• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of you guys. You've both been playing some videos at
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the moment. While I'm doing that.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: I'm watching because everyone's going on about Ariana Grande how
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: she's changed her voice for Glinda, and so there's an
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: interview where she's talking and then she's a la la
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: la la, and it completely changes halfway through. I mean,
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: she could talk over how she wants to do it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: She said the audio when she was acting in the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: younger Nickelodeon or Disney whatever it was where she first started,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and it was her voice.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Was very irritating what was the show? Friend know, she
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: was net Selena? What was Arias? It was Antress?
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I plugged the old computer and it is really.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: I have a soft spot for Arianna.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she looks cool. She's cool, she's.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Been through she's been through a lot in her.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Career, victorious.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: You're right, Yeah, And I met her and she could
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: not have been more nice.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So she was so sweet and it's fine, but she
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: can still have an annoying voice.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: We got an annoying voices that you're like, yeah, that's not perfect.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: What were you watching, Johnna?
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Were you watching a video?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Oh no, it was just a herald video. Yeah, it
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: was not interesting.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He so, yeah, more than fifty percent of the UK
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I couldn't get this basic grammar question correct, according to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know why the testing adults on gramdmar, because
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: grammar is very it can be confusing, right, But I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: want to read it out to you and see how
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you guys go on this as well. Okay, So, which
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: is the correct way to say the sentence grammatically? It
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: really has made the world of difference to William and I,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: or it really has made the world of difference to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: William and me.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Well, William and I, isn't it?
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: So I thought in this day and age it could
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: be both because it used to be William and I,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: but I thought they changed it so it could be either.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Now it made the world of difference to William and I.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So apparently the way you find out what's correct is
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you take the William out of it and then you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: work out of it still kind of makes sense. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it really has made the world of difference to I.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Doesn't make sense difference to me, apparently.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Would you say Ben and I?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I feel like, yeah, because when I always
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: got in trouble, my dad was a school teacher, so
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: he was very hot on stuff that no one else was.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going down the country and then I go,
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: you know, David and me are going to go with
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: David and I go over, Oh, all right.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: He's teaching every day pramatically.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: And correctives I when it is the subject of the sentence,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: and use me when it is the object of the sentence.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Sometimes I feel like for anyone learning, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: firstly English to start off with, there's a kid, but
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: also English is a second language.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Very yeah, it is when you look at stuff. Now
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you're like what that doesn't make any sense?
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then it changes and evolves too with checking.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: I wonder if other languages add new words all the
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: time we're adding the Oxford dextuaries, Like here's the nine
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: hundred new words of checked in this year. So there's
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: a lot of language to learn if we're checking nine
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: hundred to a thousand new words in a year. Lingo
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: and slang too. Then you go to different you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: you come to New Zealand and we are shocking, Yes,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: yearn that's computer throw people.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, do you have a word that you use?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yours is what's love? Your work, isn't it? That's a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: phrasing crutch.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It drives my wife and saying do you have anything
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that you'd use? Does it go to I used to say,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I say babes a lot? Oh yeah, so babes a lot?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Your babes?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know I type definitely a lot
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in my emails and I don't know that because every
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: time I can't spell it correctly and a red line number,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: we definitely needed to spell that wrong. So I know
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I use that a lot in email. Sense my kids
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: used basically they start every story so basically, and I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: just you just got a numb I'm a dad.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you can tell me, but don't have to.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Basically, you know, it's not basically what a complicated story
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: everything is.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: So basically here's the thing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: When it's writing, I always say ha ha ha a
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: lot oh yeah, or lots of exclamation marks.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: There, just to clarify that you're not being psychasic.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: That's what I try to do. Is that what you're
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: trying to?
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hah say something you like?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: You don't, you know, it's a very hard to get
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: you know that the way people mean things over text.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why you're right, ha was this?
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: What was this?
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Me?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Because the way you read something and the way you
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: intend it to be read.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that great key and peel skitch. Yeah you
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: need to see that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: We'll put a link cash he on our the hats
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Instagram. Very very funny. Have they sent each other text?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And just the way they can kind of misread a conversation.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Sarcasm a hard one to get across on email. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you can come across quite you know, quite blunt and raw.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Can we like I was only a joke?
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: So you do have to add the haha excavation marks,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: and I noticed gin zers do a good job of
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: having a dig but then adding a nice emoji at
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: the end.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I trying to cancel it all out with fun mate.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I used to be like real sarcastic, but I've tried
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: to turn it down because I don't think it's always
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: received very well.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: On email, just all the time, on general all the time.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It's a hard.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Gauge to know sometimes with humor, right, you know, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: at what point and how far can you go?
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Someone said I think it was a cameraman we went with.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He was like, it's a fine line between humor and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: hurting someone's feelings. Joke okay, And it really stuck with me.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And then you're like, what was the joke really make
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: someone feel?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: That's not you want? Is there anything that people say
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that annoys you?
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: There do you have again? Do you have a crucks
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that you would get annoyed at?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I I always feel like people say I couldn't be prouder,
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: but I think you're supposed to say I couldn't be
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: more proud always. I don't know why. I think the
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: proper English back in the day was I couldn't be
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: more proud of them.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: But you say I couldn't be prouder And you.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: What you don't like the word prouder, Well, I don't
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: think it's grammatically.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I couldn't be more proud of it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: To be prouder of that, I measure sports people would
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: say could be sorry. I would say I couldn't be
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: prouder of that more proud. Sports people are not worried
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: too much about the grammar. When people say your boy
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: or your girl. When I sometimes boy your girls, it
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: feels quite a personal connection that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: We maybe don't have. You say it's your boy. You know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: for me, maybe some people can pull it off. I can't.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's where it comes from.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: You should do some social videos that's your boy, your.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Boys, pant my water out.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: I don't think yeah, no one's suddenly seven social videos
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: with Hey, guys, it's your boy, it's your boy.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You you know, like if I say that, maybe it's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: because I can't pull it off.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe boy boy?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: What makes me go with Sometimes when people say it,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not but yeah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: You're not my boy?
• 7:41
