      YVW. Glad you enjoyed it. :) p.s. If you like this video, you will probably like J Draper's other ones as well. I only discovered her channel a short while ago, and have been slowly working my way...

      p.s. If you like this video, you will probably like J Draper's other ones as well. I only discovered her channel a short while ago, and have been slowly working my way through them all. This one was a bit unique in focusing so much on language though. So if that's the part you found most interesting, you will probably enjoy RobWords more, since his focus is solely on language and etymology.
