Diction can make Today’s Podcast
10 Jan 2005
Let’s start the week with a listener suggestion. This one is from an anonymous listener. The word is diction. It is noun with two similar definitions. One is the choice of words. The second definition is, clarity or distinctness of pronunciation and speech.
The word comes from the latin dictus meaning to say. As I am sure you can guess, dictus is the root of several dict words like dictionary, dictate and jurisdiction.

Hi Scott, just wanted to tell you that the URL to the mp3 is wrong.
I guessed that it would be tp_20050110_diction.mp3 and not tp_20050110_new.mp3 so I was able to get the file but Doppler didn’t find it.
Suggestion for the podcast: how about interesting antonym pairs like “rife” and “dearth”.
