I have aspergers syndrome and I wasn't offended by him using the statement "autistic gibbon", I did get a little bit of a shock from him saying it since I'm not used to it being so directly referred to but I wouldn't say it is offensive.

The two camera thing reminds me of old TV shows where a character would look at another camera to speak to himself or to address the spectators. I approve of the two camera video.

The English language relies heavily on redundancy, meaning many of the words we use are not, in themselves, meaningful (ie. redundant). Most of the meaning comes from context, structure, intonation etc. It's one of the reasons why the English language is so easy to pick up, but hard to master and why it is so flexible, especially when handled by a genius like Shakespeare. I think what I'm saying is, avoiding ambiguity is good, but doing it with the English language is like trying to knit with spaghetti...possible, but extremely difficult.

In German we have clear distinction between "waschbar" (it can be washed without coming out) and "auswaschbar" (it can be washed out). I'd think "washable" means "waschbar", but I if you don't have a word for "auswaschbar" it may be not that clear.

Gotta go ahead and just comment this before I finish (maybe will add more): The 'nice' and look at the other camera, I lost it at that. That was pure brilliance! The 'please's was also quite good. Great video!

another good one is "I never said she stole my money". 7+ meanings in one sentence

Being actually autistic, I really need specificity. Ambiguity is absolutely bloody everywhere. You'd be surprised how vague people can be, they like to assume that everyone else knows less than them so they dumb everything down (I was even told to dumb down my essays when I was in college, because I might be accused of copying from textbooks, I refused of course), so a lot of meaning is lost. I'd rather someone just ask what a word means than get the wrong meaning entirely.

I really enjoyed this. The"I got two cameras now" joke really made this video stand out. Cheers Max

This is actually something that I became aware of awhile ago. I often have to read manuals, terms of service and other such documents, and I often find myself and others very confused as to the meaning of a certain phrase or sentence. One, single word choice can make the difference between crystal clear and complete confusion. I have become aware of this happening within my own writing, as well, and do my best to make subtle changes to clarify it. Having a person on hand to test how they interpret your writing helps. Just because it makes sense to you, doesn't mean it will make sense to the next guy, so make sure to check what the next guy thinks.

My philosophy teacher had this as a video for one of our assignments, it made me happy to see you from 3 years ago.

At a drinking fountain that I frequently pass (you'd call it a bubbler, perhaps) there is a sign reading, "Please pour water only in the drinking fountain." Now, does that mean that you should pour water nowhere but the fountain, or that you should pour no substance other than water into the fountain? From the context of the sign's placement, you know they want to avoid coffee stains and sticky soda in the fountain, but it does leave enough ambiguity to make you want to disobey the sign creatively. Another baffling sign isn't ambiguous, just incorrect. "Please pour out any liquid in the toilet before throwing your cup away." I believe they mean "into the toilet." I keep imagining someone realizing this shortly after unbolting and hoisting the toilet, as they look for somewhere to pour it out.

Lloyd, I strongly believe you can make a video about ANYTHING and it will be interesting. I could even watch a video of you grocery shopping and likely find it entertaining.

this is why i'm subscribed to you: you teach me things i never would've thought about.

I just have to say it. Your outro is Glorious.

in fairness, instructions of all kinds always make significantly more sense once you've already learned the thing. I didn't have trouble with those first two examples, but I'd be lying if I said I was 100% sure. The humorous thing about 'only' is that sarcastic British usage where it's not all that grammatical but serves only to imply the thing in question is actually quite significant. "He's only gone and done it again"

Magic the Gathering: I used to have a card "Lord of the Pit" The text said "must sacrifice a creature to the Lord of the Pit or the owner takes 7 damage". I had a different card called "Circle of protection: Black" which would protect me from damage from a black damage source (and the Lord of the Pit was indeed a black card). I would chose to not sacrifice a creature and take the damage then use the Circle card to block the damage. My gaming group was pretty sure that was not proper cricket. I explained the difference between "Must bla bla bla or da da da" and "Must bla bla bla. If unable to bla bla bla then da da da." I was not persuasive enough. Still had fun.

Always thoroughly entertaining. Love the witt.

What about _italics_, *bold*, and underlining? Those emphasize words to address the problem you described. And then there's "quotations" and whatever 'these things' are called.

This brought lols while being very clearly understood; and I'm glad he doesn't only have one camera now.

As someone that is still learning english, i found this video quite helpful at formulating sentences

Please don’t call people autistic to say that they’re shit at what they’re doing. It promotes the sentiment that autistic people are incompetent which impacts adversely on our welfare. You’re a great man and I love your videos. You’re an amazing speaker and extremely persuasive, which puts you in a position to influence social issues as referenced above. Please understand that this is not merely an issue of political correctness, but may actually interfere with important issues such as employability and social acceptance of autistic people. Thank you. ❤️❤️

I'm making a card game as a little side hobby, and I struggle with this every time I have to write a card effect. It's surprisingly difficult to word something (especially when English is not your first language) so clearly that you don't need external rulesets to explain how the card should work.

