Episode notes

Valerie Jarrett talks about the use of right and when we might want to remove it from our sentences. She also discusses how Mark Zuckerberg is often called out for over frequent use of that word in just the same context you talk about it. "I actually have an anecdote in the book where I was talking to a podcaster and they were so relieved to hear me talk about all these different features of having a purpose"

Language changes, and that's not a bad thing! This week, Adam is joined by sociolinguist Valerie Fridland to uncover how language is much more malleable than we're led to believe, and how the resistance against new slang often disguises an attempt to limit the influence of marginalized communities.
