Watch the following comedy routine and give me your thoughts and how this relates to our Bible class in at least 50 words...due by Sunday 1/08/11 by midnight
I thought this routine was very funny and well-thought out. When he was first talking i was surprised when he said that today our average vocabulary is only 3,00 words, when in the 1700s it was 54,000 words. It was funny how the used the old language and mixed it with how we talk today. It made you laugh, but it also made me want to learn more words and expand my vocabulary.
The video and story was funny The guy was witty. It was neat when he talked about the vocabulary difference of now and then. It makes you wonder why our vocabulary has changed from 54,000 words to just 3,000 words. Its weird how so many things change including stories and how we tell them.
this video was pretty funny, but also informative. the difference between the vocabulary of those who lived in the 1700's and now is rediculous. this video makes me want to expand my vocabulary, mostly so i can talk funny though.
I thought this video was hilarious and very interesting I can't believe we onl use 3000 words but the difference between the vocabulary in hi story and the books such as Shakespeare is huge and he hit it right on the spot it was a really good joke and he is a very good comedian and it shows how we as people do not try any more we have become lazy short and don't want to take the time to speak as such
I thought this video was not very funny. It was clever but not very funny. He used very good examples but his deliver was a little weak .How it applies to our Bible class is that some things we discuss may not concern the person sitting next to you, in a way that topic doesn’t fit their lifestyle. And our language usage we can use Ebonics instead of saying the whole word.
i thought this video was actually funny. The comedian talks about the change in vocabulary in the 1700's compared to nowadays and how it has reduced drastically from 54,000 to 3,000. It also shows how stories were written then compared to how they are written now
I really enjoyed watching this video. It is very shocking and sad that in the 1700's people had approximately 54,000 words in their vocabulary and today, the 21st century, we only have 3,000 words. To me this makes America seem kind of dumb. I do understand some words such as: thou, hast, and words similar to that are not necessarily needed. I think this relates to our Bible class, in a way that people/the world changes. It evolves to the culture around it.
I thought the video was not funny, but it did teach an important lesson. The lesson was that in modern times we use less words to tell a story such as the Three Little Pigs versus back in the 1700s they used a whole dictionary to tell the same story.
man this taught me alot and how much i really need to learn i mean dang 3000 words vs 54000 dang i must be stupid. And even tho i dont like school alot it does show me why i must stay in school and learn what i can and do it for the benifit of God. I also thought the video was pretty funny evemn tho when he was talking like shakespere i didnt know half those words. But either way i liked the video
this was a pretty funny video. Even though he was trying to be funny, i think he was trying to teach a lesson. I think he was trying to say where america is headed. That we are becoming less and less interested in learning. Which can be very dangerous if it continues into the next generation
I thought this video was very funny and entertaining. I imagine that that speech took a lot of time to put together. I think it is astounding that back in the 1800s they knew 18 times more words than we know today.
