Language is a living thing, and when it creeps from one culture to the next, purists take note. This hour we'll talk about how English has oozed into French parlance (quelle horreur!), and why we still try to legislate words. We'll also discuss the correct usage of units of measure, and how the structure of a novel can influence its success. Plus, your questions! Guests
