Stephen Fry Kinetic Typography - Language
Built By Matt
A kinetic typography animation set to Stephen Fry's spoken essay on language. Fry argues against grammar pedantry and for the way language evolves, including the verbing of nouns.
HN uses it as the go-to short piece against pedantry and for language change, recommended whenever grammar disputes come up.
