On the Ted Radio Hour, linguist Anne Curzan says she gets a lot of complaints about people using the pronoun they to refer to one person.

I sometimes get into arguments with people where they will say to me but it can't be

singular and I will say but it is.

The history behind words causing a lot of debate that's on the Ted Radio Hour from NPR.

From W HYY in Philadelphia, I'm Tanya Mosley with Fresh Air Weekend.

It's been said that Michael McDonald's voice is one of a kind,

a singular sound that is captivated audiences

for generations

and has given life to remixes,

remakes, and thousands of impressions,

from Tonight Show Skits to YouTube shorts.

Well in his new memoir, McDonald explores his life, his childhood growing up in Ferguson, Missouri,

and overcoming this unrelenting feeling, he was never really that good. in about his recent article for the Atlantic, do we really want a food cartel?

It explores how mergers and acquisitions and very little regulation of all but decimated

competition within food systems and supply chains.

And Justin Chang reviews Furiosa, the latest film in the Mad Max franchise.

That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend.
