- Shed your pet peeves!
If you are weary of cringing at the inevitability of ever-evolving language, and if you want to cast off that over-worked nerve, this Podcast is for you.

Daniel even provides a 3-step approach to accepting and embracing change in language, and I’m on step 2 for my own aversions (“different THAN-sh... more

I used to love that it was a linguistics podcast where about Australian experiences of languages but after they went online only it quickly because too US-centric and I no longer recognised my own linguistic... more
Apple Podcasts3poetlorikeetAustraliaa year ago Here’s your honest review. The content is wonderful, but the reveling in your smugness and judgmental nature is off-putting. It amazes me that you have the self-awareness to recognize you have these issues but not the self-awareness to do anything about it. I’m a regular listener and provide a little support through Patreon, but of all the linguistic podcasts that I listen to, this is the most difficult one to get through. A little humility and pausing before you talk about things or people you ... more
