Stephen Fry on Language

Stephen Fry's appearances are everywhere you look in the British media; be it tv, print, radio or online (blog, twitter,...) it can be almost overwhelming. Maybe it is through all this that his status as British institution is pretty much unassailable. I can take or leave much of the content that he finds himself drawn to (his America series was too fleeting to be meaningful; is QI getting tired?), but there are undoubted gems in amongst it all. His meanderings on language are worth thirty minutes investment.
