Some fallacies are especially difficult to notice unless one practices noticing them.

  • Do you fill a form out, or do you fill it in?? Great vids, just found your channel and I'm thoroughly enjoying this series on logical fallacies. I must point out though that the people of the UK (where I'm from) are regularly ridiculed (quite rightly!) by our European neighbours for our complete inability to speak anything other than English. But that's OK as we know that all you have to do is speak louder and more slowly and people will understand! ;o)

  • @CountSpanku1a Ah. If I'm not mistaken, it was we who taught you this.

  • And be these juggling fiends no more believed,

    That palter with us in a double sense;

    That keep the word of promise to our ear,

    And break it to our hope.

  • @jolly246 Hmm.

  • Great vids. Equivocation is defiantly the biggest hurdle in learning the English language. Its a double edged sword, as to understand the meaning you must know the context, but to know the context you must understand the meaning. This used to drive Spanish and Chinese friends of mine mad.

  • Well now, I don't know about Chinese, but Spanish equivocates on a few different words as well. It's not as bad as English, but it doesn't escape this problem unscathed. For one example, it equivocates on the word "no."
