Again we open the Mailbag and answer our listeners' questions.

  • What do lisps sound like in languages without the 'th' sound?
  • How do gender-neutral terms work in languages with gendered pronouns?
  • Do languages get more efficient over time?
  • 'One-third' looks like 'three', so why doesn't 'half' look like 'two'?
