As I discussed in the original Spelling video, words spelled with a gh generally correspond
to Old English words that had a kind of guttural sound in them, often spelled in Old English
with an h or sometimes a g.
After the Old English period, the new Norman French scribes decided that using h that way
was confusing & so adopted the use of the gh letter combination to spell this very Germanic
sound that didn't exist in French.
But over the course of the Middle English period, that guttural sound began to disappear
from the English language, so that's why we have a bunch of words in Modern English,
like through & though, in which the gh is silent.
Some words that didn't originally have that guttural sound, like delight & sprightly,
began to be spelled as if they did by way of analogy, so delight as if it were related
to light.
& in some cases that can be useful for distinguishing homonyms such as sleigh & slay. & there a
few borrowed words like spaghetti & ghoul in which gh represents another foreign sound.
But what about words like laugh, rough, & cough in which the gh is pronounced f like an F-sound?
Well it turns out that there is a kind of connection between consonant sounds produced
at the back of the mouth & ones produced with the lips.
We already saw that a bit with words like Old English boga becoming Modern English bow.
It's actually a fairly common sound shift that happens in many languages, such as Latin
aqua meaning "water" becoming Romanian apa, with the k sound in aqua made at the
back of the mouth shifting forward in the mouth to the lips in apa.
Similar shifts can be found in other languages such as Irish, Albanian, Russian, & so forth.
Well, what happened in the case of words such as laugh & rough is another example of this
sound change called labial velar shift.
Let me unpack that.
Labial means with the lips, so labial sounds include sounds like p spelled p in English.
That's a bilabial stop, that is it's made by stopping the air flowing from your mouth
by putting both lips together.
Another labial sound we have is f usually spelled f in English.
It's a labiodental fricative, made by putting your top teeth against your bottom lip & only
partially closing off the passage of air, thus causing friction.
As for velar sounds, they're made at the velum or soft palate, that soft part of the
roof of your mouth towards the back.
So originally words like laugh & rough, pronounced in Old English as hlahhan & ruh had a velar
sound, specifically a velar fricative made by partially blocking the air by placing the
tongue close to the soft palate.
So the sound shift here is from one fricative to another, just moved forward in the mouth.
But why did the fricative move all the way forward in the mouth to the lips instead of
somewhere closer like further forward on the tongue?
Well there's good acoustic reasons why a velar fricative would become a labiodental
fricative.
The friction in both those sounds is well below four thousand cycles per second, whereas
for instance the s S-sound, also a fricative, is produced at four thousand cycles per second
& above.
So velar fricatives & labiodental fricatives sound more similar.
Acoustic similarity accounts for other shifts in fricatives too, such as the θ TH-sound
in words such as three or through, a dental fricative produced with the tongue & teeth,
becoming the labiodental fricative in some dialects of English & being pronounced as
fri: & fru:, which is viewer Unknown Ceilings's preferred pronunciation (somewhere around
London I'm guessing?).
Now in some cases, words that underwent this shift became respelled to more accurately
represent the sounds, as in the word dwarf, which was dweorg in Old English, & in the
case of the word draughtdraft you see both spellings, but for the most part the gh spellings
reflecting that older pronunciation became standardized & so we're stuck with them.
The thing is, the changes in pronunciation didn't happen at the same time in all parts
of England nor in the same way, & what we inherited in Modern English is a bit of a
mixed bag.
So the shift to the f sound was particular to northern dialects, & so we see some Middle
English spellings with the letter f in words not pronounced f in Modern English, such as
þof for though & þurf for through.
& in at least one case, the northern variant persisted, eventually becoming a separate
word.
Duff, a kind of steamed pudding, was originally just the northern pronunciation of the word
dough.
Oh, & you know how the word hiccup is sometimes spelled with a gh?
That just comes from the false etymological connection with the word cough—hiccup was
always pronounced with the p sound at
the end.

Fabulous Fixer Friday S1E1 @ 591 S Indian Trail, Palm Springs, CA - Duration: 4:27.
