  The easy answer is - yes! Imagine asking me how to say "I have a sword!" in latviešu language and I told you its "Ih hābe ain sverd!". So then you tell that to a latvietis and hes like "Forgive me I dont speak german." because the correct way to say "I have a sword!" in latviešu language is "Man ir zobens!" There are many correct ways to speak latviešu language (you can say "Zobens man ir!" or "Ir man zobens"), and there are even more ways how to not do it ("I have ain zobens!" "Blurp ir zobens!" "Man ir a sōrds!" ....).

  I do not easily trust foreigners when describing a language. Namely because the german monks who translated the bible from latin in to my language did so with blatant mistake and such an easy to see to anyone who has mastery of the language mistake. Latin doesnt have definitive articles, latvian doesnt have definitive articles only german does, and the monk wrote "Dievs tas kungs" rather than the without a shadow of a dout correct "Dievs kungs".

  At 6:01 certainly there was plenty of French influence on English but this phenomenon seems common, Gaelic for example has the same thing "thu" (pronounced "hoo" and technically the singular) and "sibh" (pronounced "shiv" and technically the plural but used as a polite/respectful/formal singular).

  Does anybody remember the movie Life of brian? Was the Goof on the r and the W in that movie meant to be a knock on the British upper class? The scene where the Roman consul(?) Was being goofed on by the Jewish people who kept giving him "R" names to say.. "Welease Wogeh" etc, so when they finally called out "Brian" he wouldn't say it because he thought they were making fun there by not giving Brian his freedom.. I always thought it was just a general funny little bit, but they were always making fun of British Society so I wonder if it was an opportunity to make a dig

  Very interesting perspective of the recent past, one you can explain very clearly but one to which I can in no way relate: in no way do I see the past as if it were a film, some type of reified image. I wonder if this is because I do not use television and rarely watch films, but enjoy reading more than most, as do many of my generation...? (I was born in Middlesex at the beginning of the 1970s to a family from the East End and from Lanarkshire. I knew one of my great-great grandmothers.)

  Makes sense that "shithouse" for outhouse was common at one point, considering the expression "built like a brick shithouse" (all of the actual outhouses I've used or seen were wooden, so I assume a brick one is completely overkill) for a sturdy, stocky person.

  15:26 “…but before I would guess 2010 this wasn’t the case. Street lights were orange sodium lights…” And, speaking of 1974, sometime in the mid-to-late 1970s, there was a very noticeable shift from the whiter street lights (either incandescent or mercury vapor) to the orange sodium vapor ones. The sodium vapor ones seemed muddy, oppressive, and vaguely dystopian. (I’ve seen them referred to as “prison yard orange.”) I can’t think of sodium vapor lights without thinking of one of the only two-extremely minor-plot points from Stephen King’s 1979 _The Dead Zone_ that I remember (aside from the fact that it had to do with someone awakening from a coma with psychic powers). Here’s the reference: _Bright orange light filled the car, turning the interior as bright as day it was nightmare light, turning Sam’s kind face into the face of a hobgoblin. For a moment he thought the nightmare was still going on and then he saw the light was coming from parking-lot lamps. They had changed those, too, apparently, while he was in his coma. From hard white to a weird orange that lay on the skin like paint._ The other point was another of those “period markers,” this one: _He was making notes on a clipboard with a type of pen Johnny couldn’t remember ever having seen before. It had a thick blue plastic barrel and a fibrous tip. It looked like the strange hybrid offspring of a fountain pen and. a ballpoint._ … _Suddenly it seemed terribly important. ‘That pen. What do you call that pen?’_ _‘This?’ Brown held it out from his amazing height. Blue plastic body, fibrous tip. ‘It’s called a Flair. Now go to sleep, Mr. Smith.’_ I think the reasons that I remember those two points, and only those, from the book and only those two were, first, at the time (in 1979), they just struck me as pretty ham-fisted and dully obvious, and, second, I couldn’t stand Stephen King’s writing and stopped reading shortly after the sodium vapor reference.
