Languge Log - Group Blog

Language Log is a group blog about language nuances.
 
What do you mean nuances?
 
Well how about "I found my snowclone in Palo Alto" which gets into the play on words from the old song "I left my heart in San Francisco"
 
So, what else do they write about?
 
How about the "Vanishing Slurs" where a Cole Porter song originally had words with racial slurs and over time these have been changed to become less challenging interpretations of the same song.
 
Hey, that sounds pretty good!
 
Great, read more of the Language Log here.
