• Where do they say CHUBE instead of TUBE?
• When did contractions come into English, and why don't characters in period dramas use them?
• Did Hebrew displace Yiddish when it was revitalised?
• Do bilingual children have delays in syntax?
• When did the word APOLOGY move from a defence to an expression of contrition?
• Did linguistics affect your religious faith?
