Language is constantly changing. New and familiar linguistic quirks come and go. Valerie Fridland is here to discuss and champion them all.
She joins Lori Walsh to dive into the gendered uses of "um" and "uh," the evolution of the vocal fry and the politicization of pronouns.
Fridland is the author of the new book "Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English."
