On the TED radio hour, linguist Ann Curzan says she gets a lot of complaints about people using the pronoun they to refer to one person.
I sometimes get into arguments with people where they will say to me, but it can't be singular.
And I will say, but it is.
The history behind words causing a lot of debate.
That's on the Ted radio hour from NPR.
This is fresh air.
I'm Tanya Moseley, longtime host of NPR's Morning Edition.
Bob Edwards died on Saturday from heart failure and complications of bladder cancer.
He was 76.
At the end of his final morning Edition, Edwards had this to I have.
Been hosting programs on NPR for 30 years, five and a half years on All Things considered, 24 years and six months on Morning Edition.
But this program is the last Ayesha.
Host Bob Edwards was commonly thought of as having the voice we woke up to, and his 2004 removal as an NPR host did not go over well with listeners.
An avalanche of letters followed, most in protest of the decision.
After a brief stint as a senior correspondent for NPR, he went on to host his own interview show on SiriusXM.
During his career, Edwards won a Peabody, a Dupont Columbia Award for journalism and an Edward R.
Murrow Award.
Terry first spoke with Edwards in 1993 about his book Fridays with Red.
It was about his long on air relationship with the great sportscaster Red Barber.
But Barber wouldn't just talk about sports.
