@Nick Paul I know that. I wasn’t even trying to “sound smart”. To my knowledge, the alphabet was introduced to Europeans when the Roman Empire was everywhere. They kept using it, but I guess linguistic drift does some weird stuff. Sort of like how the Japanese were given the Chinese alphabet and the kanji aren’t pronounced the same most of the time. By the way, that was me trying to sound smart. I think I did a decent job.

[@evanrudibaugh8772]

​@@RobertMcBride-is-cool You're missing a fun part about Eastern European languages: Poland and Hungary are historically great friends. Sz in Hungarian is pronounced like English s. S in Hungarian is pronounced like English sh. S in Polish is pronounced like English s. Sz in Polish is pronounced like English sh. So, it's the complete reverse. Random add on: Polish is Slavic, of course, while Hungarian is non-Indo-European and is distantly related to Finish and Estonian.

It so fun watching your civ6 videos after I've actually gotten into the game now and actually know what's going on

I actually ordered Yorkshire tea because of your videos btw and I gotta say that some damn good tea m8

[@realevesparks]

The intro had me laughing so hard I almost spit out my coffee. I've been peeking out the window every thirty seconds since to make sure there are no red coats.

[@Voltsization]

Man. Everytime i start watching a Spiff video. My coffee turns to tea. I dont understand the exploit but iam fine with it.

[@anthonymartin5455]

*Sipping coffee when the tea conversion part comes up* "ugggggh..." *Slowly places coffee down*

When literally the first words of the video are, "nuclear bombs", you know it's going to be a good spiffing video.

liam orlandi ooo nice! What flavour ?

[@liamorlandi9141]

Ali S Well I like to mix them, but I prefer the citrusy stuff. Sprite, Mountain Dew, especially the latter in the context of morning beverages. Does that make me higher or lower than a coffee drinker?

[@Squiggy8440]

liam orlandi not sure, i drink all of them and like them equally. It depends on my current mood lol (edit, added a word)

Three rounds in your conversion chamber haven't broken me. Instead, I have evolved into a new being, one that mixes them together and adds cream. I will bring us the future my children. Even if it screams in unknown tongues, even if it begs for release, I will bring it to you.

[@jennifershay8980]

You are a truly cursed being. I watch you in pure childlike awe and yet in complete and utter terror. I am the moth, you are the flame. I fear and admire, adore and condemn you. You are a demon yet I look upon you as one would a god. You are brave, yet your bravery serves evil. I have but one way I can describe you... Absolute madlad.

My god, your voice. Please, just keep doing videos so I can listen to you for years to come.

I love how muscular you make Pécs sound by calling it pecks :D Pé is pronounced as the first half of the word pay, cs is pronounced as the last sound of switch

[@groinBlaster31]

Gábor Balogh so like the word page?

[@3v1lp1ngv1n]

@@groinBlaster31 similar, yes. but with the last sound of pretty much any word that ends with "tch". If page was a hungarian word it would be written like this: pédzs

1:18 exactly when i heard this i had just finished adding milk to my coffee. Sorry i don’t have any tea around right now.... Coffee and tea can co-exist. I enjoy drinking a nice cup of tea but i need my coffee or i’ll die from being tired.

28:59 - Pécs [ˈpʰe̞ɪʔtʃ] or /peɪtʃ/, try it with pronouncing 'page' but with 'T'challa's' 'ch' at the end.
