Very interesting. Thanks In all languages, we have such mistakes that are regarded as correct and they are commonly used. In Farsi we call it "ghalate mostalah (غلط مصطلح)".

[@meowgli]

[@maridelacroix1998]

Great lesson, Adam! Thank you very much. Bono sings this expression "sleight of hands" in the song "With or Without you", but he pronounces it "slight". "Irregardless" is a new one for me. I had never heard it before. But ... "anyways" is very common in New York City. I learned to use this "mistake" there, and I have to confess that it's been a bit hard getting rid of it.

[@akunbaru2657]

Good explanation, thank you.

[@001ooo8]

Thank you, Adam. That's very helpful.

What are the 4 ways we can describe a noun?😊

Hi Adam lm form somaliy

[@sashole1]

Methinks "irregardless" comes from the confusion with its synonym "irrespective". To me, "irregardless" is utterly unacceptable since it makes no logical sense, just like "could care less".

[@sbdreamey]

"piece of mind" is usually uses when someone want to give their opinion on a certain topic, or they're just angry and really want to let it out.

[@medardbitangimana4580]

These mistakes are actually hilarious 🤣

[@muhmmadazad5668]

❤❤❤❤

[@Roero]

Also in Italian we experience the same issue on "couldn't care less" , i guess it's due to the fact the people are lazy and are keen on shortening the statements as they are widely understood anyway

[@bytefu]

Wow, I suddenly feel much better about my English. My primary sources of education in the language for the first decade was elementary and middle school (started learning at age 7, learned very little), then, for roughly another decade, video games with a dictionary, and in the last decade - first programming documentation and the Internet, then I gradually started watching movies and TV shows, but have only read less than a dozen books total. And I still knew the correct variants of most of the expressions, especially "self-deprecating". Took me measly 30 years to reach a decent proficiency level 😁 Jokes aside, I suspect it is much easier to learn English living in an English-speaking country, as opposed to Russia. And it is definitely easier, at least to me, to learn languages with a fully developed brain (that's a bold statement, isn't it).

[@jawakeducationalpoint281]

By the way, I like you the most amongst your other team members

[@juniorlopez1457]

Estoy harto de no saber Inglés por mucho que me esfuerce y si que me esfuerzo mucho, trato de escuchar músicas en Inglés, ver BBC News, CNN in English ver tutoriales, leer libros en Inglés pero aún así no fluyo no logro entender el Inglés hablado sólo el escrito ayuda porfavoooor

[@Howudoit777]

Please make subtitles in English 🙏

[@SaigonBrit]

Why do Americans (often) say 'I could care less'? It makes no sense at all.

[@ernestpetros6178]

Cuz 90% of Americans are illiterate.

[@bytefu]

I believe, EngVid is a Canadian enterprise, so I assume that Canadians are not much better at this :) I agree, it doesn't make any sense, but it's the same in my native language, Russian: most people learn many expressions like these from casual conversation and don't read many books. Now imagine how many mistakes the Chinese must do in their language, given that in their writing system, there is essentially no connection between phonetics and ideograms they write.

[@SaigonBrit]

@@bytefu Great point indeed. It's often about what people read versus what they hear. However, that doesn't excuse the mispronunciation of 'parmesan' (as in the Italian cheese) by most Americans (and some Brits!)

[@meowgli]

watch the vid😸💖

[@vivianagambetta9197]

Human beings are the same everywhere, in Latin America, it happens exactly the same with many expressions in Spanish
