This fourth edition of One-Quarter Englsih features a fictional newscast about a government scandal, a controversial wind farm referendum and the discovery of a long-lost work of art.
After discussing the arguments for and against referendums, Mark and Jenna look at vocabulary differences that exist between American and British English. Some truly Canadian words like “duotang” also get a mention before the show moves on to the usage of few, little, fewer and less.
The episode continues with the fourth installment of “The Speckled Band”, before Mark and Jenna find out what quirky objects some people have in their bags.
