  1. I noted Bjorn from ABBA later mentioning that he had made a mistake in the lyrics of the song The Winner Takes It All when he wrote, "The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice," as "dice" is actually plural. So I am guessing that singular is a "di" or "die"? Excellent videos!!

  2.  @stevekeiretsu  Yes, I guess regular usage is what causes language to evolve. I see more usage of referendums and stadiums on news broadcasts over the older referenda & stadia. We sing all kinds of incorrect English in songs that become well-known, such as the Swedish-written Fernando by ABBA who sang "since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand," which Bjorn the lyricist afterwards admitted that it was incorrect English, but is sung along by so many people that it becomes kind of 'normal,' a bit like "dig in the Dancing Queen"! 🙃
