Language
My "On Language" column appeared in the Chicago Tribune from 2004-2008. It covered etymology, neologisms, linguistics, grammar, jargon, slang, accents, translation, multilingualism, language acquisition, phonetics, and other observations about the oddities of language.
A collection of these columns, The Eclectic Encyclopedia of English, was published in 2009.
