From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Consider yourself an expert in the English language? Thanks to language and etymology blog ‘Haggard Hawks’, you now have the chance to prove it.
The experts behind the book Haggard Hawks and Paltry Platoons: the origins of English in ten words have brought you a 20-question quiz that will test how well you really know your words.
The idea is to match each of the 20 words to its description. For example, if the description was ‘word that uses all five vowels in order exactly once’ the answer would be ‘abstentious’.
You have four minutes to correctly marry them up, but beware – it’s tricky!
