life in lingo
i know you’re an intelligent bunch who like words and reading and book learnin’, so i’m picking your brains for a new project i’m (very very slowly) putting together… (all being well).
do you have any favourite language/word-related sites, blogs or podcasts to recommend? anything to do with how we use words and language (including slang, writing and non-verbal communication) welcome. i have a few ideas, but would like more resources, so if you can think of any, please let me have them! (self-promoters OK).

This is all about the differences between UK English and American English by an American English professor who lives in the UK.
Seeing as half my family live over the pond I find it fascinating!

Ooh, great thank you! They both look right up my street :)
Hang on, I used to subscribe to podictionary! (It’s great but my mind got too bamboozled - a word a *day*? I can cope with maybe a new word once a month lol) I might get back into it now, though - exciting! God, I’m dorky.
LOL Suz, I have faith in you all! ;)
