Our Mailbag is at capacity! Time to get to these questions.

- Is it on accident, or by accident?
- What’s the past tense of speedrun?
- When has a loanword become just another word?
- Why do we say we’re going ham?
- Why do people pronounce dynasty differently?
- When we talk about accents, why is so much of the discussion about vowels?