I'm in Warm Sands and today is Fabulous Fixer Friday, because I've just come upon a
mid 30s Spanish-Revival. Oh my gosh, it's a total train wreck, and it's incredible!
It's almost 2,500 square feet. It's got a pool, beautiful mountain views in the
background from the yard. Let me tell you, this house has so much character it puts
to shame any house I've ever redone. It's also in a lot better shape than a few of
the houses I've done. I got to show it to you. It'll go quickly, trust me on this.
Here we go! So you walk in and you have this large living room. Beautiful
fireplace at the other end. Mantle is gone. Who knows who took that away. Those
French doors lead out to the backyard. Not the original. I'd replace them easily.
This living room has a staircase at one end. You ascend it and catch this
peekaboo view of the living room fireplace down below. It's actually
really cool. Some details like this iron fixture. That's very cool. Glass door out
onto this patio. Now, this balcony slash patio overlooks your front yard and a portion
of the roof. You're looking east. Right here, that's the door into a guest suite.
This little hideaway is fantastic! It's got a private bath. Totally needs to be
redone. There's no question about that, but you've got a view overlooking the
backyard here. Again, sort of looking northeast. At this point, back out I'm
downstairs, and I'm heading into the dining area. Now, this looks really dark
and dreary. Not a big deal. Open this up, you'll get more light. Looking here out
onto the front porch. Totally sweet front door unlike anything you find in Palm
Springs, unless you're an Old Las Palmas or something. Kitchen. Most people are
gonna want to redo this completely. I like the details; I'm a bit of a
preservationist, so I might actually try and salvage some of this. And then you
come back out and you hook a left and now you're in the washroom area. This
goes out to a small patio. That's the door to the
garage. And then, over here, you come back and this was clearly domestic quarters.
Right? You had a live-in, because, right, in the Hollywood days, people would come
with their personal valet, maybe a housekeeper, a maid. Little bathroom here.
Again, perfect guest quarters, maybe an office or something. Come back out this
way--quickly now we're out where what would essentially be the master bath and
master bedroom. It's at the other end of the house. A large walk-in closet here.
Clearly it's what its purpose was. And the bathroom is kind of set up as a
jack-and-jill. You've got a door on one side and then you've got a door on
the other. Just catch a glimpse of the door, here. Here's the bathroom. Gut this.
There's nothing salvageable about it. And then there's this room. Now, I'm gonna
pause here, because that is a window that's been boarded-up. Open that back up.
Wow! I mean you've got a much brighter room. Now outside very quickly you can
see this is a perfect dining room / patio area. Outdoor living right there. It's
gorgeous! That room, by the way, I would make into a
bedroom or an office. This detailing on the pool is painted; it's not original. I
would get rid of it. But you can see you've got this expansive view of the
mountains from your backyard. People pay bazillions of dollars for that view. It's
incredible. That's it. If you have any interest in seeing, it call me right away.
This house will not go. It's listed at $575,000, I should say it WILL go quickly, not
that it won't go. All this is disclaimer stuff; you should read it, and then that's
it. Yeah. Take care.

(Fixed) Chinese reaction: President of South Korea "US military presence after unification!" - Duration: 6:32.
China's reaction:President of the sentence "If the unification of South and North Korea, US forces in Korea can be mainstream!" (Translated by google.com)
The president of the United States, who was visiting the United States at the United Nations General Assembly, said in an interview with the US FOX that there is a need to quickly announce the declaration of war, Chinese media reported.
In addition, he emphasized that the mainstream US forces are necessary for peace and stability in northern East Asia, and that the USFK mainstream should continue even if the two Koreas coincide.
The United States has been mainstream in Korea since 1953, and now has about 25,500 people. The ROK military wartime operational control is still held by the United States.
The president, who is a sentence, has given the position that the US military liquor issue is a separate issue not related to the declaration of war or the peace agreement.
It has functioned as a deterrent against the North until now, but in the future it should be mainstream in relation to the US global strategy.
