Episode 25: Strong Language (TWC13, part 1)

On July 14, That Word Chat with Editor Mark Allen welcomed the founders of the blog Strong Language, Stan Carey and James Harbeck.

 

Carey is a freelance copy editor and writer from the west of Ireland. A trained scientist and TEFL teacher, he writes about language, words, and books at Sentence First, Macmillan Dictionary Blog, and elsewhere. He tweets at @StanCarey. Harbeck is a freelance copy editor and writer in Toronto who maintains the blog, Sesquiotica, where he writes about language and conducts word tastings, rolling words around in his mouth and describing them like a fine wine. He has also written for This Week and others. He tweets at @sesquiotic.

 

Carey and Harbeck maintain Strong Language, "a sweary blog about swearing." We'll talk about the blog, and there may be swearing.

OK, there will be swearing.
