Rob Words

Why don't we spell things the way we say them? Why is English full of words pilfered and purloined from other languages? Rob is here to unlock the true wackiness of words and why we speak the way we do. From the origins of silent letters, to why some terms have a multitude of meanings; all of your etymological enigmas will be solved. So, whether it's contranyms, homophones or portmanteaus that float your linguistic boat, be sure to join us!
