      She sounds like a cool ass lady who has seen a lot! Made me curious so on a quick google search, I found that her dad the congressman lived from 1891 - 1949 (58 years old), her bro the congressman was born in 1917 (their dad was 32 at the time), and she had a son in 1951 (passed away last year at the age of 67).

    I love how John and Seth interact. Seth is so good at what he does that if he starts to say something and it turns out that John wants to continue talking, Seth is immediately quiet and eagerly attentive. He lets his guest shine! If you've seen John on Jimmy Fallon's show, you know how Jimmy would talk on top of John, but there it was John who knew to just keep talking, as if nothing had happened. So the segment worked *despite* the host.

    I am in love with this man. John has been my favorite comedian ever since I stumbled upon his special New in Town at about 4am on a hot summer night & I just couldn't sleep because of my grandma's snoring (she was visiting and I offered to room with her). I was barely graduating high school. I fell asleep before it finished and I couldn't find it after that... fast forward 3 yrs later to my junior year in college and it was on Netflix. I recognized that tall child in a blue suit immediately. John Mulaney's comedy got me through dark times and I am always going to be supportive of his work. Seth, thank you for having him on your show.

      To me it was always told like this “the pronunciation of Gerrymandering is just like everything else about gerrymandering- completely wrong!

    • @ColoringKaria
      @ColoringKaria 3 роки тому +1

      Usage not prescription decides correctness. That’s why you didn’t say something like “I doth agree....” and instead you started a sentence with the word “and”! Everyone literally decides based on usage what’s right and wrong. So by definition when it comes to language “everyone” is right. Even when they are historically inaccurate. That’s why we say “ask” instead of the more historically accurate “ax a question” and we pronounce Knight as “night” not as the more historically accurate “ka night”.
      As you were.

  • @ohbeautifulugly000
    @ohbeautifulugly000 6 років тому +235

    JOHN MULANEY'S GRANDMA IS CORRECT ABOUT THE ORIGINAL PRONUNCIATION OF GERRYMANDERING. This time, everyone else actually is wrong. The Library of Congress will tell you so:
    blogs.loc.gov/law/2017/02/elbridge-gerry-and-the-monstrous-gerrymander/
    Also, John Oliver explained it in the "Gerrymandering" episode of Last Week Tonight. Here:
    ua-cam.com/video/A-4dIImaodQ/v-deo.html
    Remember, at that time, new information was mostly communicated in print (without a voice to narrate the pronunciation) and then further spread by people repeating it by mouth, so it makes sense that the correct pronunciation of new words or lesser-known words would get lost along the way as the info was distributed in written form and passed along within communities by people who (understandably) incorrectly repeated it out loud to others. It's not at all surprising that the term became popularly mispronounced with a "J" sound instead of a hard "G" sound, since the MORE COMMON pronunciation for people whose names are spelled G-E-R-R-Y is the same as the pronunciation for the name "Jerry." But Mulaney is correct in that, nowadays, everyone - even politicians - pronounces it "Jerry-mandering."

Apparently last year Windows got one too, accessible with the windows key plus a dot or semicolon, and Linux has several solutions. I gotta admit, despite being a tech nerd I did _not_ warm to emojis at first, they reminded me of the almost always hideous automatic emoticon replacement in many 2000s messenger apps, but I was fully converted when I discovered the most amazing emoji of all... 🖖 Live long, and prosper, fellow nerds.
