Summary: The English language has a long and intriguing history; this episode attempts to pack 3000 years of English language history into under 40 minutes. CORRECTION: I incorrectly said that pig vs. ham was a germanic vs. romance difference. What I meant to say was pig vs. pork, which is the correct pair. Ham is, in fact, germanic.
