  6. Censorship and the Power of Language: Adapting, Not Constraining

    In a recent video from CerosTV, the issue of censorship and its impact on the way we communicate was discussed. Ceros expressed concerns over how banning words and phrases limits our ability to effectively convey ideas, suggesting that the growing prevalence of censorship is fundamentally altering the way we speak. While I don’t disagree with the sentiment that censorship is problematic, I believe the argument that censorship is ruining the way we speak may be overstated. In fact, I would […]

  11. @yvanspijk I've been enjoying your language infographics!

    Here's a puzzler: do you have any idea where the pronunciation in some US English accents of the word "across" as "acrost" comes from? As in "I haven't come acrost that before?"

    What drives such a pronunciation to occur? Is it an #eggcorn? "I haven't come a crossed that before?" (Maybe borrowing from archaic "I'll go a-walking"?)
