DAVID CARROLL: Don't beat around the bush (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Letâs explore the origin of some common sayings. After writing several columns about phrases like, âthat takes the cake,â and âdead as a doornail,â many of you suggested some others. I figured I had better write another column about those idioms now, or someone would accuse me of âbeating around the bush.â Where did that one come from?

Read excerpt
The events of September 11, 2001, are still fresh in my mind. Itâs hard to believe that todayâs 30-year-olds were in kindergarten when terrorists took so many lives, and changed everyone elseâs. A few years ago, I was asked to speak to a group of high school students about 9/11. I thought it might be helpful to show video of the news coverage from that morning, as it unfolded on live TV. The first plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. We all hoped and prayed
DAVID CARROLL: I Count Off for Spelling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More than a few times over the years, Iâve filled this space with âFacebook Failsâ or âAutocorrect Accidents,â a collection of unfortunate misspellings. These word mishaps are caused by technology, confusion, a lack of spelling smarts, or all of the above.
