Etymology of the day is an important one. The root of ‘compassion’ is a Latin word meaning ‘suffer with’.

I’m writing something about the famous field of nominative determinism and would love your best examples. Mine (so far) is the consultant urologist Mr Burns-Cox.

So ... every (ever each? Ha!) writer who enjoys words (don't we all?) needs this podcast! Why did I only discover it on episode 123?! Totally fills the void since I finished "The Secret Life of Words" from The Great Courses. #wordnerd #writinglife

If this guy spent any longer without a position just like this it would be a crime against journalism and nature. Couldn't be happier.

Just led the Podcasting 201 session for #LingComm23, and I just want to say: LingPodders are the best people. 💕🤩
I asked: What does success look like for you?
And they said: Making a difference. Having fun. Building community. 😭
Never stop, you lovely people.

TA-DA!!! In today's #newepisode we're marching through the #etymology of #cheesemonger (and #cheese along the way, of course) and #parade, asking whether the soldier or the egg came first, and why mongers got a bad rep.

Newfangled? Old-fangled? What about simply fangled? Which is correct?
Bonus: Crotchety crocheting, Red Dead Redemption, and why ribbons are better than buckles. Also, taxes. #BunnyTrails
