I Feel Good! Is That OK? Make Good an Adverb?

What promises to be my least popular Vlog ever, I present to you with "Should We Make Good an Adverb?" This video might be controversial if you happen to be an English Teacher. I'm really selling you on this one. I debated even posted this video. I think it is either too long, or kind of stupid.

Oh well, every video can't be a winner, especially when you are on a sworn November Silence. (I made a video called November Silence swearing off discussion of the presidential election results. Now that Barack Obama has won, I think it probably is less important that I remain silent, but I said I would and I've only got a couple of days to go.)

I've already got topics for me next two videos and they are considerably better ideas than this one was. It is a Sunday afternoon, so maybe Sunday afternoon is a good time for "B material." Anyway, anyone who made it through to the end of this video is a true fan and I appreciate you.

I'll try to avoid "Grammar Talk" in the future. Do we have a deal?

Last summer I did an experiment with using the word "sex" in the title of videos, and it indeed did work for getting a lot of empty views. I was thinking about experimenting with titles to attempt getting the least number of views. This may just be part of that experiment... but I was really thinking if I really didn't want to get views, I would title the video something like "Lecture notes, Exam Review." Who in their right mind would watch something like that without getting units for it? On top of it, the thumbnail would have to be really dark, or otherwise some frame that is in now way recognizable as anything interesting what-so-ever.

What the heck am I talking about?
Maybe because this video is so boring, more people will read this description. I should share some spicy details here... I just can't think of any right now.

That's it. Don't give up, don't unsubscribe... give me another chance! See you tomorrow?

Thanks for reading. Read all you want, I'll write more.

Excellent...now I can take my grammar nazi powers to the next level.

Very interesting. I was always told that it was improper to say. Even though I know I occasionally say something similar, I don't like the way it sounds.

[OhCurt]

Interesting question. Guessing here, but...

Perhaps the rules of grammar not changing despite words being added to the language is akin to it being feasible to add rooms to an existing house, although we wouldn't go underneath the house to alter the foundation, lest it topple on its side...?

Me like this video.

You done good.

I think it's more difficult because it changes the function of the word commonly known as opposed to stipulating a new definition for a new word. If we changed words just because some people use them incorrectly it would become increasingly more difficult to communicate. We already have slang making it tough, there's no need to add to it. lol

That is so sweet. I can see you are really trying not to talk about it. Good job.

[helilienthal]

Yes, it absolutely should be an adverb, you sir have interesting thoughts. I knew there was a reason why you are one of my favorite teachers from my youth.

[1liljet]

Thanks teach, sounds like an idea good to me.

Haha you ran around being a snob and you were wrong.I feel great!

I never thought of good as an adverb, but it makes sense.

[theloathlydaddy]
