0:55 She's not actually entirely wrong with "al jebra". Well, sort of. "Algebra" derives from "Al Jabr". This was the shortened name of Al Khwarizmi's work "al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb *al-Jabr* wal-Muqābalah" (Arabic: الكتاب المختصر في حساب الجبر والمقابلة) where he laid out how algebra works. Which means, in English: "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing". Bit of a mouthful, that, though. So folks just called it "al-Jabr" and then, over time, "al-Jabr" becomes "algebra". So, actually, mispronouncing it "al jebra" is amusingly closer and more accurate than "algebra", really. She's, like, mispronouncing it back to being closer to how it was always supposed to be said. The Islamic scholar who came up with it all - Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī - is usually just called "Al Khwarizmi". Now say "Al Khwarizmi" without the "i" at the end - "Al Khwarizm" - and then say "algorithm". Al Khwarizm, algorithm. Al Khwarizm, algorithm. Yup, the word "algorithm" is just a distorted version of his name. It's really eponymous - named after him - but, over time and with folks not being able to speak other languages getting stuff wrong, it distorted into "algorithm". So it was probably like "I'm going to do an Al Khwarizmi" or "what was that Al Khwarizmi you were doing yesterday?" - mathematicians just using Al Khwarizmi's name as a shorthand for "doing that thing that Al Khwarizmi did in his book, you know?". Until it's called "an Al Khwarizm" and that English-ifies to "algorithm". Indeed, if there's a word in science or maths that starts "al" - like alcohol, alkali, the star called "Algol", etc. - then there's a good chance that the Muslims came up with it. Because "al" is the definitive article in Arabic - it's their word for "the" (and "al" can also mean "of the" - same as in French, where "mal de mer" is literally "illness the sea" but it's understood as "illness (of) the sea" and is French for seasickness). Diane Morgan was possibly trying to comically mispronounce it for the shits and giggles, but actually ironically landed on saying it more historically accurately and closer to where it really came from.

Possible Explainations: • It's somebody acting stupid. Perhaps they simply don't find it funny. • Many of them are Professors or teachers, or simply just mature. They know that if they are teaching somebody and the student is struggling, they shouldn't laugh at them. • If they knew it was a comedy show, they are most likely told not to laugh. If they did laugh, the show isn't live, so it was probably cut out or redone.

The world's first single use submarine... Quality
😭😭😭
Bro this had my DYING
Titan 1-C, baby!
Classic!
wow! she didn't say that
The amount of confidence she had in the “web wide world” at the end really made me giggle
I always pronounce WWW as "wuhwuhwuh"
The United Britain of the Great Kingdom...
I'm crying again.
'Beethoven was profoundly dead.'
I mean she's not wrong.
No no... She has a point
I sure hope she is. The use of "was" implies he is no longer that.
For those who are in C sharp major you better take notes
How do the people around her not burst out laughing?!
They take themselves too seriously
Because they're mostly professors and know that when people make a mistake, laughing isn't appropriate. They don't know she's joking.
@@loveline119 not even that. in an interview Diane Morgan had said the professors are told before hand they are going to be on a comedy show, but not what will be said to them. She said sometimes they have to redo takes if they burst out laughing :D
They probably do. It's not live so they can try multiple times.
@@loveline119 Of course they know. Sometimes you can even see the restraint in their faces because they're trying so hard not to laugh 😆
my favorite will always be "king arthur came a lot"
I love the expressions on the faces of the people she interviews. Trying so hard not to react.
1:54 "for bigger vessels led to the invention of the Titan 1C, the world's first single-use submarine" too soon.

Beat me to it. Algebra does have an Arabic etymology, not necessarily an Islamic one though.

“The average Russian was a pheasant.” That tickled me.

Learning that these experts keep coming back years later is awesome.
The sheer, Godlike patience of these men and women. I can bet they needed more than a dozen takes to nail that seriousness between skits.
the funniest thing isn't her mispronunciations but the experts' reactions to them
Launching spunk into orbit was the one that killed me.
It hit you hard so??
What were you doing in orbit and where are you now?
Until I read the novel Money by Martin Amis (RIP), I had no idea that spunk is Brit slang for cum.
"You're labouring under a misapprehension" 🤣 that's for sure - very funny lady
I *love* the writing in all the Philomena Cunk things I've seen. Kudos to all the writers and to Morgan for her perfect deadpan delivery of them!
The Crus-Aid really got me
That was really clever because that's literally what they *were* trying to do - impose Christianity on people (or their version of it)
All that good work bringing Crucifixes to people who did not appreciate them.😭
I love the ones where she just exaggerates her accent like Blair/Blur, because as a northerner yupppp 😂 what an icon she is

joint effort between her and the experts so funny every time
the "came a lot" and the smirk of the professor got me everytime
"Will I am Shakespeare"
To be fair, this joke was done before in Futurama, and it was damn funny then.
The Titan I C, I'll never be able to see this any different now.
I mean his name was actually Cristoforo Colombo so she's partially right on that one.
First single use submarine😂 RIP
I absolutely lost my shit at the drug called "luzd" XDXD :D This whole thing is a treasure trove.
I died completely at Vladimir Ilich John Lennon ROFLOL....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I read the title as Inspirational... was not disappointed
I wonder if she gave them a disclaimer before the interviews "At some point in our conversation, you will want to kill me."
Can't wait to see an outtakes vid. How they managed composure, even when in on the joke.
How is she able to keep a straight face when I'm literally, actually spitting out my beer! I have to be careful about when I take a sip

She is so funny. Fair play 😂
Really, though, nearly any boat or ship can be a single use submarine. The hard part is keepin' 'em from doin' tha'.
technicaly, she pronounced bible properly. at least before the vowel shift where i stoped being a "e" and "e" became "e" instead of a eh
