Robert MacNeil and William Crann co-authored The Story of English, and have collaborated again for Do You Speak American?, a companion to the PBS special of the same name airing on January 5th. They take us on a winding journey from east coast to west, documenting the evolution - or, as some call it, the erosion - of American English.
