Programme Details
Do you get confused by the difference between 'number' and 'amount'? Or 'different to' and 'different from'? How about idioms like 'being seated below the salt' - is that meant to be below or under? Why do South Africans pronounce things strangely, like 'aswell'? And then, there's the bane of thinking people's lives: techtalk and, even worse, adspeak. If you want answers or explanations for anything to do with the English language, as spoken here and abroad, you can do no better than tune into Word of Mouth every Sunday, when John Orr and his regular expert guests tackle your questions with wit and wisdom. If you want something answered, you can e-mail the team at word@safm.co.za Word of Mouth forms part of SAfm's three-hour language and literature programme SAfm Literature, Sundays 13:00 - 16:00.
