  From Booksmart Studios, this is Lexicon Valley, a podcast about language.

• 00:06

  I'm John McWhorter.

• 00:08

  By the way, folks, we have a new idea for our subscribers,

• 00:13

  something that's a little bit more audience-directed.

• 00:16

  and also somewhat more conventional in a way that I think a lot of you will like.

• 00:20

  So you only get this if you subscribe, if you give us, yes, a little money.

• 00:24

  Then the idea is that every week people can send in to me questions about, say, etymology,

• 00:33

  or if you have some question just about linguistics in general,

• 00:36

  it can be a question about language and society.

• 00:39

  Send me your questions, and I will read every one of them, and I'll select two.

• 00:45

  Every two weeks, I'll select two,

• 00:46

  and I will do a written essay answering those questions and share that.

• 00:53

  with subscribers.

• 00:54

  So we'll have a little club where people can ask questions and I can give the answers.

• 00:59

  We can all have what is often called a discussion,

• 01:01

  but really it's just that you're going to send me questions and I'm going to answer them.

• 01:04

  So let's discuss as part of the subscriber community.

• 01:09

  I love your questions.

• 01:10

  I've loved that about doing Lexicon Valley since 2016.

• 01:13

  Please keep them coming.
