“Franklin, Roosevelt & Getting a Grip on the English Language” (encore episode)

People have cared dramatically about the English language and its rules across time, and we need to continue this conversation. Changing the alphabet, the gradual formation of American English, arguments on the House floor in Washington, D.C. ... These are the little known stories that make up the history of our communications. Welcome to the summer series of the Words You Should Know podcast, where we’ll revisit “Story Stop Tour” events of earlier this year and popular episodes you may have missed from years past. This is the encore of Episode 3: “Franklin, Roosevelt & Getting a Grip on the English Language,” originally released September 29, 2018. Enjoy the show!
