Grammar Girl Interview: Randall Munroe of xkcd: Language Chat and Weird Bee Laws.

Randall Munroe joined me this week to talk about his language-themed xkcd cartoons, his simple-language project Up Goer V, his biggest pet peeve, his favorite words, and his new book "What If? 2." But I have to confess that my favorite part was his tidbits about the bee laws.
