Latin classes aren't very common in the USA. Spanish classes are. Which famously has no Latin influence.

Who put the W in sword?

Americans better start brushing up on their Spanish!😂

Is the English word “cat” related to late Latin “cattus”?

So...when can we get around to shifting things into a more usable form?

I am now 76 and observe that some of these things happened in my lifetime. Old folks in my childhood spoke one way and children today speak another, at least in some ways.

this is brilliant. please tell me that you aren't doing all of this yourself. if so , impressive

I always wondered why Sting sang “I’m a pool hall ace, every breath you take “. 😂

I hear people saying, all timers disease, or old timers disease as opposed to Alzheimer's. annoying

My twins had a classmate that passed away and a scholarship set up on her honor. Her best friend asked my son to proof her paper. She pledged to never "take life for granite" he was heavy-hearted after that.

What about Virginia??

What do you call it when somebody erroneously uses a phrase like “that begs the question”?

You forgot the full chemical name of insulin :( Methioninthreoninthreoninglutamiglutamiglyciphenylalaninlalaninglutamiglylysiprolinserineleucivalinhistidintyrotryptophasparticysteinalaninargininasparaginalipharomatiglutamaproliglutaminyltyrosyleuccylyseryvalyhistidinglutamaprolinisoleucine This is a whopping 242 letters long!

I'm embarrassed to say that as a native of Delaware, I only recently learned that Lord De La War was named Thomas West. I don't recall that ever being taught in school.

New letter!

We probably should for words that sound different than how they’re spelt

Welsch means nothing else than falsch, wrong speaking people. People, not speaking an understandable language?

This just seems like sell-imposed Newspeak for "quirky" teenage girls lmao

'Speck' in 'Kummerspeck' doesn't mean bacon. It means body fat. 'Du hast aber ordentlich Speck am Bauch', doesn't translate to too much bacon but too fat. Also 'Abspecken' a world for losing fat means literally losing fat through activity. Speck means bacon but it also is an alternative word for body fat. Kinda old slang. Probably because bacon leads to weight.

The most dangerous book is the bible. Adolf Hitler, communists leaders don't like the bible.

This video was so fun to watch! Thank you!

Buck Naked - American Indians, Indigenous People, etc. often wear the hides of animals (ie: buck skin, loin cloths). Perhaps this term came from the idea that buck skin was the only thing one was wearing....

your cat looks something like our Creamsicle He + his ?aunt were born under our front porch

I would say that for me, it would be being lightweight, interpreter based, not having to explicitly state everything & asynchronous processing...maybe a built in api for rendering vector graphics...that sure sounds like a beautiful language to me. :)

What is beautiful-sounding to you is not beautiful-sounding to others.....🙃

If you read old letters and memoirs, as I do, you find that until the late 18th century, if not later, what I presume to be "orange" was almost invariably described as "flame-colored". The word does not appear until relatively recently. I am South Indian and one word for an orange, the fruit, is narinj.

I'm tired of having a to repeat everywhere that the hieroglyphs didn't denote vowels, so the ox isn't an A, the reed isn't an I, and the chick isn't an U. Those were the French R / arabic GH, the Y, and the W. Vowels existed, but weren't noted, which is still how it's done in Hebrew, a former sister language, where Aleph still denotes the remnant of this French R / arabic GH, the glottal stop. A small bit of actual research would lead you to know that. The Greeks took the letters from the phœnician alphabet which denoted sounds they didn't have and used them to write their vowels.

Catalan and Portuguese are the more beautiful languages to me.

It's sad that English speakers are forgetting all these great words; most adults today couldn't pass 6th grade English a century or two ago

We should listen to this guy, as he is pointing a Star Trek type 1 phaser at us the whole video.

Magenta, Purple and Violet are three different kinds of red/blue. Pink is more like a neon color, Rose red is what you have shown as pink.

Treewrite is so much better than carpenter if you ask me; I'm definitely not mad about fleshmonger going the way of the dodo though lol

The language l love the most is Farsi, followed by Hindi then Italian(some of these I just love to hear). Started with Portuguese.

I always said hunger pains. I was well into adulthood before I first heard hunger pangs

Thanks, Rob. I found your channel while looking for state name origins that I could use to teach English to Brazilians. Very well-researched and entertaining. Thanks to everyone else, too, who provided clarifications in the comments.

Scarcity effect

I recently heard about some research that found that "lox"/"lax" is one of the oldest Indo-European words still in use and still meaning what it meant originally. Neat.

I've also seen "corkindrill" as a variation of cokedrill. I believe it was used in T.S. White's The Sword in the Stone.

I am from Utah and my favorite plural is " wives " .... LOL!

The only argument against it is the typing speed (at least for me) when I learn French, I end up trusting my phone to autocorrect for me for accents

To add to the confusion: 'Serjeant' is the spelling of 'Sergeant' when the NCO serves with The Rifles or other regiment that has a connection to the light infantry (UK).

England should be called Colon

I thought you said fowl, not foul.

I wonder how many dislikes you got on this particular video.

Both of these are significantly inferior to the deseret alphabet

Amazing video Bro!

Elusive not illusive.

When I read 13 Reasons Why, I thought Jay Asher must have no idea what it is like to be depressed or suicidal. Does he have personal experience of those things? No? Then it's not his story to tell. Also, he was kicked out of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators due to allegations by 7 people saying he used his position as a successful writer to lure women into sexual relations with him, then threatened them to cover it up. I'm not saying his book should be banned, but I'm saying maybe it needs a kind of Surgeon General's Warning on the cover.
