Ben Zimmer on WPR

Can't believe I missed it completely, but lexicographer Ben Zimmer just appeared on Wisconsin Public Radio with Ben Merens. (He also interviewed some of the Wisconsin Englishes Project folks, just as they were getting that project up and running.) The link is here. As you'd expect at this time of year, there's lots of Word of the Year stuff plus some call-ins.

Well, we've got Chanukkah, Solstice and Festivus behind us now, and Christmas is here, so it's just Kwanzaa to go, then New Year's.
