UK is the United Kingdom, Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland. State: UK, islands: Britain and Ireland. "British" and "Briton" are the odd ones though, because that means anyone from the UK or overseas territories. Though to be honest, GB and UK are almost interchangeable at this point, most of our souvenirs just use both quite liberally. Still, most people from each individual country within the UK have their own national pride for that country, for example myself and Scotland. Patriotism for the country, and for the UK

4:40 ... To answer your existential questions Rob: -Is what I perceive as blue actually orange to someone else? Probably not but the human brain is one mystery we haven't solved yet, so there is literally no way to tell. -Is gravity real? Yes but not in the way most people think, it's currently believed to be more a consequence of mass curving spacetime than a straight-up force pulling you down. and, most importantly -Why are we here? Well, although a defined purpose of existence is unlikely humans have a wonderful knack of finding meaning in most everything they do. Find contentment in watching a sunset? that's meaning. Enjoy playing video games or hanging out with your friends? That's meaning. The journey is more important than the destination and though we don't know where we're going meaning is to be found along the way, not at the end.

If something has form, it can be a shape, if it's shaped like an "X," most would be more likely to say "X shaped" rather than "a cross." If you said "draw a cross" a lower case "t" shape would usually be the first to come to mind. I don't care what they say, that is the "X" button.

[@GrahamChapman]

Incidentally, in the Scandinavian languages, there's actually a distinction between what a †-shape is called (kors) and what a x-shape is called (kryss) in addition to what the letter "X" is called (ex)... I'm not really sure what they call the button on the PS controller though so the point I should be making here is kinda lost. >.>

[@justmiah8294]

😂thank u so much

[@kikixchannel]

Funny thing being, every "X" is a cross, but not every cross is an "X". Yeah. It's one of those things in life where every something is something else but that something else is not always that original something (like every square being a rectangle but not every rectangle being a square). That being said, I always knew it was a cross (I mean, in my language it's being called "krzyżyk", meaning "little cross" by just about anyone, so I didn't have the option to get it wrong), but in English, it's still easier to call it "ex" than "cross".

[@FlameCatXVI]

Agreed, but even then, I always thought it was designed after the X in classic pirate maps; that's a shape, not a letter. X marks the spot

[@UltraSilver64]

Well, if "X" is Cross then we better tell every game developer that employ voice actors that they have to pronounce it as Cross whenever they do voiced tutorials in PlayStation games! 🤦‍♂️

[@monthc]

A cross is also a well-known piece of Western iconography. It would be almost understandable if Sony originally deemed it to be a cross, but it's frankly bizarre that a European branch of Sony would refer to it as a cross. An X on the other hand is also fairly iconic, but for different reasons...think X marks the spot. The button on the Switch joy con is much more of a cross, though even that I refer to as a Plus (or just Start because I can't get away from Start and Select no matter how much controller designers try to make me).

I always used to think that the item ether from many RPGs was pronounced “eh-thr” rather than “ee-thr” and it still blows my mind to this day.

To make it more confusing, there’s another word that is spelled similarly but is pronounced differently and has a different meaning! Aether (sometimes spelled ether) meaning an ethereal (sometimes spelled etherial) substance! Also, “ee-ther” is a chemical but there’s also a chemistry term pronounced “eh-thl” (spelled ethyl) that is a type of compound. Its confusing stuff! I still prefer to refer to the RPG item as “eh-thr” though to distinguish it cuz it is something different in the fictional context.

[@ariadneraynor]

6:45 Likely a holdover from Japanese. In a similar case, the game released in the west as Xenoblade Chronicles X was Xenoblade クロス (Cross), which was also the default name of the silent protagonist.

The problem with the "X" button being called that, probably stems from other consoles having *only* letters on their controllers. Most of them have A,B,Y, and X. And as far as the shape of the "X", well think about it: a treasure map would say "X marks the spot" and not "Cross marks the spot", and those are the same shape, normally, as they are on the PlayStation controller. Just a thought.

@@ag-bf3ty Every X is a cross, but not every cross is an X. Cross is a shape, and letters have a shape. It just so happens that the letter 'X' is a cross-shaped letter, just like o is a circle-shaped letter (but 'O' is an oval-shaped letter). And yeah, the 'X' on treasure maps is also a 'cross'. In other languages, no one would even think of calling it the letter 'X'. Blame the English language users being the most lazy with their language.

