Title: Disinterested vs. "Uninterested": Clarifying the Difference

Welcome to Grammar Lab, the place where we mix chemicals of syntax and stir up the particles of punctuation to help our listeners become grammar gurus in their daily lives. Today, we're delving into a pair of terms that are often swapped but have distinct meanings: disinterested and uninterested. Stick around as we unpack the subtle – and not so subtle – differences between these two words.

That's right. We've all been in those situations where a word slips off our tongue, and we wonder, "Did I use it correctly?" So, stay tuned if you've ever questioned which is which between disinterested and uninterested.

If you have questions or themes that you would like for us to address in the horoscope, please get in touch at grammarlab@pagepods.com.
