You are excellent. I was completely baffled about certain words, it was tedious to learn proper English through books. I knew nothing other than alphabets. I was so slothful, I would only watch videos. After watching all your videos I have decided to marry perfect English and live with her till my death(LOL) Now I have started pronouncing words perfectly. I promise, this decision won't be just momentary.
Pet peeve: The way people in the corporate world misuse the apostrophe in their presentations . One great book I read on punctuation was ‘Eats, shoots & leaves’ by Lynne Truss. OMG I find myself editing this a hundred times before sending this to you.😁
One of my pet peeves is with people who abbreviate everything when using SMS or with social media. For example, some lazy people simply use 'n' instead of inserting an ampersand when they actually mean 'and'. Reading certain messages takes all my concentration and fine motor skills as I try to magnify them or turn the device around to check if it is actually me who has misread it somehow. Spelling errors, I can understand, but atrocious abbreviations should be actionable! Oh, n BTW, gud vid. 'Presh it.
I stumbled upon your channel and I am enjoying your posts tremendously. Excellent job! I’d like to point out some peeves of mine when it comes to regional variances in usage. 1. “He freaked out.” For a native speaker, it typically means, “He went berserk or became unreasonably angry/irrational.” In Indian English, it is used to denote that “he had a wonderful time (as in a vacation, reunion or party)”. It is a positive connotation. 2. He passed out.” This is typically used to mean “he graduated” in Indian English. For native speakers, it means, “he fainted”. 3. I’ll revert (back).” In North America, “to revert” means “to go back to a previous state” as in “revert the user rights to a software license.” In Indian English, it means, “I shall respond to you later.” The dictionary allows for both meanings, but it certainly confuses the listener. 4. “May I have a rubber?” my friend asked innocently. He meant to request a pencil eraser as he was filling out some forms. It was interpreted as “May I have a condom?” by his native English speaker colleague. I think I went overboard :) but your post is stimulating.
I have been following your videos and it has been helpful for me in my writing and reading as well. The pet peeves which I recall quickly are "can't able to understand", "Are you finished?" & "all of you all"
Hey! You are not just very good, you are Excellent. Makes me feel like going back to school and learn it all over again. I am sharing your video with all my friends. You are interestingly funny when it comes to correcting English .
I love your T-shirt. :D It would be perfect for me too because I always correct others grammar in my head when we talk. (Sometimes I accidentally said it out loud... :D ) And I love your content too. I am Hungarian so your videos help me to improve my English knowledge. :) Thank you :)
Things in English usage that annoy me the most are: 1. Writing "it's" to mean "its", "your" to mean "you're", and "loose" to mean "lose". 2. Not putting the last full stop in an abbreviation; for example, writing "U.S.A" instead of "U.S.A.". 3. Writing a singular noun after the phrase "one/some of the", as in "one of the best fruit" which should be written "one of the best fruits". 4. Pronouncing the word "the" as "thuh" before a vowel sound, as in "the apple" which should be pronounced as "thee apple".
Then you should be annoyed of those teachers who introduced us English in this way.. brother we r in India and not in England or Britain.. be patient about such things.. people are trying their best to improve...do u know, Indians are struggling with three types of English pronunciation/accent (1. British English, 2. American English, 3. Indian English)... nobody is perfect.. Neither u nor the(e) English nut..
I love your videos sir!!! This is what I've been looking for since my school days. Even in my college I couldn't find... I feel elated to listen to your videos. Keep rocking sir. God bless you 💐💐💐
I have shared your A-Z 'very' replacement video several times. Talking about the Math- English connection, I have used the application of 2 negatives making a positive to make some of my students understand that they cannot use two negatives in a sentence. For eg: There was not no one who came to help him x Another math application would be to take the common adjective (for 2 nouns) outside just like the common variable is taken out of the bracket. 😀
The word 'pain' does not take the gerund form but I hear many people say paining. I was corrected by a student who was learning to speak English from elementary level , not being able to take this in my stride I asked The teacher who has a profound knowledge on the subject and runs an English institute in Haridwar - Rana's Institute of English. I was given the same explanation that you mentioned in this Video. Many say I am having two children and many more such errors that are being understood correctly.
'My head is paining.' -- this is a commonly heard sentence in India. It's incorrect. The correct sentence: 'My head is hurting.' 'I am having two children.' - this is a grammatically valid sentence -- but only if the person is delivering 2 babies at that moment! :D
I'm glad to have come across your channel. You really know how and where to correct. There are tiny little things in English which needs some attention to make one sound good/excellent in the language. Thanks for the video. And, I see an artist in you, correct me if I'm wrong! The whole ambience of your channel is artistic and meticulously made. By the way, I'm a fan of Shashi Tharoor. He's such an inspiration. Loads of love and Best wishes.
Yet again with another mind-blowing content, here you are, entertaining a lot other English nuts watching your video. When it comes to sharing the pet peeves, OMG! there are so many! The most common ones I come across are with the pronunciation of 'rendezvous', 'restaurant' & 'environment', 'iron' etc., (where 'r' is stressed); confusion btwn 'there' n 'their', 'between' n 'among'; and the list goes on... And to be honest, today your language was also like that of Mr. Shashi Tharoor's, a bit hi funda, :-D. Love your videos sir, God bless, :-)
I THINK IT IS ALMOST LIKE REFINING THE LANGUAGE THAT IS UTMOST IMPORTANT. AND WE MOST OF THEM LAGGING BEHIND. IT IS THE GREAT WORT HAS BEEN TAKEN BY YOU.ALL THE BEST WISHES.
You seem to be in awe of Shahi Tharoor's English. His English can at times be ungrammatical and more often verbose. It certainly doesn't fall into the category of good English. He seeks and enjoys the limelight. He tends to believe that the art of English lies in using words and phrases less frequently used by others.
True. Although, the rules of grammar have been relaxed, frequent usage of coordinating conjunctions at the beginning of a sentence is frowned upon by many grammarians. And ⸮ Mr Tharoor is adept at flouting such rules.
It's not like people don't want to improve their English but the biggest obstacle is that instead of a curious approach to the language, most people unfortunately feel embarrassed and feel the pressure to get better at it ASAP when they're moving from rural to urban towns. Also, I feel it's much harder to get better at a language than at math because there's no set of formulae/logic that'd work in every case, so you just have to learn on the go as you use the language to communicate in your daily life. Then you get stuck on that plateau where your English is good enough for you to communicate and express your thoughts effectively, but you know the grammar/phrasing/pronunciation is incorrect, and no matter how many sites you visit online, it just starts seeming impossible to move beyond that plateau to become really good at the language. So apart from watching channel such as yours on UA-cam(love your content btw❤️), what else would you suggest one do to move beyond the plateau?
I was looking for the mawnk who buhreed his feraree...but then i got a kuff and had to flee... Informative and Entertaining...this is how teaching should be done.... Keep them rolling Sire.
Well... a lot to mention but I will tell few 1. Fantabulous... Either Fantastic or Fabulous... 2. Unless and Until 3. mere "in-laws" ghar aa rhe hain. 4. For some people, everything becomes "the best".... Undermining the uniqueness of "Superlatives" 5. Examinees should take the exam than giving it ...
Kudos to you. I really liked this channel as it is helping me to improve my spoken English. Initially I saw your video on 9GAG and then immediately created a What's app group with my friends, so that I could share and create a database of English learning.
Pet peeves: People using the past form of the verb after writing did and the second thing that really irritates me is use of two negatives in a phrase or a sentence.
Lovely..... I am no sure if you have already made this, if not, please do something about "I can't be able to...." or "can be able to...." and such wrong usages..
Good one ! We in India tend to make many mistakes which are unique to us, though English isn't our native language. My pet peeves are improper use of homonyms, such as using there instead of their, or were for where, etc. Also, the word 'prepone' is so used so frequently in India, that even Dr Shashi Tharoor had remarked that the word should be part of English. I prefer the British English over other dialects. I often find even news readers on TV speak grammatically incorrect English. Likewise, those who were educated in convent schools tend to speak grammatically incorrect English, though they feel it has a swag they can flaunt.
It's surprising how many Americans replace 'have' with 'of' in could've, should've and would've, making it could of, should of and would of. Goes to show why speaking along with reading and writing is the only way to gain mastery over a language!
I’ve recently came across your channel. It is helpful in a way u can’t imagine. I’ve suggested your channel to some of my friends and U know what they have also loved your content.
Nah! I don't get annoyed when people make mistakes, coz am myself on the journey of improvising my language by reading, watching English movies, etc.😁🙌
Hi The English Nut, It's my entirety to create a playlist where you teach about the basics of grammar otherwise you're improving our vocabulary simultaneously grammar! Thank you for that.

