Small nitpick about the thumbnail, the clause “和你也会” might be slightly incorrect, as far as I know “和” is for objects on a list and not a conjunction between clauses, so I think “而” would be better suited to translate "and" . But hey, probably nobody else cares lol

If anything that’s even more of an absurd explanation lol

HER NAME IS DOLORES NOT LOLITA

This is one of the most based and respectable videos ive ever seen. Unfortunately i actually kinda liked the flag you made in the last 30 seconds of the video. I like plants and rivers

And with this, a (rather autistic) legend was born!

good video if i was your dad id say im proud of you

You went far too quickly over the point of *error vs. mistake* and the rest of your argument suffers for it

The problem with seal on a bedsheet is it usually fails to elicit pride. Because most people can't tell which one is theirs. They should at least be distinguishable

based

The autistic energy radiating from this channel is immense Liked and subscribed

Those vine booms startled me lmao

This is a wonderful video.

The issue with the "Different Dialects of the Same Language" example is that Cantonese speakers would say ngo5 gaa3 hei3 zin2 syun4 sak1 mun5 saai3 sin2. And the fact that it's Mandarin speakers claiming we're both speaking the same language when Cantonese speakers are probably the one who'd disagree with that claim the most. I'd also disagree with the entire premise based on the fact that I'm not doing linguistics literall all of the time. Sometimes you just want to be mad at kids these days merging velar codas into dental ones.

OK, so what sound actually is that symbol then?

Hear me out: welsh flag

What does he say?

The advantages of an alphabet are that it represents how you say the words, and ut requires very few symbols.

Minnesota's new flag could be made infinitely better by removing the light blue and just having a non-rectangular Minnesota-shaped flag

good flags are flags that look like flags of western europe, bad flags are every other flag.

Imo Kentucky’s flag should be Colonel Sanders

Meanwhile bats: ignore the limitations of the tidal breathing system and fly anyway

Another week another video without zzineohp speaking chinese god is good 🙏🙏

i do think it's still important for flags to be recognizable at a distance, as they are kinda sorta flown on flagpoles that are very tall and usually seen at a distance. Imagine the flags outside the UN but with american states, it'd just be a bunch of indistinguishable blue rectangles and a handfull that you actually know which state it is, hilarious. I think the problem stems from the fact that we've started using flag designs (and actual flags) for completely different things, we use them as banners and patches and whatnot, where the design criteria are very different. It'd be great if we could simply have different designs for different use-cases and stop calling everything a flag. Like with the seals on bedsheets, how about instead of using the seals for everything including the flag, or throwing the seal into the trash bin and designing a new flag to use for everything, you use the seal for patches and other things where the details are easily visible and make a new flag that is only used on flagpoles and maybe as a banner? Surely that's the best of both worlds?

Ultimately, there are two parts of how your brai works. The side that wants to make rational system based thoughts. And what your brain prosses ad good. Often, people believe these are the same thing (and they typically are). What you would describe as good and what you feel is good are two distinct things. Let your mind be open so you can see if a rule you hold is something you don't believe in.

ye but kentucky flag ugly :(

Abolish the colour orange! Justice for cyan!

As with most things, prescriptivism has its upsides, too, mainly for official communication (some people still interpret it as equaling to any written communication, though), where precise meanings and thus spellings, constructions etc matter. And it is more justifyable in some places and tounges than in others. In English? Not very much, as it is a mess anyhow as it currently stands, also forcing some unintuitive and actually non-native stuff onto its speakers, kinda same with French. But there are languages with way more consistency and for those, prescriptivism can help to codify this for the sakes mentioned above.

This is why we shouldn't have democracy. The peasants fear that they won't be able to recognise their flag anymore when it stops having the word Kentucky written on it in capital letters, so they have a rally around the flag effect around their unlovable old flag.

Prescriptivism is actually based I love gatekeeping and only the best neologisms (e.g. "based") deserve to survive. They should open the English language version of the Académie Française in Atlanta.

i dread everytime CGP Grey talked about flags cuz he clearly follows the bad flag good flag ideology flagship and it physically hurts how ugly his favorite flags are

CGP Grey: * takes off his glasses, hands shaking * "Everyone except Keitel, Jodl, Krebs and Burgdorf leave the room"

I was the designer of submission F58 in the Minnesota flag design contest, and honestly I'm still kinda salty about the flag the state went for. Like, I can respect how the new flag represents the state's shape, that is pretty clever and unique, but everything else about it is just bland as Hell, and honestly if my choice was between that flag and a seal on a bedsheet, I would probably choose the seal. But yeah, I broadly agree with you. There are lots of different official standards/regulations for flag design in different countries, and lots of different cultures for flag design and usage, and these should be studied and respected, instead of trying to force everyone into a sort of one-size-fits-all solution of three-color ultra-minimalism. That said, I'm not sure I'd agree with you that the sole purpose of a flag is to evoke a feeling of pride - all I'd really say is that the purpose of a flag depends on different factors, including how it's used and what impact it's supposed to have on whom. There's a lot I can say about this with regard to things like Norwegian municipal flags in particular, but it is nearly 5 AM somehow.

0:47 I'm fine with taking on Adam, but the IRS, no way!--Charlie Morningstar

The main problem for me with state flags is they ALL LOOK THE SAME. How are you supposed to feel patriotic for a flag that looks like ass, isn't recognizable, and looks like everyone else's flag!? Anyway fuck Minnesota's new flag it looks way too corporate, as if they made the least offensive flag possible.

but the states do have their own militaries. its the natty guard

Too right! The only thing I want prescribed, is a antiobiotic for my giant ear infection

‘The piranhas drank all my shampoo’ - I’m loving these example sentences

I don't really hear any sound in English that isn't aspirated? The example you gave at the end is aspirated both ways

Reupload this video, but use Portuguese as the indo-European language example instead of English and use a different Indo-European root.

At this point you are kinda just describing japanese but SVO

Sounds closer to the European branch of IE than the Indo-Iranian branch.

imagine he writes the rules down but deleted the video and a couple hundred later somebody finds the text with the rules and visits those places to find those "Prosian people"

yooooooo Poggers my prediction for tADC is finally accurate

Is Kurdish really a PIE language?

Counterpoint: "octopus" means "eigh-feet", so it appears the term "foot" is just not being used consistently between mollusk clades
