I think this video does a great job of demonstrating that native speakers of English make grammatical mistakes all the time. However, this video shows a prescriptive approach to language, whereas language teachers should be taking a descriptive approach. Language changes over time, and the native speakers as well as second language speakers influence those changes.

I teach English as a foreign language and those videos are a blessing for someone like me, especially because I teach adults.
But I'd like to ask: Could you please add the level someone needs in order to fully understand your videos? Something like elementary, Pre-intermediate, intermediate, advanced, etc.
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work :-)

I made their mistakes, too. In Britain Being a persistent listener, at first. Then some time later I quit doing that. Can you follow an example of a person /take after their mistakes? Idiomatically. I think you can.

There is nothing wrong with split infinitives. This is based on false comparisons with Latin grammar where the infinitive physically can't be split. Prescriptivist nonsense why are you teaching people this?

Split infinitive! now, who's going to tell Captain Kirk that to boldly go where no man has gone before isn't correct? On a more serious note: I love these lessons! They're super useful and funny, too!

Fortunately I could watch this lesson by Youtube, because the main page doesn't work. I've tried to open the page for hours but it is impossible.
