Hi, I'm a linguist from Detroit. I thought your take on this project was really eloquent. :) Is it usual to call one's grandparents Mum and Dad? Did I mishear? Thanks!

[Drew11189]

@mondai34 "Mam" and "Dad"... I don't think it's a typical thing outside of Wales

[SchmidtP89]

Are you seriously suggesting the UK is a continent on its own? That's pretty much what you're saying at 0:23. In case you are, the UK is not a continent. It is part of Europe, which is barely a continent.

[Drew11189]

@SchmidtP89 If I suggested that the UK was its own continent, then I sure as hell wasn't paying attention in Geography lessons. Maybe you misunderstood what I said.

[shonda357]

@Drew11189 This was so hilarious to me!! the toilet, TPing, and sup bitches parts.. i was dieing!!... but where i'm at, believe me, there's 3 different ways to say toilet and it sounds nothing like the welsh way. I'm from alabama btw

[tayylmann]

[phism]

[BronwenDuMor]

@phism I don't know. Do all black people make gross generalisations from only one example?

Awesome. I am Lakota/Dakota and one of our tribes is called Miwatani. These people are the Mandans. Uniquely enough, our word for the Welsh People is also Miwatani. It means people of the long boat. Our word for the English People is Iyasica--They Talk Bad. I enjoyed hearing your accent. And I lived in Alabama. You said it correctly. LOL
