Dans cette nouvelle vidéo de Rob Words s'intéresse aux points de ponctuation qui ne sont jamais rentrés dans les habitudes.
Il cite notamment "Plumons l'oiseau" de Hervé Bazin, qui proposait une simplification radicale de la transcription écrite de la langue française.
De quoi faire bien chier les conservateurs, et c'était en 1966 ;)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcPynSc1lyI

This is fun. Some very common English expressions come from the printing press!

Your body parts have mad literal meanings.
#RobWords
In this video, we take a tour of the body and discover the surprising true meanings of our names for body parts. Find out why some words are ancient, some are borrowed, and some are a lot weirder than they first appear. It's time for an etymological trip from your head to your toes, inside and out.

Danke für das Verlinken des brillanten #RobWords, @Exxo 🙏
Ja, die Grundidee war eine Rückkehr zu den jüdischen Namen. Aber dann wären Frauen immer noch unterrepräsentiert gewesen & es hätte sich die Frage nach der Repräsentanz weiterer Kulturen in der deutschen #Buchstabiertafel gestellt. Durch #Städtenamen ließen sich alle einbeziehen, mit Ausnahme von #Bremen auch alle Bundesländer. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/b-wie-berlin-babylon-preussen-und-der-fossile-faschismus/

I just learned that the word “hello” is a recent invention brought on by the invention of the telephone as a way to initiate a conversation. And the original sign off suggestion was not “goodbye” but “that is all”. I want to use that from now on. #RobWords

We, as writers, don’t want to write in clichés though we often speak in them. I think the most apt contemporary term for “cliché”, in reference to its origins, would be “snippet” though I doubt we’ll ever hear anyone say “Oh God. This story is so snippet.”. Just learning about the origin of the word. Fascinating stuff. #RobWords #WritingCommunity

Where did our numbers come from?
#RobWords
Why do our numbers look the way they look? Why do we count the way we count? These questions answered and many more in this video looking at where English got its numbering system.
