  1. While mostly true, remember that the King's Men, his troupe, was the most elite and popular theater company of the time, they were in direct sponsorship of the crown, so not really performing for country bumpkins, they just inserted a lot of stuff common people found fun even in serious plays, like all the euphemisms in Hamlet.

  2.  @comradewindowsill4253  and don't forget dialects! Chicago, Illinois is Shikagoh, Illinoy phonetically, also locals say NevAYda and CAYnada and MeHico, but most other English speakers don't, and some names have multiple pronounciations depending on where you're from... However, a LOT of languages pronounce stuff exactly like written: Ukrainian, Spanish for most part, any phonetic script (like Japanese kana). It can absolutely be used in English, doesn't even need a separate alphabet, just getting rid of French-like que-aei-oux-ault-like stuff, and figure out the silly vowels like Y, U, O, I, E and A constantly changing their sound. Why the hell English uses U or A for "ah" sound, and E or A for "eh", when ALL other languages actually make sense?

  3. ​ @VictorDoesThingsYT  Japanese uses four writing systems at once, three native and sometimes Romaji (aka Latin letters) for acronyms and company names, that's how they get SONY or TOYOTA on signs. Almost any country not using Latin script adds it for documents, internet URLs etc.

  4. Aha, I always wondered what Ian Fleming meant with Pussy Galore... That's a lot of Van Damage.

  5. Yeah because otherwise you'd end up like the 50 nations that used to live in what is now called "russian federation", completely erased from history by the colonizers, their culture replaced with the death cult of the invaders.

  6. I like that the Isle of MAAAAANNNG has a Dark Souls boss as their flag. Same with Sicily historically, I think, it's the "Norman pinwheel three legged Silent Hill monstrosity" of so I've heard.

  7. 7:33 English uses "I do". Which is weird. You're trying to natives sound more exotic and unusual than they are. Another example right after, base 20 was literally routinelly used in Shakespearean times, my Gideon's Bible I have in UKRAINE taught me that, KJV Revelation 13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Still using "scores" a base 20 unit, for the 60. Three score, 20x3=60.

  8. Love3 the graphic animations on a map, easier to relate when you know British Islands from Total War maps and basically looting and conquering all those people for no reason.

  9. So was English, literally open up KJV Bible, if I knew that as a non-linguist teen in Ukraine, there's no excuse for language experts in UK to miss the fact that during Shakespeare's time, 666 was denoted as "Six hundred threescore and six." Not just that, "score" for 20 seems to be normal at the time instead of multiples of 10. Iron Maiden just butcher the quote and more people listen to them than read the King James Version, apparently.

  10. So like Londongrad, first part is by Europeans, the second by the colonizer horde of invading oligarchs from Kremlin that did Brexit and forbid UK's government from investigating it.

  11. 6:02 Dude, in English "a" alone stands for like seven different vowels.))) So does "i".

  12.  @atomsmasher101  languages don't have consistency with abbreviations either, for example, NATO/OTAN are the same thing in English/French, but in russian or Ukrainian, it's STILL NATO (spelled in Cyrillic as НАТО), despite the words making it (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) having different letters, but UN would be ООН, EU would be ЄС. So in one case it's translated, in others it isn't.
