Imagine waking up in a parallel universe where everyone says "fneeze" and looks at you like your crazy when you say "sneeze"
No, it's fnese
And if that's the parallel universe in which Mr. Spock has a beard, you might get sent to the agonizer booth for saying that. . .
There is a lot of overlap between Scandinavian words and English words. Sneeze having had an F instead of an S fits well. Fnys (pronounced almost the same as fneeze) is a sharp exhale through the nose. The two words have almost the same meaning.
Bunch a doords.

Similar thing happens in Chinese character sets. One legend is as follows:
Somebody working for JIS X 0208 (a pre-Unicode Japanese standard) needed 𡚴 (山 above 女), a character that could not be typed on his Japanes typewriter. Instead, he typed something beginning with 山 (like 峯) and something ending with 女 (like 姿), cut the respective parts out, and pasted them together. However, the slit between two pieces of paper was mistaken as one more stroke after being faxed, and so we have 妛 (ㄓ above 女), a "fake" character that went into Unicode through JIS X 0208.
How did you type these?!

It fascinates me that you can track the change of some of these words through different languages. For instance, in Spanish cherry is still _cereza_ (i.e. it's still formatted with a trailing _s_ sound) and orange is _naranja,_ still having the _n_ at the beginning.
I love the list of rejected words at the back of the comprehensive OED, such as herebote (a military messenger) and compearer (a person not a party to a lawsuit who is permitted by the judge to speak upon the matter in a Scottish court, only there's no such rule), and guay (an unbridled horse).
I try to work those words into my writing, sneaking them into common use in the hope that one day they may make their way into the *_FRONT_* of the dictionary . . . .

I love it how in Spanish there's an organization that discusses the evolution of the language, "Real Academia de la lengua Española" to avoid expediating new words.
I love that due to typos English people had a naranj instead of an orange, but turned it into an orange so Spanish speakers struggled on it at first
mfw the RAE accepted "amigovio"
France has that too
I see what you did there.
You, yourself, just ticked off everyone who speaks Spanish as a first language. I do not speak Spanish at all, but I know what you did.
Pease is still used in the words "Pease Pudding", a much loved accompaniment to other foods in the North-East and Cumbria in the UK.
It's still really mind-boggling how that there was a period of time where you could publish a literature work, make your own word up and include it inside, and it would become a part of the English langauge.
You can still do that. Tones of novels make up new words, the hard part is getting enough people to start using it in everyday speech.
It’s also the reason the British say “Leftenant” and not “Lieutenant”. The “u” got mistaken for a “v” and they just ran with it.
And there i was wondering where als the rightenants went
I would have thought it comes from Greek, as in modern Greek, αυ is 'af' but a u sound is made with ου, so I was thinking the U thing shifted to F. Still cool.
I'm English and I've never pronounced it like "leftenant", nor have I ever heard anyone else say it like that. That's interesting.
@@67alora where do you live in England where they don't pronounce it leftenant?
@logan it wasn't that they confused the letters, it was the fact they weren't different letters. U and V were essentially just different 'fonts' of the same letter, with the meaning either being a vowel or consonant, and you only knew through context. So a word like 'us' could be written with the rounded form of the letter 'U', or it could be written 'vs' with the sharpened form 'V' (like in the 1611 King James Bible). The best example of this are older buildings like the American Museum of Natural History, which actually says 'MVSEVM OF NATVRAL HISTORY' on the building itself. You can also see this in the letter W, which is called 'double U', but is actually two Vs placed together, because V and U were the same letter.
So lieutenant was also written lievtenant (with there being no different letters or difference in pronunciation, only in font), and you had no way of knowing how to pronounce it unless you had already heard it pronounced (which wasn't likely, as it was a French word), so people just had to guess.
By the time it was generally agreed and standard that 'U' should only be used for the vowel, and 'V' for the consonant, it was already too late and most of the English speaking world had been using the pronunciation 'lievtenant' for many generations.
The reason for all of this is that the ancestor of our alphabet, the Phoenician alphabet, used the same symbol for both 'W' and 'U', since they were not considered very distinct. This was continued by the Romans who used the same symbols for both the vowel U and the consonant W without any distinction.
But during the course of Latin (and in some cases in Greek), the W sound evolved into a V sound. So instead of the letter applying to two similar sounds (W and U), it now applied to the completely different sounds of V and U.
I thought he would say because makers of dictionaries want to protect their work and so, every few pages they slip in an intentional fake word so that, if someone copied their dictionary, they could prove that.
Yeah like how maps have intention errors to act as copy protection

