Episode 142: The Department of Corrections

Episode notes

Tom brings the case against his wife Kira. He says Kira is obsessed with proper grammar, and she comes across as a know-it-all when she corrects his speech. Kira says she prides herself on correct language usage, and that Tom should do the same. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Only one man can decide.
