Stephen Fry on Language

BoingBoing pointed me in the direction of this wonderful podcast by Stephen Fry, in which he talks about the glories of the English language and why pedantic grammar types should stop whining when people commit linguistic errors. Apart from the fact that I agree with him, I just love listening to Fry’s speech. No one I’ve ever heard uses English the way he does. It’s as if he’s trying to to use the largest number of unique adjectives in every paragraph.
