Learned
Learned is a weekly meditation on meaning. We untangle near-synonyms, trace the histories of familiar words, and explore how usage shifts over time. It’s an ongoing conversation about language change, etymology, and all the fuzzy places in between.

“If you love languages, you'll love Learned. It's my go to for discovering new words and to fall into rabbit holes of curiosity.”