North Korea has been demanding that the United States withdraw its troops from Korea and remove it from its nuclear umbrella.
Article Source: http://bit.ly/2zAewHP http://bit.ly/2zzs3zt http://bit.ly/2zzs3zt
China's reaction
Who needs to deal with China and Russia? His words can not match the peninsula.
I will never match them. If they match, they threaten the border of northeast China,
Mother, do you have any need to keep the US Army?
China should understand the spirit of Russia.
When a dog becomes an adult, it is still a dog. You can not change the nature of the dog.
Sentence Being is the younger brother of America! He listened to America! Indeed, reunification of the peninsula is not good for us.
The sentence person said that it was not possible to declare the end to the absence of participation of China ....
Political show
Will Korea still be sick in the colonies?
The president of a sovereign country hopes to keep the strategic interests of other countries in the world.
I really do not know what people in this country are thinking.
Unless China endorses it, it is difficult to achieve the unification of the Korean Peninsula, and if we do not respect the worries of China, we can only continue to divide and conquer.
It is possible if the United States withdraws from the Korean Peninsula and talks about the unification of Korea.
The peninsula is a sad existence, and it is important to properly deal with the relations between the great powers. Otherwise, it will be a cannon food.
Non-sovereign countries are like this.
Will the socialist North Korea and the capitalist Korea match? The purpose of Korea is to eat North Korea and match a peninsula in the name of South Korea.
This makes it easy to follow the mainstream of the US military.
There is no need for unification. As long as the two countries are friendly, it will be the happiest of the peninsula to rescue each other's development.
The old man is dreaming during the day. Did you ask to agree with Kim Jong Eun though you said this?
Sentence being is wrong. After the reunification, the US troops should be withdrawn, and North Korea should agree to it.
Comment from: http://bit.ly/2zzs3zt
Editing impressions (Japanese editor's thoughts)
This time I tried to hire Chinese reaction. There seems to be a strong opposition to the continuing USFK mainstream too.
On the one hand, the Chinese government has not shown any attitude toward this remark. What is the coordination between China and China?
What North and South Korea expect now is declaration of war and sanctions against North Korea. By dismantling the sanctions, South Korea can make the development of North Korea stand out.
The original North Korean attitude was denuclearization of the peninsula = USFK withdrawal, but it is said that the declaration of the end of the war has come to a great extent in order not to proceed.
The president, who is a sentence, speaks of Kim Jong Eun. If the two sides did not agree, this statement would not have come out.
In short, North and South want to get rid of sanctions regardless of what they do. For that, we must lecture all means that accept the United States.
One is to dismantle a nuclear facility or a launch pad to show the progress of denuclearization. Now there is a mobile launcher or a submarine, so you do not need a large launcher.
North Korea will have to stick to the election before the US election, and President Trump will wait for a period of irritation in his performance.
The Chinese government wants to be strongly involved in the declaration of the end of the war, but agrees that it wants to push forward sanctions.
I do not know what kind of communication is going to be going on between China and China, but it may be that China is continuing the mainstream of the USFK for the sanctions from the declaration of war.
The declaration of the end of the war and the unification of the two Koreas are not sets. It is also possible that the story of the USFK continuing mainstream will disappear when it is matched.
The Chinese government will also think deeply about this area. If it does not come out, it will repulse immediately.
I think that it is trying to accept the United States because it conspires especially because the north and the south hold the declaration of the end and the sanction.
For President Trump, this condition is too good for an appeal to the election.
Regardless, there has been a tremendous number of comments on this report. It is somewhat unpleasant that the reaction of the Chinese government does not exist anyway ....
Thank you for watching.

Courtney's Process in Becoming an Interpreter | Deaf and Hearing couple - Duration: 13:40.
