In North India, when they say `laborious'' they mean hard working, while it acually, means something that needs time and efffort. In Delhi, you will see medical shops name `something' medicoes, but the word medicoes actually means medical practitioner or medical student.
Fantastic! Do include the meaning of 'revert' as most people still use it as a synonym of reply. Although Sashi Tharoor has spoken about the error in one of the conversations with you, there is no harm in reiterating it. Thanks for the wonderful content.
You might find you've got the meaning of these words wrong. It wouldn't be your fault though. These words are misleading. Do watch the video to learn their true meanings.
Condone - Some people think that it means to condemn something, but actually it means the opposite. The word condone means to allow, to support, or to accept.
I can't tell you how I loved this video, more than any other video on your channel. This literally gave me goosebumps. Loved how you presented the words along with its usage in sentences
The word `investment' meant something different in older engilsh. One can find this sentence in Rafael Sabatini't `Banner of the Bull": "It followed a week later at Forli, where the Duke had paused to assemble his condotte for the investment of Faenza.". Here investment means `to surround with troops or ships so as to prevent escape or entry' according to Merriam-Webster.
I frequently came across a word called crucible and I kept thinking it was an adjective because it totally looks like one, as if it's the most adjective adjective everrrr until one day I decided to look its meaning up and it turns out that this dear fellow is a noun. I questioned my existence for a whole good minute.
Have subscribed to your channel the day I came across your collab with Shashi Tharoor, Power to you for being the English nut so that we don't go nuts when it comes to learning this language.....
Nice explanation of commonly used words which mean very differently from what they sound like. I learnt of some such words during my formative years only from usage. E.g. valuable and invaluable mean the same. Or that 'abreast' has nothing to do with 'breast'. Hotdog or hamburgers have nothing to do with dogs or ham respectively. For the longest time I thought 'adult suffrage' meant suffering in queues to vote, having attained the voting age 😛
😂this video was so insightful. It reminds me of how I used the word simpleton to describe my friend's fiance and how she corrected me. And I hear students using hardly as if it meant very hard.
I don't know if anyone would be as fool as me to misunderstood the word *"indifferent"* for something which is *"identical or same"* but to my surprise, it means to be *disinterested* - opps noo! it means uninterested or unconcerned... (I incorporated one of the word of this video very cleverly i guess😂) But Yeah its quite absurd to me

Bless you. So many confusions are cleared now.
Nice video, very informative
Another frequently misused one is momentarily. It has morphed into something quite different from its original intended meaning.
Yes! Also, the American and British meanings are different. :)
Piecemeal is a word like that. We can use it as piecemeal efforts. Or small steps to success
Please Please Please tell where have you bought the paintings in the background from. They look awesome.
They are movie posters. I bought them long ago in Singapore. But I think you can buy them online nowadays.

I think hoodwink sounds just like it means
I used to think that extant means extinct, regrettably so.

‘Factoid’ is not a small fact, but a statement based on an assumption, which may be right or wrong. My two annas.

"INflammable means the same thing as Flammable" !!
Journeyman is also misleading
Sanctions (e. g. economic sanctions ) is also a misleading word.
Hi.... Presently is misunderstood as at present.
I always thought gloomy means something that glows, but it means the exact opposite - something that is dull. 😅
I know a word agathokakological
Composed of both good and evil.

@@arijit1272 English is tricky! 😃

Another word I believe is "adulteration".
Is there a word for such misleading words, i.e., words that don't mean what they sound like they mean?
Somebody coined the word phantomym.
@@TheEnglishNut wow, thanks! Btw, phantomym sounds like a phantomym 😁
