Matt Storrs explains how his attempts to innovate and advance language have been stymied by those less linguistically adventurous.

Comedian and linguistic expert Myq Kaplan tells Matt that what he got wrong was the idea that people get things wrong.

There's a whole lot of unpacking of language and how it develops. Matt also unpacks how his father deliberately sang incorrect song lyrics to him for years.

They talk about garden sentences and morphemes. They mix their metaphors!

Their interaction is so insightful that it might advance language more than the works of Shakespeare and Chuck Tingle