Hi welcome back to our channel, ours meaning me and Zach who is not in this
video with me. Anyways I wanted to make a video for all of you who are asking
about my journey in becoming a sign language interpreter, how long it took me
to learn sign language, which I'm gonna answer right now, I'm still learning and
what my process look like, which I still feel like I'm on that journey and I will
always be on that journey. But I'll share with you what I have been through so far
So where should I start, some of you may have watched our first, second video
on how we met. I don't know why I keep feeling like
Zach is right here I'm just used to him being in the video with me but in that
video I talked about my first exposure to sign language I was about five years
old, my neighbor was deaf,
and I asked my mom if she knew any sign language. Fortunately she did, she knew
the alphabet and a few signs like eat and I don't remember what else she knew but she knew
a few basic signs, play maybe, and I remember talking with my neighbor, her
name was Emily and I fingerspelled a lot. She had taught me a few signs here and
there but I mean mostly we just played. We're like five years old we played tag,
hide-and-seek, there wasn't a lot of communication going back and forth but
we had a lot of fun together and that was my first exposure to sign language
and to someone who is deaf and hard of hearing. So remember we moved away when
I was about 7 years old and unfortunately I forgot pretty much
everything I learned. I still kind of knew the alphabet but if I'm being
honest I really didn't remember the alphabet I knew A and BC. I thought
this was D like most people but this is the is D, it was pretty bad. Going into college (I MEAN HIGH SCHOOL)
they offered Sign Language classes and I thought, hey I've heard about sign
language this sounds really cool and I took Spanish in middle school wasn't
that great at it and so I thought wow I'm gonna take sign language this is
gonna be great and I loved it. I didn't learn a lot about the culture but I did
learn a lot about the language and I fell in love with it. So when I was
getting ready to go to college my dad was asking and my mom what I wanted to
do and at that time I thought I wanted to be an elementary school teacher I
loved being with kids in the classroom, I loved seeing them develop and grow and
all that stuff but I also really loved sign language. I wanted to still learn
the language be involved in the culture so I was trying to figure out what that
would look like for me in regards to my career choice but I continued studying
to become an elementary school teacher I went to a community college just because
I still wasn't that sure what I wanted to do I thought it would be a safer
route for me. So I went to Long Beach City College near my home and I
re-took American sign language 1 & 2 with my mom. Even though I
learned it in high school I never really practiced it and so I didn't really know
how to use it but thought it would be good plus my mom and they wanted to
learn because I like Zach. So I took sign language again and I started to get
more involved within the Deaf community. There's a school called, California State
University Northridge and they used to have they still have these retreats it's
just a different name it used to be called silent weekend now it's called
the Deaf Studies retreat and so I remember going to that my first year and
it's this weekend getaway with Deaf people, signers, people involved in the Deaf
community and I loved it because at this retreat it's the first time ever where
it's just a group of people involved in the Deaf community, voices are off, you're
not supposed to talk at all. At that time I still don't really know a lot of
sign language so it was really challenging for me. The workshops I went
to were not interpreted so I missed a lot of information but it was such good
exposure for me to be immersed within the Deaf community in the Deaf culture
and I loved it and at that point I knew okay as much as I love children
I love the Deaf community. I love Deaf culture. I want to be involved in
this for the rest of my life. I felt really the way to do that was to become
an interpreter and so coming back from that retreat I spoke with my advisor at
Long Beach City I said okay, I know I wanted to do Liberal Studies but I'm
thinking about changing majors I heard that California State University
Northridge, CSUN, offers an interpreting program I would love to be able to
transfer there one day what do I need to do? So I took the classes I need to
take at Long Beach City, general ed and the more I talked to Deaf people and
other interpreters they all kept saying the same thing, get involved in the Deaf
community, get involved in the Deaf community, get involved in the Deaf
community. I think that's what I'm going to
tell everybody else who's watching this video, get involved in the Deaf community.
