Show Notes

For this special live LingFest23 episode, we'll again be voting on tricky language issues, and our votes will be binding on all English users for all time because that's how language works.

  • If you had to walk 10 kilometres "there and back", how far away is the place?
  • How many holes does a straw have?
  • And if "Floyd and the chickens are outside", is Floyd also a chicken?

And many more!
