@mgbythesea @WelcomeToDot @GBHNews Would love to chat more about your insights, Rob. DM me if you want to set up a time for a phone call.

@WelcomeToDot @GBHNews Absolutely. I don't want to get into 'who owns the English language', dialects are just part of life's rich tapestry. However, the suffix 'um' is used consistently in England, patchily in the US, which suggests that the suffix 'ham' is the variant, not the norm

Why do so many Massachusetts town names end in -"ham" -- and why aren't they all pronounced the same? We tell you why and give you a handy rule of thumb for which towns are pronounced which way.

@lexcohan @LouisLorusso Indeed I am. Thanks so much Louis!

@LouisLorusso Thanks for watching Louis! I’m sure @ebherwick3 is appreciative!

Working in news be like

A question about a distinctive white chimney in Hanover lead @ebherwick3 from GBH’s Curiosity Desk to Boston’s Beacon Hill for a lesson on the region’s Underground Railroad history: youtube.com/watch?v=ADXbjY…

This story includes figures like 2, 20, 31.4 and 52 trillion dollars. It's really hard to get your head around the scale of this. It's estimated that fewer than 120 billion people have been born in the whole of human history. That is just 12% of ONE trillion.

@SuzeMass Thanks!

@ebherwick3 I love your piece on the Underground Railway and white chimneys. Could someone please check the headline? Led, not lead.

Turns out Massachusetts has a lot of state songs. But does it have enough? @ebherwick3 explains for @GBHNews Curiosity Desk: youtube.com/watch?v=m6hWD5…

What would the T be like without its colors? And how did the various MBTA lines get those color names, anyway? @ebherwick3 investigates in the newest edition of @GBHNews' Curiosity Desk: youtube.com/watch?v=O3G3j3…

@universalhub @KnockKnockZebra @GBHNews Strong knowledge there, Adam.

@KnockKnockZebra @GBHNews @ebherwick3 As the owner of a site that plays off the slogan "Hub of the Universe," I would be remiss not to note that Oliver Wendell Holmes also came up with the name "Roxbury puddingstone." boston.gov/news/stories-m…

Here for broth Twitter only

@nstarluna @GBHNews @meghansmith55 @BonjourParis_ I was out on Election Day speaking with voters in Melrose, Malden, Medford, Somerville, and Cambridge. A number of folks I spoke with brought up question 4. Perhaps it was not reflected in this particular video, but I know was a part of our broader coverage on air and online.

Election Day is over, but we can still celebrate The Day After Election Day™️ ? @meghansmith55, @BonjourParis_ and @ebherwick3 hit the streets yesterday to talk to voters and boy did they cover a range of issues youtu.be/aKkkzaRcCI8

With a special nod to my fellow Commonwealthians(?) in #Pennsylvania, #Virginia, and #Kentucky. #CuriosityDesk @gbhnews youtu.be/yLJju_AVx_E