I did take, I mean I took a lot of sign language classes... I went to
another Community College El Camino and I took American Sign Language 2
again there they had a different Deaf teacher and I really wanted to be in her
class I heard she was an amazing teacher. I took ASL 3 there. I took Deaf
culture there which was all great and I learned a lot but really being involved
in the Deaf community was the best and that's really again why I wanted to
become an interpreter was to be involved in the Deaf community. So I feel like
that's where I really learned the language, that's where I understood it
that's where I was able to practice it and really just get connected with
people. And that's what I love, I love connecting with other people.
I moved up to Cal State... well I moved up.... this is why I prefer signing because I
stutter a little bit less. haha I moved up to Northridge which is an hour and a half
away from where I live and I actually didn't go to Northridge at first I went
to another Community College, Pierce College and I continued to take ASL 5
there and a few other courses just for a short time before I transferred over to
CSUN.I transfered over to CSUN finally in 2014
yeah 2014, and I applied for their interpreting program. I was so
nervous, obviously we all compare ourselves... and so I'm looking at the other
students who are applying and like wow their signing is so beautiful. I love
their hands like their fingers. It's so weird when you interpret or when you're
involved you just look at people's fingers and you're like wow they sign
so beautiful. We're all a little insecure, maybe not, but I definitely was
and can still be definitely insecure about my signing. So I remember just
being really nervous, I was talking to Zach and my other friends, I applied
super late, I was like I'm not going to get in, there's no point but I'm
really lucky to have people who pushed me and said you can do it, just give it a shot,
believe in yourself. So I did and fortunately enough, I got into the
interpreting program and that's, I mean, I am super grateful for that program.
I feel like that's really where I got to look at the language and dissect it
and figure it out. Then figure out how to interpret it, because
it's one thing to know how to sign and it's a totally other thing to learn how
to interpret because there's so much going on while you're processing
everything while you're taking one language and then putting it into
another language and making sure they're equivalent and makes sense and they
match the consumer it's just it's crazy how much goes on in the brain while
that's happening. I learned so much that I never thought I would learn. It
was, it was intense and amazing and great I loved all of my professors,
Cole, Allisun, Cass, and even all my other professors before that, I mean I
learned so much from them. I'm truly really grateful for all of
them. On top of that being involved in that program and finally being at
CSUN I got more involved within the Deaf community, I went to more Deaf events
Deaf Starbucks. I went to the Deaf Studies retreats and again...
My professors and the Deaf community is really the reason why I'm an
interpreter today. I've really learned so much from them and the Deaf community
has been continuously patient with me and all my errors and you know I'm not
being clear I'm signing too slow or I'm just not making any sense but really
teaching me and correcting me and helping me grow and learn about their
culture and their language and their community and you know it's something
that I really treasure and I'm really grateful for. So for any of you who are
watching who have been involved in my process and
I'm at today I'm really grateful for all of you and all you continue to do for me
and I continue to teach me. Anyways, so I went through that program
which was pretty rigorous but exactly what I needed. Right before graduation
actually a few months, I heard about this program in Utah called VRSII, School
to work, and I decided to apply. I was also again very nervous and insecure,
wondering am I going to get accepted? I'm good enough? This program
focused on is helping graduates transition from being a student and
going into the professional world knowing how to network, knowing how to
use the skills they learned in their field of work, obviously for interpreting
So in this program we focused a lot on medical interpreting, VRS interpreting.
