This contains my favorite interaction of the year, when Helen corrected Olly's use of bereaved and then he asked what's the past tense of pedant and she responded (slight paraphrase here) "the same, it's not a verb, you fuck." She also at one time says that misusing pronouns makes her sick in her mouth.

Something about her verbal pedantry never fails to amuse me. Apparently, it was enough to net her a new podcast on the Radiotopia network.
