Description
Your Hosts: Brandon, Mary, Mary Anne, and Wesley
Let's talk about word choice. And when we say "let's" we mean "we're going to talk to you about it. You don't actually get to talk back." So maybe "let's" wasn't the best of the possible openers.
Our discussion covers what we want to say, how specific we need to be, and what we want to evoke in the reader. Sometimes the wrong word is the right one, and the right word is the wrong one.
Credits: This episode was recorded by Andrew Twiss, and mastered by Alex Jackson.