educational interpreting, post-secondary interpreting, a little bit on legal
interpreting, mental health all the different fields, we were able to practice
and have a safe environment with another interpreter in these settings with us
and have the Deaf person be able to give us feedback on our work. Which I think
was so great to be able to have the Deaf person's feedback since that's really
who were working for, for the rest of our lives as well as the hearing people's
who were interpreter for both, both parties but I really loved that program
because I was able to really go deeper into my work and assess my work and put
it into practice and assess it and then put it back into practice again and
improve within each time. So after that program, I applied at Sorenson, that
program is actually through Sorensen it's like this internship and so I had a
little taste of what that looks like working in VRS setting. I applied for
Sorensen and I also applied to work at CSUN and since then I've been working at
both places for the past two years and I absolutely love both of my jobs. I
definitely feel like I'm still on my journey,
just like we've taken English classes you know elementary through college we
had to take English, the reason is because English is always changing
language is always changing. So I don't feel like my journey will ever end
I'll always be constantly learning new things, learning new lingo,
learning new slang, continuing to develop myself as a
professional but anyways I hope this helped you if you have any other
questions feel free to leave it in the comment send us some messages on
Instagram if you're a little bit more personal and yeah I think if I you know
have any advice again it's to get involved in the Deaf community, don't
compare yourself but compare yourself at the same time like don't compare
yourself and say that oh I suck, I can't do it, I'm not good enough, but think wow,
like okay that person has strengths that I don't have, I want to learn that, how
can I learn from them. And I have strengths that that person may not have
how can I help them as well rather than just comparing and feeling defeated and
discouraged, continue to work on it, don't give up, get involved in the community
ask questions, ask for help, and just be humble, always. Always be humble in your
process in becoming an interpreter and being a human it's just, you can't go
wrong with being humble. So again for any of you who are watching this video who
have been a part of my process I want to say thank you again because without you
I wouldn't be where I am in my profession today but I hope this video
was helpful.

WHAT IS #OWNVOICES? | THE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES | DIVERSITY 101 | xreadingsolacex [CC] - Duration: 12:44.
Hello you gorgeous individuals, it's Kav here and welcome back to episode three of
Diversity 101. If you're new here, Diversity 101 is a series I run on my
channel where I kind of break down some of the basics of diversity and diversity-
related topics and make specific videos dedicated to conversations about those
topics. So I have two previous videos the first one is titled: 'What is Diversity?'
It's basically an introduction to the series and it focuses on what the terms
diversity and representation mean and the difference between the two. And then
I have a second video that I made earlier this summer that's about
diversity within the book reader and reviewer community and how to support
content creators from marginalized backgrounds. Now this third episode is
dedicated to the ownvoices movement - the term ownvoices, what it means, why
it's important, and the positives and negatives of this term because it's a
term that gets thrown around a lot and it's something people involved in this
part of the book community talk about a lot, but I think sometimes we need to
step back and actually take a look at what term we are throwing out there, what
word we're using, and what it actually means, so that's what I wanted to discuss
today. So without further ado, let's get started.
So the term ownvoices started as a twitter hashtag that was coined by a
sci-fi author named Corinne Duyvis who created the term in September of 2015
when certain important discussions were being had. She coined this term in order
to "recommend kidlit about diverse characters written by authors from the
same diverse group" and those are exact words that I pulled from her exact tweet.
So since then the term has kind of taken on a life of its own and gets used a lot,
specifically in many book twitter discussions, it's kind of just grown and
become something bigger than it started out as. So what does the term ownvoices
really mean? The term ownvoices means that the content creator or the reviewer
in question shares the same identity as the marginalized character they are
creating or reviewing. For example, a book like When Dimple Met Rishi is ownvoices for
Indian-American representation because the author, Sandhya Menon, is Indian-
American herself, so she shares the same identity as the two main characters,
Dimple Shah and Rishi Patel. This is true of many different pieces of work,
that was just the first one that came to my mind because the book is right there
on my bookshelf, but there are many, many different pieces of media and literature
that share this same ownvoices representation either on the author's side,
as the author or content creator created this character, or on the reviewer's side
meaning that the reviewer shares the same identity as the character they're
reviewing. For example I am an ownvoices reviewer of When Dimple Met Rishi because
I myself am also Indian-American, so I share the same identity as Dimple Shah
and Rishi Patel. So you might be wondering why is this important? Why do we care
about this? why does this matter? The reason this matters is that for a
long time and even still today, the stories of marginalized people haven't
been falling into the hands of marginalized people. They haven't been in
control of the people who have truly lived these experiences and who truly know
and understand these experiences. That's not to say that non-ownvoices work can
never exist. Non-ownvoices work can exist and I will get to that later and
talk about how it can be done well because some of the best forms of
representation out there for some people are through non-ownvoices work and that is
valid and that is important and that is just as necessary,
so I'm not here to dis all non-ownvoices work. I'm here to discuss the fact
that this label does exist for a reason and it is important for a reason. So in
my first Diversity 101 video I spent a long time discussing the difference
between diversity and representation because there is a difference. And a lot
of times with ownvoices work you get the most authentic form of
representation you can get because you're getting the representation from
someone who truly knows what they're talking about because what they're
talking about is their own experience and when it's an identity that does not
get shared a lot, that does not get represented a lot, it's kind of crucial
that it be done well because so little of that representation exists. And like I
said, this doesn't mean that non-ownvoices representation isn't important
because it is still important and it is still necessary. For example, Simon vs.
