This week, Ed Lee writes in about Jamie Foxx, code-switching, and the correct use of the word “fishes;” John Killey corrects me on the commonwealth and South African racism; we chat about the American use of the French word “reveille;” Irene writes about fork-switching and asks me about the Ashes; and finally we investigate the truth behind the shadowy world of honeycomb (and other suspicious confectionery.)

Some links mentioned: Ed’s code-switching sleep-aid; the rapier-like wit of Alec Baldwin; Irene’s anti-fork-switching article.
