How conscious are you of your everyday vernacular?  Furthermore, what do the words we say, say about us?  Host Patrick Campion sits down with Dr. Eric Acton to discuss Acton's thought-provoking research on the use of the word 'the,' and its potential to show political bias, on this episode of "Focus on EMU."
