I enjoy reading Michael Quinion's [World Wide Words](http://www.worldwidewords.org/) e-mail newsletter. Quinion works on the Oxford English Dictionary and has written a number of popular books on English besides. The newsletter ranges widely through the various dialects of English and often covers archaic, newly minted, and regional words. Often he tracks down the origin of an idiom, which he always documents authoritatively when possible. I can't really imagine being interested in English (or writing in the language) without subscribing to World Wide Words.