I have a feeling using "autistic" as a joke was probably not the best idea. I can see the backlash starting soon.

+Albert Milbert That is why I thought it was appropriate.

Even with his brief explanation it still took me a lot of pondering to work out where the ambiguity was in his first example. 'Up to 8 days before' seemed specific enough to me, until it dawned on me that we don't know which direction in time we are 'travelling' towards this '8th day before'. I automatically assumed that bookings could be made anywhere in the 8 days prior to the date you wanted the ticket for, but that would mean I was 'travelling' backwards in time in order to parse the sentence. If I instead 'travel' forwards through time then it might instead mean I can book in advance so long as I have done so by the 8th day before the date I wanted the ticket for (or possible the 9th day before, if the 8th day deadline is an exclusive rather than inclusive deadline).

I don't believe I was ever taught this in school, moreover I don't believe I have taken the time to consider this. Thank you for enlightening me on the topic and keep up the good work.

One of, if not your best video on observations on language, by far, the presentation is hilarious and just generally neat. Too bad it seems to be overshadowed by a non-pc wording in the beginning.

This video needs to go viral.

This kind of ambiguity is probably the reason for most of the arguments on KZread. It's eternally frustrating to see folks yammer obliquely at one another without either of them taking the time to ascertain exactly what either of them are talking about... I wish it was compulsory to take a course in formal logic before getting on the internet.

Very good video. Very helpful.

As a self taught english speaker, I can say that this only video was good!

OIYE, this kind of crap happened to my family just recently: My wife and I did the fall photo scavenger hunt for the local library. The paper said we had until "before November 5th" to bring them in. When we visited the library on Halloween (they had candy), the librarian in charge of the photo hunt assured us we had "until Thursday [the 5th]" to bring in our photos. So my wife goes the library on November 5th with a video I had put together of our photos... The librarian in charge of the photo hunt was not only absent, but had left for a 5-day conference! The other librarians did not know what to do. They didn't have a list of required pictures, and the prizes had already been given out. Next time I guess we should turn stuff in early.

Loving the two cameras

The camera work is twice as good as it usually is.

Agreed 100%. I was thinking of laws for a non-ambiguous conlang (artificial language) which I may one day invent, and in this language the word by which you are limiting the scope of the rest of the sentence - where we use 'only' in English - would be declined with some sort of affix. Also the sentence "I served him drinks only yesterday" could be ambiguous even if we know the word 'only' refers to the word 'yesterday'. If 'only' is limiting the scope of the sentence to 'yesterday', then you're saying that on no other day did you serve him drinks. However, you could say 'only yesterday' to minimise the amount of time that has elapsed since yesterday. Like you might say after hearing that somebody had died "I was talking to him only yesterday!" not to mean that yesterday was the first and only time you'd spoken to him, but as a way of expressing surprise that something has happened to him since then. And finally, I love the Fast Show reference!

I remember a video about him getting that particular cane (made rather heavily and not likely to break) but I don't think he ever said where he bought it from. I'd like to get one myself, if the price is right.

Recently I played a card game which had every ambiguous term and rule possible explained in an faq in the rulebook. Also, the rules are very simple while being unusual and the game is really enjoyable so I recommend it to everyone. It's called Pixel Tactics.

Gotta love lindy!

In the US. at least, washable means it can be washed out. So washable markers, glue, clay, etc. can all be washed out if it is washable. But I can see how you could be confused.

It it what it sounds like to me. In this stage you can only advance pawns. If you could take any other actions it would have been specified. Your problem in that statement is assuming that things have been left unsaid that ought to have been said. If it says you can only advance pawns, then advancing pawns is all you can do. If you can book tickets for the concert up to 8 days in advance, then that's exactly what it means. If it's six days to the concert, then you can no longer book tickets on such short notice. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

In Norwegian, the word "mot" has three possible meanings: "courage", "towards" and "against". Considering only the two prepositions for now, this becomes very ambiguous (and possibly useful if you're a politician) when you say that you are working "mot" something.

It's great that you have two cameras now but it can get distracting if you switch between them too often; your new one is better though. I really like this episode because I am often frustrated by the ambiguity in communication and a lot of the people which I converse with don't see it as a problem.

And when you ask what they mean precisely, you get the answer, "Isn't it obvious?"

I had this problem quite a bit in high school (secondary for you speaking the Queen's Englinsh). My friends and I would play Yu-Gi-Oh and argue about the rulings of the cards based on the stress on the words. I said to them "Maybe we should play this in Arabic, as it is less ambiguous with wordings." They usually agreed with this statement.
