20221221 Untangling Transportation – Your Transportation Gift list Originally Aired December 21, 2022, on ACB Media 6

The holidays are upon us, and this time of year is all about gifts and sharing. So instead of having one person doing all the talking, we invited each attendee to share their transportation wish list for 2023 and beyond. Participants shared:

  • Greatest transportation needs
  • Ideas for making transportation better
  • Or suggestions for topics and speakers for future Untangling Transportation events

If we can help with a quick answer to a quick question, we will. This was mostly about each of you speaking and the rest of us listening, empathizing, learning, and thinking about what we can do to move transportation forward in 2023.

20221220 Helpful Hints on Using Homophones Originally Aired December 20, 2022, on ACB Media 5

In your writing, do you know when to use t-h-e-r-e instead of t-h-e-i-r or t-h-e-y-apostrophe-r-e? Or maybe you confuse i-t-s with i-t-apostrophe-s. These words are homophones: words that are pronounced the same but differ in meaning and sometimes spelling. Listeners joined Mary Haupt to learn how to use homophones correctly.
