The limits of my language are the limits of my world. [Ludwig Wittgenstein]

· Do you wish that you had a richer vocabulary?

· Are you curious about where certain words and phrases came from?

· Is your spelling so bad that even spellcheck seems confusing?

· Does; punctuation! drive (you] -- crazy?

Then you need Word Mall.

Word Mall is a podcast about the English language. In a fun way, without being preachy, it covers vocabulary, grammar, spelling, punctuation, language history, pronunciation -- all the things that make you cringe and make you wish that you had paid more attention to Mrs. McNally back in elementary school.
