  • What Language Is This? 2023 Terminology

    I was under the impression that 2020 and 2021 had given us enough changes in terminology that our speech patterns would need no further adjustments.  Well, I was wrong – there are more!  Thank you to Wunderman Thompson as well as countless individuals and...

    2020 . . . . . it has been a year to remember – and forget – all at the same time.   (Who would have thought that one of the more normal parts of 2020 would be Tiger King?)  I don’t know too many people that would want to repeat 2020, but...
