2021-07-2330 minYou're Saying It WrongFlapdoodle WordsThis week, Kathy and Ross bring us a list of what they call "flapdoodle words," words that are redundant and just kind of junk things up. Or do they? Some of them might be kind of useful!
2021-07-0934 minYou're Saying It WrongSome Good News! (And a Little Warning.)No more limits! All You're Saying It Wrong episodes will be available in one fell swoop!
2021-07-0701 minYou're Saying It WrongWe're Flat Fine With These Adverbs | YSIWToday, Kathy and Ross teach Fletcher about "flat adverbs," which look just like their adjective counterparts, but are still... adverbs. Think fast! Drive safe! Who needs that pesky -ly ending? Not these words.

2021-04-1630 minYou're Saying It WrongWe're Incredulous That These Words Are Confused | YSIWWe return to our trip through the alphabet of commonly confused words, picking up with the letter "F", maybe skipping a few that are boring, and heading on through the letter "J".

2021-03-0536 minYou're Saying It WrongTossing Words Around Willy-Nilly | YSIWThis episode we'll dig into some words (and one punctuation mark!) that we toss around willy-nilly that maybe we don't totally, completely understand, and that we sometimes count on other people not understanding, either. Plus, a listener email makes Fletcher want to revisit "begs the question" to learn where such a strange phrase came from in the first place.
2021-02-1935 minYou're Saying It WrongMore Fun With Fossils! | YSIWToday, we're digging up some fossil words! To wit: We'll wade through the flotsam and jetsam of words that have lost all their meaning to us except in very specific circumstances. So batten down the hatches! We wouldn't want to give this topic short shrift.
2021-02-0532 minYou're Saying It WrongThe ABCs Of Confused Words | YSIWWe start with a quick lightning round of the most mispronounced names of 2020, followed by a TRIPLE redundancy from a listener, and then we'll tackle some of the most commonly confused word pairs in English... but only the ones that start with A, B, or C. Otherwise we'd be here forever.
2021-01-2229 minYou're Saying It WrongRedundant Language Redundancies | YSIWPrompted by a listener email about pet peeves, we'll look at redundant phrases people use every day, and talk about how sometimes redundancy... can be good?
