e]y with an "e" and without an "e" - but I haven't heard anyone give me a good explanation of where these two spellings originated or why each has found its own hooks in certain countries.

So in this episode, I'll take a look at the origins of the word and see if we can determine the best way to navigate this spelling minefield.
