We're joined for the first time by Douglas Harper, proprietor of the world-renowned Online Etymology Dictionary (etymonline.com). He's here to help us with our Mailbag questions, and even test us in a game of Related or Not.
In our Mailbag this time:
- What's the difference between DEPENDENCE and DEPENDENCY?
- Why is TONGUE spelled that way?
- What does it mean if reciting a tongue twister in your mind is just as hard as saying it out loud?