Is it a hundred times or hundred times?
I've read that book and it was great.
I'm an English Linguaphile. .a learning enthusiast.. Im simply loving it . Thanks English Nut.! 👍
One of my biggest pet peeves would be the subject verb disagreement in a sentence ! I find that extremely vexing!
This isn't fair. You should have millions of followers. The quality of your videos is brilliant. Good luck, mate.

I’d like to point out some peeves of mine when it comes to regional variances in usage.
1. “He freaked out.”
For a native speaker, it typically means, “He went berserk or became unreasonably angry/irrational.”
In Indian English, it is used to denote that “he had a wonderful time (as in a vacation, reunion or party)”. It is a positive connotation.
2. He passed out.”
This is typically used to mean “he graduated” in Indian English.
For native speakers, it means, “he fainted”.
3. I’ll revert (back).”
In North America, “to revert” means “to go back to a previous state” as in “revert the user rights to a software license.”
In Indian English, it means, “I shall respond to you later.”
The dictionary allows for both meanings, but it certainly confuses the listener.
4. “May I have a rubber?” my friend asked innocently. He meant to request a pencil eraser as he was filling out some forms.
It was interpreted as “May I have a condom?” by his native English speaker colleague.
I think I went overboard :) but your post is stimulating.
Hi. Thanks so much for taking the time to provide all these examples! Yes, asking for a rubber in the US can create a real mix up! :)
I'm glad You tube recommended this channel. The interview with Sashi Tharoor introduced me to this channel. Great content
So fortunate I discovered your channel. Your content is exactly what I was searching for.

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but all these are real words, correct?
Gosh! There's room for improving my vocabulary 😜
Thank you for yet another wonderful session, The English Nut👍
Feasting on your videos since youtube recommended your channel to me! I was craving for such stuff! Thank you very much for happening dude!
Hey thanks for the heart!😇
The alphabet-letter confusion is a major pet peeve for me. And I feel the quote on your t-shirt
I'm glad to have come across your channel. You really know how and where to correct. There are tiny little things in English which needs some attention to make one sound good/excellent in the language.

No words...... excellent... excellent....... God bless your efforts ....
Pet peeves: like this only, basically these two set of words and a word practically make me think of how to end the conversation ASAP.
Finally understood the difference between wedding and marriage. Thank you!
My favorite is using "irregardless" instead of "regardless".
Excellent vedio thanks

Some random person : It's very very Excellent
Excellent presentation 💖💖

Sir ur videos r excellent,I love watching them,I want to learn more and more
People in the comments' section have a way better company, whereas I am still struggling with guys around me using 'went' after 'didn't'.
