Promotional graphic for a Grammar Girl interview titled ‘Building the Online Etymology Dictionary.’ Two people appear side by side against a green patterned background: a smiling woman labeled ‘Grammar Girl’ and a man labeled ‘Doug Harper.’ Spotify and Apple Podcasts logos appear at the top.
Why does grave mean both “serious” and “a burial place”? Is news really just “new things”? And what happens to word history in the age of AI?
This week, I’m talking with Doug Harper of Etymonline about how language actually grows, twists, and survives.

Yay, that’s awesome! I attended university in Bozeman, so happy to hear some kids there are getting a great book!
Amazing images; thanks for sharing (and, yes, if only it were just a bit closer!).
I’m enjoying RAISING HARE by debut author Chloe Dalton. This novel delivers a welcome immersion:
“[…] losing my way in thickets of scientific language [...] The details slipped from my mind faster than the grass that scattered as I walked, quicker than the down blown from a dandelion clock.”
Congratulations, Jessie; well-deserved! So happy for you! 🥳🎉
