      A great lesson indeed Elliott...! I've always had issues with some of the UK county names, and thanks to you of course, was able to clear a lot of it, especially the "shire" part as in Worcestershire and "ster" consonant cluster.
      Oh and btw, people are loving the new look of course, the comments have been very kind and generous in admiring and complementing your new look.
      Thanks a lot for your generous work mate ❤
      God bless you and your family Elliott 🙏

    If you ask me, there was no need for that prologue! You can do whatever you want with your hair, body, etc. without having to please everyone or explain things to them. Besides, most of us love you for who you are as a person and as a teacher. No hairstyle is going to change that :)

    From the first episode until now, I am pretty sure that it was not only me myself who was amazed by your exquisite skill in grooming your hairstyle; then now it has turned out to be a super challenging style, " super short hair", which counts on the features perfection, you certainly nailed it ! Moreover, the tone of your voice, with a standard modern RP British accent, helped me a lot. I am sending my heartfelt gratitude and best wishes from Taipei, Taiwan.

    Do you use "got" after "have" in British accent?
    Like, "Have uoy got a pen?" Or "Do you have a pen?" Which one is correct in RP?
