Beskrivelse
Just two words, but they do so much. But what exactly? Here to answer that question is Dr Isabelle Burke, who has studied yeah-no in depth. She's also going to help us with these Mailbag questions. Why is LIKE so resilient? Why can we say "I very much enjoy…" but not "I much enjoy…" or "I very enjoy…"? When is a loanword not a loanword? Do word processors have a problem with singular THEY? Why doesn't English have diacritics?
