Society & Culture
A story from 7th grade reminded me that the nature of all language is fluid -- despite what some people suggest when they complain about "political correctness." Episode 9 of 'Written, Spoken' hits back at the mythology that implies a governing body of intellectuals deems what words are, and are not, acceptable to describe groups of people. Why language will never stop moving and evolving, and why that's a good thing. Thanks for listening to 'Written, Spoken'!
