Manage episode 432772452 series 1968228
1007. Why do Adele and Susan Boyle sound American when they sing? We have answers. Plus, with all the talk about "weird" lately, we think it's time to examine the old "I before E except after C" rule that has so many exceptions it's hardly a rule at all — until you add W for "weird."
The singing segment is written by Susan K. Herman, a former multidisciplined linguist, editor, and instructor for the U.S. government.
