OP For some months now I have been producing an audio word a day. While it's popularity is growing, I find that many people aren't equipped to get each episode by podcast or RSS.
That's why I have begun an email notification list.
People who don't know or care what podcasting or RSS are, can download and listen to each 2 or 3 minute episode.
Today's word is "ciao", brought to English by Ernest Hemmingway from Italian where it originally meant "slave." For more information please visit www.podictionary.com
Fun - thanks for the heads-up!
btw, you could have mentioned an extra element to the quote from the Harry speech - Shakepeare is setting off not only the play on words of 'gentle' but also opposes gentle to vile, or in other words, villain becomes gentleman, rustic becomes refined urbanity.
