English Has No Rules (That Last)

You’ve been lied to.

Okay, maybe not lied to, but definitely misled. If you’ve ever worried about sounding correct, if you’ve ever hesitated before saying “who” or “whom” (and still felt unsure), if you’ve ever felt like “bad grammar” equals bad English—this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth: English doesn’t actually have fixed rules. It has trends. What’s “wrong” today was perfectly fine a century ago. What’s “proper” now might be outdated in 50 years. And the people making the rules? Well, they’re mostly just… people.

In this episode, we’re diving into the battle between prescriptivists (the rule enforcers) and descriptivists (the rule observers). We’ll talk about:
💥 Why some grammar “rules” are actually just old-fashioned opinions
💥 The words and pronunciations that were once considered “incorrect” but won anyway
💥 Why you don’t have to sound like a textbook to sound credible, intelligent, or fluent

So if you’ve ever felt anxious about getting it right—take a deep breath. Let’s rethink what “correct” even means.
