Shed your pet peeves!
If you are weary of cringing at the inevitability of ever-evolving language, and if you want to cast off that over-worked nerve, this Podcast is for you.

Daniel even provides a 3-step approach to accepting and embracing change in language, and I’m on step 2 for my own aversions (“different THAN-should be FROM and CONVERSATE…I’m working on it!). Every episode educates and entertains optimally. Keep up the great work!
