Er. Qi would do better if they mention the profusion of 'lah's we insert into the end of every other sentence. Or the way 'pariah' morphs into a word sort of distinct of that from the English usage (very different pronunciation, and I don't think there's as much a taboo behind the word in UK?) Layleo is just a bad, Chinese pronunciation of radio. Isn't really 'new English'.
Anyone notice how much more hair Rob B has now (and much, much thicker) than during this, two years ago, where he appears to be starting the advancing stages of hair loss.
I'm so proud I knew about the St-Augustin quiet reading thing. First time my literature studies come to a real use. Succeeding at QI is my main goal in life :D
I knew the answers to the St Ambrose question, the V1 and V2, and the origin of the word 'robot'. I could've won huge if I'd been on this episode. I'm rather shocked that none of them knew those answers, actually. I thought those were all well-known facts.
The big thing about reading to oneself is that text wasn't typically written with spaces in those days. That's why the "classical pronunciation" of Latin and Greek always use a hard C/Kappa and G/Gamma - each letter had to represent a sound since you couldn't read word-for-word like we do.
You konw taht meme in wihch the itrenal letetrs of wrods are mxeid up and msot peploe can sitll read tehm? It's raelly taht same sohrctut that ltes us read to orueslves easliy, and they didn't have it.
I dont understand why Stephen turns away in disgust, like it was something wrong.. When he's gay himself.. That's what cracked me up more than anything lol
I remember seeing this on a program called QI.
