Great interview Bari with Alex. One really nitpicking comment is that I find it curious when intelligent people use ‘hone in’ instead of ‘home in’ - shouldn’t a writer know this? And then the people who say ‘nuke-u-ler’ instead of ‘nuke-clee-er’ make me worry - especially when they are in power (like George W.) Do we just accept that this is how language (d)evolves?

I think the distinction is that if you are talking about physics, it's ‘nuke-clee-er’, but if you are talking about weapons, it's ‘nuke-u-ler’.
