the rule is if the root word ends in E and the suffix starts with a vowel you remove the E but if the suffix does not start with a vowel you keep the E, also for doubling eg "swimming" if the last 3 letters of the root word eg "swim" go consonant, vowel, consonant and the suffix ends with a vowel then you double but if not eg "talking" is ALK so you do not double. THAT WAS A MOUTH FULL!
Love the english lessons, even I didn't know that...what was the last rule again that they taught the kids which even you didn't know about. I can't remember...
The only thing I can think of for the gesture is catching a football because one guy told me that the coach tells them to act like your catching boobs when the ball is coming your way.
another Jvlogger actually has a video that has the official (I think) japanese translation of Part of your world in the info box that maybe if there were unclear bits might help explaining if you had a translation for explaining........
It's funny to notice that sometimes it seems that the people you work with are willing to help you with almost anything, but at the times when "the system" fails there seems to be no flexibility (for example this case with lunch.)
lol yeah it's hard to not just say "that's the way it is". My JTE also says to me, "why is that?" or "that's right, isn't it?" And I'm like "uhh..... yep!"
The rules are taught in Grammer in the US. I am helping to home school my grandson (5th grade) and we are doing that now. I think we forget them, as I also memorized most words instead of the "rule." Gestures can be confusing. I never knew until recently that if you reverse your hand (palm facing yourself) when giving the peace sign in England, it is the same as the middle finger! Strange but true.
On a more random note, a few days ago I had a dream that while watching one of your videos, I saw you using the same schedule notebook that I use. I became overly excited about that for some reason, haha. :P
I'm taking classes on teaching English and it's so hard for everyone in class not to say, "uhm, that's just the way it is." Basically we learning the reasons why some things in English are the way they are when to us it's second nature. Those are really hard questions.

Poor kid must have been embarrassed about groping Meaphe's chest. LOL. I can see you covering up when he did that gesture.

I have a feeling some little smartass perv in the class changed the gesture from the "using keyboard" one to the "groping boobs" one on purpose.

@Cirris That is probably what happened. He had to know that we wouldn't have made "groping boobs" a potential gesture.

How I learned it in high school (Netherlands): when a word has three or more syllables, you put "more" in front of it instead of adding -er, -est.
