Dear Pedant

Questions and answers about the language




This site is for questions about the English language, its uses, abuses, its bits of trivia, the way it has changed and is changing - and it's FREE!

Many people interested in language have already made contact. Their questions, and The Pedant's answers, can be found by following the links below. Your answer will be posted under the relevant heading when you ask a question.

So if you have a question, or something to offer on language use and  abuse, post it to the e-mail address below. All questions, with the  answers, will be posted here - and you will remain anonymous if you wish.
