  • Painful to listen to sometimes

    The chosen topics are extremely interesting, but the interviews themselves can be a bit painful, often with very little chemistry. The latest episode as of this writing “why young adults can’t stop spending” was especially painstaking to hear and I was unable to listen all the way through.

The approach shifted from prescriptive to descriptive, reflecting how people actually use language rather than enforcing strict rules.
Dictionaries are not what they used to be
Q: What's the process for selecting the word of the year?
The process has become more scientific due to the internet, allowing dictionaries to track usage and connections to news events, making selections more empirical.
Dictionaries are not what they used to be
Q: What makes for a good definition in a dictionary?
Concision and clarity are essential, as defining words is complicated and requires distilling their essence while ensuring they answer linguistic and grammatical questions.
The U.N. Charter used to prevent war
Q: What are the implications of nations claiming self-defense according to the UN Charter?
Self-defense is allowed but can be misinterpreted; states sometimes stretch its interpretation beyond legitimate use, which can undermine the Charter's effectiveness.
The U.N. Charter used to prevent war
Q: What was radical about using law to prevent war after World War I?
It posed the possibility of using law as a means of establishing peace and resolving disputes constructively. Previous efforts like the Kellogg-Briand Pact had failed, but the UN Charter aimed to institutionalize this idea.
