Time has ravaged many of the nuances of the English language. Sound and Furry aims to make a small contribution towards rectifying this state of affairs, correcting mistaken etymologies one word at a time.

Every post tackles a popularly misinterpreted word or phrase by offering a correct etymology, supported by scholarly evidence and examples of correct usage. All of our posts have been vetted by expert scholars, and it is our hope that Sound and Furry will encourage others to take a keener interest in the richness and history of the English language.
