Worth mentioning that "urge" is also a noun: "On my way home, I felt a sudden urge to go for a coffee in the café". In regional UK accents, the first vowel sound can be much shorter, as in Scottish pronunciations, in which also the /r/ is rhotic and trilled. In American pronunciations, the /r/ may be rhotic, but not trilled.

@DavidBoycePiano I agree. I felt an urge to comment because Lucy's choice of words seemed unbalanced and idiosyncratic. I am from the West Country - South West of England, that is - and I would tend to pronounce "R" in "core" even though I do not believe I over-pronounce it and nor do I have a rural/yokel accent. There is a tendency to assume that only a (southern) Standard English pronunciation equals an educated voice. This is simply untrue and it is rather patronising to insist that the sound "must" be pronounced as Lucy states.

HI, Lucy. I come from a multi-generational musical family. This could be an Urban Legend or a Back-Hack, but, I was taught that "Gig" was New York Session Musician Slang for "Engagement." I was also told that "Gig" came about as a word, because none of the Cool Cats wanted anyone mistakenly to think that they were getting ENGAGED to be Married! No, they wanted to play the field! BTW, I treasured my friendship with Gunther Schuller, who played French Horn on Miles Davis' "Porgy and Bess" in the 1950s. Talk about a GIG!!! all my best--as a retired teacher, I love your stuff. john

We don’t say “on accident” in the USA. We say “by accident.” Sometimes children who don’t know better may say “on accident” because it makes sense to them as the opposite of “on purpose.” It’s an example of young children outsmarting our confusing language! But, as a whole, we say “by accident” in the United States.

As an American, we were taught "on accident" was incorrect, and "by accident" was correct. Of course, not everyone listens to their teachers... We also don't have "gabble". We would probably say "yammered on" (to "yammer"), or "droned on" (to "drone"), but with the exact same context. My favorite is probably "situationship", because it's portmanteauing on a German level (which amuses me)... :)

FYI, in American english the R is pronounced in "core" and is more pronounced in "urge" than the way you pronounced it.

As a classical musician, I can attest to the fact that we will sometimes refer to our classical performances as, “gigs.” This is particularly true for one-off performances, smaller or more casual venues, and things like weddings.

@user-zs3pp2cw2x. I would say that most British English people use "finicky" to mean "picky" or "fussy" - in the sense of being particular and having strong preferences. Generally, a difficult task, e.g.; one involving multiple small parts is described as "fiddly" or "awkward", not "finicky". "Finicky" has more overtones of a personal quirk or quality and is not applicable to a thing or object. But British English is so diverse that I can't say it is never used as Lucy uses it, only that I have never heard it used in that way. Even the online example "his finicky copperplate hand" can, perhaps should, be taken to imply that the writer of copperplate handwriting (his "hand") is "finicky" or particular about his writing rather than that "copperplate" is "finicky" in the sense of being very difficult.

French native speaker here. I learned a new word today (Ableism), thank you for that. As for nomophobia, it sounds like disappointingly naive modern construct based on combining "no mobile" and "phobia" as opposed to the actual Greek prefix "nomo" which refers to law or custom. Monophobia, although broader in scope would seem more appropriate than this neologism. Where have the nice greek, latin and germanic roots gone to?

It's just waste of time, as for foreigner learning English as foreign language, I don't want to spend and waste my whole time learning less important words like that. But I'm a bit surprised that gabble is also a word used not quite often, it gives me a feeling that I'm wasting my time in silly way trying to memorize less useful words, thinking of the efficacy of my time and its usage. I feel like investing too much of my time for less valuable thing. Piss off.

Deliberate is often used to mean intentional but more accurately it means to do something having given mental consideration to the act. (Having, 'Deliberated' upon it). It implies some agency of the higher mind is involved rather than merely a more instinctual or invoulentary/reflexive action. Reflexive actions can also include an aspect of intentionality, however this, 'intentionality' is hard wired and involves little or no use of abstractions or symbolic conceptualisations.

Of course, a core memory can also be an assemblage of doughnut-shaped ferrites, usually with a small amount of lithium to make their hysteresis characteristics more independent of temperature, with wires strung through them. The IBM 704 was an early commercial computer with a core memory, as opposed to drum memories, Williams Tubes, and mercury or piezoelectric delay lines. The Honeywell 200 pioneered the use of core memories with cores containing lithium to improve their temperature characteristics.

It is still a derivation of central or inner. The iron ferrite core is at the center of coil or crossing in the memory. Same as reactor core, pencil core, processing core, apple core, core span, etc.

As a close to 65 year old American, I remember my English classes, which always included spelling, even in my Senior AP English class. When my husband and I got married, I referred to him as Mr. Dictionary as he actually read the Dictionary as a child.

Hi Lucy! I am a teacher for multi sensory impaired people and deafblind people and also an English teacher. I am very pleased, not happy of course, that you showed the perfect translation for a new word in the field of Special Education: ableism! We do have something similar in Portuguese (I am Brazilian) but I had never heard it in English before! As I do sometimes translations related to the field of Special Ed I would like to thank you very much! Many Brazilian kisses!

Don't feel too bad (anguished?) .... English is my first and (I'm embarassed to admit) only language, I was also a teacher, majored in English when I did my B Ed., taught English to non English speakers (ESL) then advised teachers how to teach ESL and afterwards wrote a column in a major Australian newspaper .... and have never before heard the word ableism. It's an absolute cracker (corker, ripper, Bobby Dazzler) - "Manuel exhibits traits of ableism". "Sarah is an ableist". I wonder if one can suffer from disableism?! I reckon it would be more correct to say that someone experiences disableism - ?! Could one miraculously be (or become?) disableised - in the same way as one might perhaps be (or become) denazified? 🤣 Here's one for you - "I have long experienced solastalgia". I wager that word will have you feeling inordinately perplexed. 😊 🦘

So, why don't you write all these advancements in English, then?

I did not know the last three words! Thank you for the lesson!

What I love about the English language is that you can just invent new words and they sound like words that have always been around. Many languages simply borrow or incorporate foreign words (often verbatim) and a significant length of time and common usage must pass before they begin to sound "normal" and people forget where they came from (words, not people). Not English. Say anything...sounds proper :)

Thank you so much Lucy

Yeah that’s because of the Battle of Hastings 1066 in which Normans won, history changed from Anglo-Saxon language, which was Germanic influence, shifted to rich people speaking French. If not this battle, English would have been very similar language to Dutch, German and other Germanic languages.

I'm 54 years old, from North Macedonia. I got a Cambridge CPE in 1994. My English, I daresay, has improved a lot since then. And yet this is the first time I hear about situationship and nomophobia. Dear Lucy, please tell us: when were these two words first used? Because I can almost guarantee they were not before 2000.

I liked the learning about the words nomophobia and ableism the most. And the starting words were a great refresher.😊

I knew all of those with the exception of "gabble". In American English we use something similar. "Babble". When a person is speaking incoherently, nonsensically, or excessively, we say that they're "babbling".
