What's the one word that comes to mind when you hear the name J. D. Salinger? Masterpiece? Recluse? How about the F-word?
An Indianapolis listener came across an article about Salinger's use of that word, and that got him wondering about the linguistic term, infix, for inserting at least one extra syllable into a word to make it more emphatic.