Also, to me, the X on the Playstation controller still only makes sense when called by the name of the letter. A cross is associated with a "t" shape. It would be like saying the square button should be called "diamond". Yes, turn a diamond shape on its side and it looks more like a square (especially if it was a fatter diamond), but it's how we associate some shapes and a diamond on its side will be a square (or more likely, a parallelogram). But it does make me wonder if anybody calls the circle an "O".

I rarely comment on KZbin videos....BUT was so in awe of the utter brilliance of "Loogabarooga" 😂😂😂😂 that I was compelled to come declare it! *Shao Khan voice* OUTSTANDING

[@JoshWalker]

Speaking as a huge fan of Rob's Friday Features, I think this was one of the funniest yet. The bit about British place names was absolutely hilarious. Loogabarooga. Amazing.

[@OfMechanismAndMatter]

The letter "i" has more of a "ee" pronunciation in Japanese, if I recall correctly.

[@mrpenguin2247]

Yup, the letter “i” has only the “ay” pronunciation in the English language as far as I’m aware. All other languages pronounce it “ehh” or “ee”. I mean only English speakers would call the island of Ibiza “aybeetha”

[@mnArqal93]

I've been learning Japanese, and I use to get caught out with the "i" and "ee" sounds at the start quite a lot. For example, you say words like tori and ni by using the "ee" sound. Words like sore and neko use the "eh" for the e. The Japanese Katakana for the "ee" sound looks like a capital i. Also, if you look at the IPA for English as well, the "ɪ" symbol (looks like a capital i) is for the "ee" sound. The "e" is a "eh" sound.

[@mnArqal93]

@@mrpenguin2247 The English language is great at spelling words (and names) completely different to how they sound. That's not including all the different ways each English speaking country says the same word.

[@behemothokun]

English is weird when it comes to vowels. Not just the i but also a. Mako, Zidane and other things that get butched all the time.

[@GigawattFox]

Speaking of FF7R, apparently I've been pronouncing Tseng's name wrong all this time. I had it as "Seng", rather than "Sung".

[@NeroMystyra]

Me too. That was a weird realization for me.

[@ShizzThe69kinG]

Same

[@fujitafunk]

Same. It’s a strange pronunciation too because it’s clearly based off Chinese romanization. If you see that spelling in Taiwan, it’s pronounced: “Zheng” or “Zhung.” In Cantonese it’s “Jaang.” This being based off the pronunciation of the actual character 曾. So I’m unsure where the “Sung” pronunciation comes from.

[@nicholasparent753]

Also, in Latin, the family cognomen Rufus means ‘red-haired’

[@Spootington]

Except FF7 is most definitely not Latin. Rufus has always been a blonde to me. Sure, it had some ludicrously high contrast back in the 90s but still a shade of blonde.

[@NikolitaNiko]

1) Canadian here! We also love our u's, although I admitted use American spellings most of the time. 2) I grew up learning Japanese so I knew the correct pronunciation and thus always used that. 3) Yep you're the only one. Sorry Rob! ;D 4) Interesting! I assumed they were. 5 I call it the letter anyways. 6) Knew this from the TV series before I played the game or read the books. 7) Yep I knew this, played the OG game. Hard to forget that blonde helmethead. Great video!

[@glennmattsonjr.5251]

I swear there’s a quest in blood and wine where roach talks and sounds like a male

[@remcokoning3448]

Thats right but Gerald also makes a refence to the fact that he "didn't think a mare would sound male" to wich the horse replies "you talked to a lot of horses then"

[@acidreighn]

ha!!

[@iainmackie1606]

Me when Rob called it cross. ANGERY. Rob explains it with geometry. Me who can't do maths. IMMA IGNORE THAT

[@jlw35cudvm]

Very clearly it’s his head! Doesn’t everyone have their initials on their foreheads? I can’t be the only one with a giant “J” there.

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Finally, someone else admits it! I'm tired of telling people that l'm not going Majin!

[@pipofla4784]

Haha, Rob talking about the spelling of Bloodbo(u)rne reminded me of a parent explaining something to their child for the 100th time - there is still the veneer of patience and good grace but you could sense the potential for the inherent anger to overcome it at any moment. Good video as always :)

[@Matty0289]

I sure hope Rob hasn't been having less or "FEWER" ideas than usual for Friday Features! These things are one of the highlights of every week for me!

