On the Ted radio hour, linguist Ann Curzan says she gets a lot of complaints about people using the pronoun they to refer to one person.
I sometimes get into arguments with people.
Where they will say to me, but.
It can't be singular.
And I will say, but it is.
The history behind words causing a lot of debate.
That's on the Ted radio hour from NPR.
From why yy in Philadelphia, I'm Tanya Moseley with fresh air weekend.
Today, we'll talk about President Biden's first final campaign with New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos.
He recently interviewed Biden for his new profile about his accomplishments and failures as president, his current face off with Trump, and the fears many voters have that Biden is too old for the job.
Also, we'll hear from writer Lucy Sont.
She's been writing books since the 1980s, exploring everything from photography to urban history.
In her latest memoir, I heard her call my name, she writes about the bombshell she dropped in 2021, gender transitioning in her sixties.
I'm seeing and experiencing things I've seen and experienced a million times, but with a completely different lens now.
And Maureen Corrigan will review Sloan Crosley's new memoir about grief that's coming up on Fresh Air weekend.
