It seems natural that Greek philosophers would have a word to describe an argument about words. “Logomachy,” meaning “an argument about words,” comes from the Greek “logomakhia,” in which “logo” means “word” and “makhia” means “fighting.” The 1937 Gershwin brothers song “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” is an example of musical logomachy. The song is most famous for the line, “You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to,” and other instances of British versus American accent differences.
