30: Mailbag of Raspberries (with Helen Zaltzman)

Our Mailbag is once again full of questions, and podcasting luminary Helen Zaltzman is here to help us answer them!

  • Why is the raspberry sound (PBTPBBBBT) not a speech sound in any language? Or is it?
  • How can sounds in a language change so much over time?
  • Am I BURNED OUT? Or BURNT OUT?
  • Why are they called metaphysicians and not metaphysicists?
  • What can we call something besides LAME?
  • Why is AMPHI- so infrequently used in English?
