658 - 'Wage,' 'Wager,' and 'Wed'
Manage episode 226380281 series 1968228
It's a Super Bowl episode! Grammar Girl investigates how "wager" is related to "wed" and "mortgage." Why does the saying "The wages of sin is death," treat "wages" as singular when it's most often plural? Plus, what does it mean to 'punt' something?
