can’t help but feel like this guy looks like a roman emperor.
-
When people say “I could care less” but should be saying “I couldn’t care less”
-
This is the most educated "everybody just chill" I've ever seen.
-
I was always a bit annoyed when teachers would correct students who asked, “Can I go to the restroom?” If you look at Oxford Languages’ definitions, the word “can” also means “be permitted to”, so, “May I go to the restroom?” isn’t the only way to phrase that question.
-
Eliza had the slickest “hii” I’ve ever heard in my life
-
An old boss used to tell us "mock my words..." and we all did mock them when he wasn't around
-
I will “literally” die on the hill defending my peeve when people type “would of,” rather than “would’ve.”
-
My pet peeve is when people say wreck havoc, instead of wreak. If you wreck havoc, you essentially create order, lol.
-
My sisters ex boyfriend used to say “You never know what the future has installed for you”
-
My pet peeve is when people hear "should've" and write it as "should of" not realizing that they are hearing a contraction of "should have".
-
This guy just summarized my four year linguistics degree in 15 minutes!
-
My husband came up with a wonderful word that doesn’t exist but should. He said he was “flustrated.” I think it’s a brilliant combination of being frustrated, heightened with the embarrassment of being flustered. I nominate this for the next Merriam-Webster go round!
-
I saw someone in the comments of his other videos call him dialect daddy. I think about that often.
-
Erik: "They're called eggcorns" Me: "Oh, you mean bon apple tea"
-
Regarding the verb usage of the word "table" — I learned long ago that it means the opposite in the UK than in the US — "to table something" in the US generally means to set a topic or situation it aside for discussion later, but in the UK, it means to bring it to the group for immediate discussion.
-
"For all intensive purposes, dialect coach Erik Singer is literally an expert when it comes to language. " This sentence nearly broke me.
-
seeing “should of” instead of “should’ve” makes me wanna cry
-
My sister thought it was “hammy-down” her whole life, as opposed to “hand-me-down.”
-
The thing that got me was when he said "coexist together" at the end
-
i refuse to give up on 'literally,' we have a plethora of intensifiers
