At least in British English, I may potentially say 'I met a cat'. This has a specific nuance in that I may have a special affinity with the cat, I absolutely wasn't expecting to meet the cat, or I interact with the cat for a longer period than expected. But yes, 99% of time, I would 'see a cat'. Additionally, when I went to the adoption centre, I met my cat, because the meeting was prearranged. I didn't randomly come across the cat.

[@fredylopez2477]

No matter all that stuff you said (texted) pal you never meet an animal, YOU SEE AN ANIMAL, IN ANY CASE YOU GET TO RUN INTO OR COME ACROSS AN ANIMAL. BUT NEVER MEET AN ANIMAL. I would say; I wanna SEE the cat that I'm gonna adopt.

[@ariszadoroshenko535]

I think you didn’t quite catch what Lucy’s video is about. I’ve been watching her for several years, and the point she’s making isn’t that you shouldn’t use those words at all, but rather that there are other words you can use instead, and so on. While watching the video, I was looking for what those words mean exactly and how they differ, etc., so…

[@annann2256]

Obviously Kevin never said that Lucy is not a professional teacher, he just explains to us that “very” “said” “thing” are good words and we should use these words.💚

[@lorenzograssi3637]

I'm sure Lucy was being sarcastic when she said not to use the words "said" "very" and "thing" anymore... she just meant they're overused by most non-native speakers, and it would be better to also know some alternatives. I really appreciate you guys' videos, and I think they're super valuable, but I don't understand what you have against her

I feel the point the first video by the pretty blonde was missed. It was not to teach basic textbook english to beginners but to encourage intermediate learners to speak with some flourish. Of course native speakers use very but it can be a crutch. Dont intensify everything with very. She also never says that it is a mistake but only that it is boring, which is a matter of taste.

I've heard the word orison several times. I know prayer is more common but don't tell people to avoid saying it, the fact that is not common for you does not make it wrong for others. Additionally, the content people watch on your channel must be at least intermediate-advanced level (if not, they wouldn't get anything you say), so words like orison might come in handy if one wants to sound fancy at a religious meeting. It is more likely we all here know what prayer is.

Lucy is a great British woman, someone says she's boring, in my opinion she's charismatic, and at one time she blew up the Internet. She works to attract the public, often using non-standard expressions. Marina is my compatriot, I envy her English with white envy, no wonder she makes a lot of mistakes, by the way she is also quite a charismatic woman. In Russian, I also often use non-standard phrases, for example. Вместо того чтобы сказать " как дела? " я могу сказать " как ваше ничего? " и т.д. в таком духе. But your content is definitely top-notch, because when I speak English, I try to be more active in expressions. Your channel is very suitable for this. Thanks for the powerful video.

[@fredylopez2477]

Yeah, that's a strategy some youtubers who teach English use to attract people including some native English teachers or speakers but that's a wrong strategy 'cause it tends to get subscribers confused when they're beginners and from my point of view those youtubers aren't responsible because they wanna make more money, they don't mind lying.

[@ralphotero8532]

There's nothing wrong with pronouncing the 'T" in the phrase "Why Wouldn't I be? .Yes, You would sound more natural not pronouncing it , however any time you divorce your pronunciation from the spelling of a word, so much the worse for your language. In the Spanish language spelling dictates pronunciation and articulation. That is why educated Spanish speakers seldom need subtitles when watching movies from other Spanish speaking countries. However If you live in The United States You would be better served by following Kevin and Liza's advice. I'm saying this because on one occasion one of my cousins was dating a Scottish young man at one family reunion in Florida. When this young man spoke ,none of us could understand a word he was saying. This is also the reason why Sean Connery had to take elocution lessons before he could become James Bond.
