Kory Stamper is a lexicographer over at Merriam-Webster, publishers of dictionaries and thesauruses. She’s here today to answer all our questions about how we use language, from 11 – noon (Pacific time).
Ask Stamper anything, whether it’s about the correct way to pluralize “octopus”, or just how she parses out the definitions for words, both everyday and abstract. What about regional dialects, the process of coming up with definitions, and the origins behind some of your favorite words?
