I looking for someone else who noticed this.
Please explain more my brain can’t comprehend this
@@mohammedalmogalli3298 the definition basically means "not following the law pueposefully"
imo their move to invent the word and then claim it's "fake" and "not a real word" is quite esquivalient. They brought it to life, now it's on them. They've got to take care of it. There's no such thing as uninventing a word once it's out.
" the first pun was literally 'corny' "
MICHAEL I SWEAR TO GOD
I know, right?! He made a pun about the first pun.
but the epic of gilgamesh was written by the sumerians.
maize or corn wasn't introduced to the old world until the discovery of the americas.
how could they have a word for corn when they didn't even know it
rezox Damn, you're right. Now I'm curious too. Maybe it was a plant similar to corn and they simplified it when translating? Someone should answer this, please.
John Carvalho Here's your answer: It's fake and you found the holes in it. Michael put a deliberate fake fact in the video as a nod to the practise of putting fake facts or words in something as a way to trap copiers he mentioned in the video.

i think that the song "ironic" is a brilliant example of situational irony since in the song where you except the irony there is none
6:28 That particular instance could easily backfire even if copyright traps _were_ enforceable, for the simple fact that esquivalience is an actually-useful word describing a scenario that a lot of people relate to. Not some niche jargon that nobody outside of a very specific field would ever even think about using.
Shouldn't third be threeth?
That would make sense, but languages don't work that way. English decided to take a lot of suffixes from the vikings, but words used too often never got the change. This is why we have 'rabbitS', 'cowS', and 'oxEN', and why first, second, and third are all different, but everything after that ends with 'th'. English started out as one of those weird tribal languages with way too many rules, and has been fighting against the streamlining process ever since.
Alexander Abrams-Flohr Thanks! :D
i used to live in singapore and they called it thrice in the books and stuff
Though quite a few weird things in English have to do with Vikings, "third" probably isn't one of them.
It comes from Old English _thridda_ (or _þridda_), which is roughly equivalent to "threeth", but along the way the _i_ and the _r_ got switched around (something linguists call "metathesis") making into "third". Interestingly (if you're the type to find historical linguistics interesting), the same thing happened with "bird", which was _bridd_ in Old English. (The same thing happened with "burn" and "burst" among other words.)
Also interestingly (again, ymmv), these words are just part of a whole pattern of such metatheses which generally began in the Northumbrian dialect of Old English and worked their way south until they became part of the standard language. (So, it is possible that the metathesis was somehow related to Viking influences, taking us full circle...)