“Gubbins” is still in common use in the North of England! It means “random paraphernalia”.
Understood and even used in southern England, too.
As usual I can't tell what's English English and what's weird shit Gavin Free says.
I’ve heard it plenty of times in the South West too. Not sure why he pronounced it goo-bins in the video though, I’ve always known it as gubb-ins
Plausible. The north of England is crammed with random paraphernalia. Like Durham.
I've used it in many parts of the UK, it's very common. I'm trying to remember his list, now because there was at least one other that's in regular use. And he got the adder one wrong (I am 99% sure anyway). It was "a nadder"; naturally that became an adder.
Fun fact: in the French dictionary, they call a quarter pounder “a royal with cheese” because they don’t know what a quarter pounder is
Wow
Could've just called it the eighth kilogramer
I mean we don't use pounds in french so it makes no sense for most people
Oh. OH.
r/whoosh I guess.
There are a number of other examples where misheard phrases that nonetheless make sense (known as eggcorns) become the accepted or even prevailing term for something. "Planter's wart" (from plantar wart) and "garden snake" (from garter snake) are nice ones, but my favorite is the fact that "card shark" was originally "card sharp," but that ' mistake ' may have happened twice: it's believed that "shark" itself might come from a Germanic root something like "skarpaz."
The editors of a public safety radio frequency list years ago added duplicate frequencies for agencies to detect if someone just cut and pasted, then claimed the list as their own. Now that radio lists are now online, it's a moot point.
Fun fact: widdershins means anticlockwise or counterclockwise.
Seasoned travellers have learnt to navigate solely by the sensations that they feel. If it gets warmer, you are headed rimwards. If it gets colder, you are headed hubwards. If you get dizzy, you are headed widdershins.

Great mind thinks alike,and we're both wrong.
"Expediate" did not appear in the 1623 Oxford English Dictionary. The dictionary only began to be published in 1884 in parts and was only issued complete in 10 volumes in 1928.
I came to the comment section to say the same thing. ... I think ultimately 'expediate' is modelled after other '-iate' words.
i imagine it has to do with preventing other people from just copying and reprinting the same thing and trying to resell it as their own.
When you have finished reading the dictionary
Every other book is just a remix.
“Irregardless” is being added to the dictionary.
It sounds ignorant, and has its roots in ignorance. But we can't say it's not a word. It has a meaning that's understood by most people, even if they don't use it and/or think only people with low intelligence use it.

Gubbins is actually quite regularly used over here in the UK. It's usually used to describe the complicated insides of something, like "I don't understand all the gubbins inside a computer!"
The a/an rebracketing is happening now (and has been for decades) with the word "another" being rebracketed from "an other" to "a nother." You will often see people write things now like "a whole nother thing," rather than "a whole other thing."

Just a story about Reginald.
We have a Webster's dictionary that also listed first names that had like their meanings, few names but that was enough to get me to search every letter for names and list it. Then I came upon a derivative of 'Reginald' and so I searched for Reginald, but to my confusion, Reginald wasn't anywhere in the dictionary except Reginald's derivatives and other language versions that prompted me to go SEE REGINALD.

I thought "pease" (as in "pease porridge hot") was originally a mass or uncountable noun, like "corn" or "barley." But the final "s" made it sound plural, so people started calling each little round seed a "pea."
"Bicep" is similarly back-formed. The correct anatomical term for that muscle is "biceps," both singular and plural.

Ha take that Wendover, I love the little rivalry you guys have.
At some points dictionaries have also included fake words intentionally so as to easily catch other people copy/pasting their list and trying to sell it for themselves. This is the same thing that happens with maps, which (at least used to) each contain at least one inconspicuous fake small town or road.
I agree with blahman rockets where kinda forced into a trade & 4 1st & 4 pick swaps is pretty good only problem is that other then the 2026 pick these picks will all be 20+. So it’s up to the scouting department now
Between the line about every dictionary having one mistake and the Bendover productions joke I'm absolutely loving this episode of Sam makes bad puns.
Great video ! Except for one small detail : noone ever said "fneeze", it's just that there used to be two possible writing for the letter s : a short s resembling the one we still use and an elongated s which, to the untrained modern eye, looks like an f. But it still definitely was an s ! (around the 5:58 mark)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s
hmmmm... BUT it is Wikipeadia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And the long s was not doubled, the second s was always short, hence the German ß corresponding to ss, nothing to do with B.
I was expecting it to be something like the mistakes purposefully placed on maps to prevent copying, but I was surprised with some new, more than half as interesting knowledge.

Eke means “also” or “other”, not lengthen, so an eke name means your alternative name
Vsauce also said the same
You can eke something out, meaning make it last longer, or a least it does 'round 'ere. Often used in the London Evening Standard crossword.
Eke = eak = auch... Eke --> Auch (german word for _also_ ), which, in turn, is a cognate of the Dutch _ook_ (pronounced similarly to the English word _oak_ )

@@slashtiger1 isn't Dutch a drunk version of German
@@xeon39688 @A. I wouldn't call either a drunk version of the other. That's quite an insulting way of putting it, if you ask me.
If you'd _insist_ upon using these words to compare the two, I'd put the languages the other way around. Not so much because German is in any way inferior, because it is NOT, but simply because Dutch _might just be older_ than German. As you may know, Martin Luther standardised the German language during he Reformation, which played out in the 1500s.
At the time, Dutch was already very much standardised in The Netherlands, and was similar to how we know it today, particularly when it came to speech.
In writing, the languages were similar. But because German wasn't (as) standardised yet, this may have varied throughout the German Empire.

There is a minor distinction between expedite and expediate. Expedite has a greater general application where as expediate has a more local singular application, as in the project manager needed to expedite the request, so I made sure the courier expediated his delivery.
