Show Notes
In which we get together for a chat, talk about stuff we like, and — oh, yeah — answers a few questions from our great listeners.
- Other languages have a word for late morning, before noon. Why doesn't English have one?
- Why is EW the sound some English speakers make when disgusted?
- Why can you have potatoes, but not broccolis?
- Who started calling the YouTube description the DOOBLEYDOO?
- Is it WHOA or WOAH?
- Why do we use capital i for the pronoun I?