[@KevMcGuire]

I’d say Rufus was “strawberry blonde” in the original. Then again I would say that, because so am I. Accentuated by the fact that I’m now overdue a haircut by 2 months!

[@garrettwilliams3816]

Actually Rufus was a whitish blonde in the movie advent children, so I guess the remake pretty much confirmed that canon.

[@thepetermullins]

On the Bloodborne front, I couldn't find guides for my favourite Yakuza side game because I was spelling it Judgement, not Judgment as it is spelt.

[@obsidianbutterfly8559]

With all the pronunciations I was waiting for Rob's smough, smuff, smoug...

[@Ghostly-00]

smough smuff smog smao smoo smo

[@deimosclay4298]

Gonna safely guess Rob never made it that far in Darks Souls

[@rai5169]

Hahaha, that opening act and Lugabaruga made my day. Thanks Rob & team PSA. 😄🍻

[@jdveit227]

Artax...... It still hurts all these years later

[@luuketaylor]

2:50 Did Rob just mispronounce "mispronunciation" on purpose? Hmm...

[@mzytryck]

I wondered that too. Glad I'm not the only one to notice.

[@uzairkarolia2157]

I believe it’s spelt misprununshiashion

[@HellGatyr]

Its miss pro in action

[@WeAreTheGangsterz]

I absolutely refuse to call it cross. Forever and always 'x'.

[@layzboi8908]

I thought it was Tidus like the 'Ti' in tidal wave going with trope of naming chracter after water, storms or earth . Sqaull for rain Cloud for rain Lightining for storm Terra for earth etc. Man was i thinking too hard 😅

[@shotgunz2008]

you were on the right track though

[@kingofbudokai]

Actually, the theme among 7, 8, 9, and 10 is that all 4 main characters have names referring to the sky. This was also done with "Sora" in KH, which means "sky". That said, Tidus having to do with water makes infinitely more sense, so i'm going to keep saying it that way forever no matter what.

[@g3neralrevan27]

That cortex reveal rocked my world too, Rob... I can't go back now

[@theodorepinnock1517]

The thing about the X button is that 'X' has come to be another name for the cross shape, rather than literally meaning the letter, so you can very much call it the X button.

[@silverbanshee7519]

Yeah, I mean, some of us actually call the holiday Xmas because of the association with the cross.

[@kingofham4287]

I refuse to believe it's called cross. I'm calling it 'X'

[@keyshawngreathouse3782]

Yeah, I heard playstation called it a coss before but I refuse to called it a cross too.

[@hugoluver123]

Also the game can be called x's and o's so I think I'm gonna keep calling it X. Also a cross is normally a t shape sooooo

[@kevinthatcher2376]

Push x sounds so much better then push cross.

[@johnherb4243]

I'm with you, always gonna call it x.

[@gamerostrich5358]

Oh for sure, been calling it x since a kid.

[@alexandrebombassei9092]

We brazilians call Circle, bolinha (little ball). Also, I may be mistaken, but I thing Agro is also female.

[@Skip2TheEnd]

I always thought Ico was “Eye-co” and Eiko (From FFIX) was pronounced “E-co”. DAMMIT JAPEUN! WHY YOU CONFUSE ME?!?

[@hathus5536]

Same here!

[@Glorfindelor]

What's confusing is the English language, how you spell it and pronounce it. It's not Japanese fault 😆

[@amyhoard1222]

What about Aries (US) vs Areith (Japan) or that it's M-ah-co not Make-o reactors in FF7...

[@Tiana_atr]

@@amyhoard1222 Those in particular are due to quirks of the Japanese language. Japanese has no "th" sound in it. "su" is the closest syllable they have and so could swing to Aeris or Aerith in English. It's like how 'r's and 'l's get mixed up because the r consonant is kind of a combination of both. Mah-ko is due to how japanese is a syllabry. You have 5 vowels that make up the base sounds: a (ah), i (ee), u (uu), e (eh), o (oh) and a set of consonants are added to the vowels to make up the rest of the syllables. Mako is because ma = mah. May-ko would be spelled meiko (the i extends the e syllable in this situation) Edit: This is also why its ee-co cause in japanese i makes a hard e sound And the character Eiko is ehh-ko cause the 'i' after the e extends the e's sound And theres your japanese lesson for the day

[@KickyFut]

I was going to say something similar... But @Atrus covered it pretty well!
