Just in time for the summer games, Grammar Grater this week is all about Olympic language:
"More than 10,000 athletes from around the world are gathering in Beijing in the People's Republic of China to convene the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, so this week on Grammar Grater, we're going to talk about words related to the Olympics."
Listen for the language usage advice and stay for the refreshing history lesson. Of course the floor is open for your own comments. Join the online discussion: It's Greek to Us
