In this episode, we cover the pronunciation of the word "bunkum". This word is a noun and refers to foolish talk or nonsense. The word came into existence after a representative for Buncombe County, North Carolina, held a speech on an irrelevant subject in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1820. Soon after, the word "bunkum" became known as a synonym for nonsense.

ColinI never knew there was such a term as \"conditionals\" in the English language. However, after reviewing the units, it is clear that this term is necessary in helping learners understand the needs for a change in terminology when reporting sentences or using direct speech sentences. The breakdown of using the word \"If\" was very interesting.
