Is “Funner” a Word? You’re Gonna Want to Hear This

Hello Brilliant!

Our next BRILLIANT episode drops June 24—and I’ve got a teaser you won’t want to miss.

I sat down with Anne Curzan, award-winning linguist and author of Says Who, to talk about how our language is shifting in real time. From texting habits to AI communication, we covered it all.

Here’s why it matters:

How you speak, type, and message reflects more than style—it reveals your values, leadership, and how well you connect with others.

Anne breaks down:

• What the rise of “funner” tells us about language

• How kids drive linguistic evolution

• Why empathy is at the heart of communication in 2025

• And how AI is already reshaping how we write

🎧 The full episode goes live Tuesday—but early subscribers get notified first.

Let me know what you think after you hear it—this one really stuck with me.
