00:00I didn't want to call it the junk drawer, but I guess I am kind of going through something.
00:04Oh, are you? Are you really? I really am.
00:08I thought this was kind of funny. You guys ever heard of the UK quiz show Countdown?
00:12Yes. I've heard of it. I've never seen it, but I've heard of it.
00:15I think it might have been in the movie about a boy where he keeps going over to his house and they watch.
00:22I think that's Countdown they're watching.
00:23So anyhow, they have a resident lexicographer. Her name is Susie Dent.
00:29So, you know, words are exactly what she does for a living.
00:34She has testified to the effectiveness of lalocasia or the use of swearing to alleviate stress and frustration
00:43after discovering that her new book, which is called Word Perfect, was filled with typos.
00:50Are you kidding?
00:51No.
00:51It's actually a sort of subplot line of Louis Black in Inside Out.
00:56You know, he uses curse words to alleviate anger and he gets all pissed off and he gets the whole new panel at the end
01:01that instructs what the new curse words are going to be.
01:05Dent said that she had just found out the initial printing of Word Perfect,
01:08which is described by its publisher as a brilliant linguistic almanac,
01:12had been completed using an early version of the text.
01:14And apparently she took a look at the opening and it was just, she said,
01:20I opened it up and I saw there was something wrong in the acknowledgements and then I had to close it because I just felt sick.
01:27Thick.
01:28There are quite a few errors.
01:30I haven't counted them all and I really don't want to.
01:32So apparently they didn't go through the proper steps to get the typos done before they put it out,
01:39which was, they said, was pretty much stupid.
01:41My wife will just labor over things and she's a very good writer.
01:45She's really, you know, can, composes things and does a great job every time.
01:50And I always say to her, you know, I said,
01:52hon, you won't believe the amount of things I get from companies, from PR firms,
01:56promoting their clients or whatever to the show that have, that are just filled with misspellings and grammatical errors.
02:04It's just part of the deal.
02:05I misspell stuff in social media posts all the time.
02:11And I've thought I looked it over.
02:13You know what I mean?
02:14I thought I took a quick glance, but I will blatantly just put,
02:18or a word that is spelled correctly, but just doesn't make any sense being in that particular sentence.
02:23All of our birthday videos that you made us birthday is spelled wrong.
02:26No.
02:27Yes.
02:28Really?
02:28Yes.
02:29You switched the, you transposed the H and the T.
02:32You're kidding me.
02:33It's birthday.
02:34Happy birthday.
02:35All of them?
02:36Yeah.
02:37Sorry.
02:37No.
02:38You probably use the same slide over and over.
02:40Let me see.
02:41And you're just telling him now?
02:44Well, I actually said to Marissa, I was like, wait, can he, can you change that?
02:48It's spelled wrong.
02:49And she's like, the way it's done, I can't change it.
02:52No.
02:52Birthday.
02:53So we decided to just not say anything.
02:57Oh, also, you misspelled Miss Marissa's name.
03:00It's 1R1S.
03:03You know, you spelled it right in the description, 1R1S, but in the slide, it's Marissa's birthday video.
03:09How did I do that that many times in a row?
03:12I think you just copied it.
03:14You probably used the same template.
03:15Yeah.
03:16No.
03:17No, I didn't.
03:18No.
03:18Wait, you spelled it like that each time?
03:21I used this program called GIMP.
03:23Yeah, Nick's birthday video.
03:24Jesus Christ.
03:25I think I just type it in correctly.
03:28Oh, my God.
03:28And then I, and then I look at it, and I don't.
03:31Birthday.
03:35This just ruined my day.
03:36Oh, man.
03:37There you go.
03:38You know, it's a great.
03:38It ruined my day.
03:40There's a program that I think is awesome.
03:42It's Grammarly.
03:43I've mentioned it before.
03:44And you subscribe to it, and it gives everything you write the once-over.
03:49And it'll check for things like that.
03:51It'll check for grammar.
03:52It'll check for tone of what you're writing.
03:54It might even pick out a birthday.
03:57When did you get it?
03:58But wait a minute.
03:59Look, so in the description below the title, I wrote it properly.
04:04Why is it when I was making the thumbnail?
04:06By the way, thumbnails are a pain in the ass.
04:08They suck.
04:09Clearly.
04:09You suck.
04:10You stink.
04:11You spelled Marissa's name wrong up here, but you got it right down here.
04:21So, you know, you clearly know how to spell her name, and you know how to spell birthday.
04:24It's just a slip of the fingers.
04:26Birthday.
04:28You know what?
04:29Maybe people think that's sort of like a sweet little, look at him, kind of making fun of a way a guy would say birthday.
04:35It's your birthday.
04:35It's my birthday.
04:38Happy birthday.
04:39You got Casey, right?
04:40Oh, yeah.
04:40There you go.
04:41Casey's birthday video.
04:42I love him more than you.
04:44Got a jaboo?
04:45You got to spell that right?
04:46Fish?
04:46Yeah, see?
04:47You got some things right.
04:48Good job, buddy.
04:48You got some things right.
04:50I am the world's worst typist.
04:52I misspell stuff all the time.
04:55I mistype it all the time.
04:58It's just I'm not that great at typing.
05:00How many words a minute do you think you type with effectiveness?
05:03Is there a negative category?
05:06I know Kathy's really good, right?
05:08What do you type?
05:10How many words per minute?
05:10Oh, I have no idea.
05:11I don't know.
05:12But, yeah, I kind of stuck with it.
05:15Once I learned it, I was like, oh, this is way faster and way easier.
05:18But I don't think I've ever timed myself.
05:20Your typing teacher was like a playmate or something like that?
05:23A playboy playmate?
05:24The word was, yeah.
05:27Hence me being a lousy type.
05:29I was too busy looking at her cans.
