Do You Say 'Cool' or 'Chill? (Or, How Language "Moves")

A story from 7th grade reminded me that the nature of all language is fluid -- despite what some people suggest when they complain about "political correctness."

The New Story Is was originally called Written, Spoken with Dave Ursillo, a podcast in which the written word came to life as the spoken word through the voices of the writers who wrote them.

Created and hosted by writer, author, and teacher of creative self-expression Dave Ursillo (DaveUrsillo.com, TheNewStory.Is), Written, Spoken was a creative experiment that blended mixed mediums to explore a new way of connecting with audiences.

The show's first two seasons remained archived and available for your listening enjoyment.

Season 1, Episode 9 of 'Written, Spoken' hits back at the mythology that implies a governing body of intellectuals deems what words are, and are not, acceptable to describe groups of people. Why language will never stop moving and evolving, and why that's a good thing.
