Join me and my co-host, lexicographer and slang expert Grant Barrett, for an entertaining and enlightening romp through the English language on "A Way with Words"!

Our show's similar to NPR's "Car Talk" -- except that our topic is language. We discuss your questions about word origins, grammar, slang, regional dialects, punctuation, pronunciation, and a whole lot more. If you have a question or a pet peeve about language, call us any time: 1-877-929-9673.

Or email us. You might get to ask your question on the air!

And if you'd like to play a round of "Slang THIS!" with us, drop us a line and tell us your name, your phone number, the best time of day to reach you -- and please include your favorite slang expression and why you like it.

"A Way with Words" is produced in San Diego, California. It is produced by Stefanie Levine and edited by Tim Felten, who is also our technical director. We get production assistance from Robert Fung.
