This show is entertaining for lovers of the written English language. There is lots of useful information about style guides (Chicago vs AP, etc.) and evolving practices in journalism. I enjoy the short snippets on familects, words invented within a family group. A sweet example is “huggle,” meaning a combined hug and snuggle time.

I’ve been following Mignon for years. I appreciate her clear enunciation and varied modulation of her voice, and the thing I like most is that she's the first to call mea culpa on herself, then follows up with the correction. The English language is one of the most difficult to master. It demands constant study. Thank you, Mignon, for being a stable host of this sorely needed podcast.

I love everything about this podcast. Mignon is a terrific host, the topics are always interesting, it’s short, sweet, and gets to the point quickly. I try to listen to every single episode. Thank you for continuing to bring us important information, that would be found nowhere else.

I have listened to this podcast for ages. I always learn something, and there is a great mix of practical, technical and whimsical in her explanations and stories.

Sorry but there are just too many ads for me. Ads at the beginning, ads in the middle, ads at the end, it’s too much. I’ve been a listener pretty much since the beginning but I’m moving on. Also, sometimes the advice seems a little under researched and incorrect. For example, in a recent episode someone called in about using the word abs and I think the answer given was wrong. At best it was misleading and confusing, which is the exact opposite of the goal of this podcast! Anyway, for the most part, it’s an okay show but these little things are ruining it for me. Aloha!
