Grammar Girl here. I'm Inion Fogarty, and for the next few weeks, while we're taking a season break from interviews, we're going to release some of the best of the best bonus episodes that people who support the show through Grammar Palluzza got during the regular season.

This week, you're getting behind-the-scenes

conversation with Aaron McKean, a lexicographer who runs the online dictionary Wordnik,

almost all by herself. And we're talking about how AI is affecting dictionaries. She even did a study

to see which dictionary tasks AI can do and which it can't.

So we do these kind of extras every time I do an interview.

So almost every week.

And thank you to the current Grammar Paloosa subscribers who support the show.

You make this all possible.

And we really appreciate it.

And if you're listening or watching and you would like to be a Gramer Paloosa supporter and support the show, we would also appreciate that. And if you're listening or watching and you would like to be a Gramer Paloosa supporter

Erin, thank you so much for being here. Oh, thanks so much for having me. Yeah. So one of the things

that came up really briefly in the main segment was you mentioned AI in dictionaries, and I am really curious what you think.

I mean, you know, recently dictionary.com laid off all of their lexicographers.