the Homosapiens Agenda is one of the most widely adored books featuring a gay
main character, but it's written by an author who identifies as straight. And
that doesn't change the fact that that book is still good representation and
it's been so accessible to so many queer readers and the fact that it's
important to such a wide queer audience. That doesn't erase that in any which way.
The thing is, the content creator has to, one, take the time to do the
representation properly - you have to spend time doing research, you have to
spend time actually learning about that identity and making sure you represent
that well. And then you have to consult sensitivity readers, that is so important
to representing a non-ownvoices identity - you need sensitivity readers.
And if a content creator truly cares and they're creating that character for the
right reason, then you know what, they can as long as they make the judgment call
that it's okay for them to write that voice. The fact of the matter is that in
publishing and in media there are only so many slots that are given to
characters of marginalized identities and that sucks. And if we could have
books by ownvoices and non-ownvoices creators alike and we could just fill the
shelves with them, then this wouldn't be as big of a problem. But, right now, with
where we're at in this process there are still only a certain number of slots
given to characters of marginalized identities and you have to consider if
you are taking that slot from someone else. If you think that it's okay for you
to write that story, you can be the judge of that. But if you think that maybe that
slot deserves to go to a content creator who actually comes from that identity
and who would be able to represent that better, then you know what, maybe that's
the call you need to make and you need to write a different story. I'm not gonna
sit here and pretend that it's my job to make that call for you, it' s not. It's a
personal thing - you have to reflect on whether or not you think that that
identity is one you should be writing and sometimes it is and sometimes it's
not and you need to make that decision for yourself. It's really just dependent
on the time and the person and the story they're writing - you have to consider
whether it's okay for you to tell it. That being said, whereas I do want to
discuss all of the positives that come with the label ownvoices and the power
it does have, we also do have to acknowledge that there are some
negatives that come with it. The first one which is a big one is the pressure
that comes from ownvoices content creators and reviewers to get everything
absolutely perfect. Earlier in this video I mentioned that it's important that
representation of people with marginalized identities be done well
because sometimes that's the only representation that certain teens and
media consumers have access to. But that being said, no one group of people is
ever a monolith. I have said this many times in my videos because it is so true -
we do not all have the exact same experience with our identities, there are
differences, there are nuances to that and no one piece of media can represent
everyone accurately and that's okay. Because something not representing you
accurately doesn't necessarily make it bad representation. Whereas I think that
a lot of times we need to have a more in-depth conversation about what that
means and how to differentiate the two, I don't have time for all the nitty gritty-ness
of that conversation in this video, but I do want to acknowledge that just
because something might not represent you 100% accurately, it doesn't
necessarily make it bad representation and that's a habit a lot of readers and
reviewers and such fall into sometimes. And here's an example - the book Love, Hate,
and Other Filters by Samira Ahmed has ownvoices Indian-American representation.
Now I loved that book, I gave it five out of five stars, but that being said - the
representation of the Indian-American main character, Maya, did not reflect my
experience at all. She had a completely different experience
than me, but I knew that that didn't make it bad representation. It was still good
representation and that will be so accessible to a different Indian-
American teen somewhere who'll say 'oh that represents my exact experience'
because two people can have a different experience and that's not a bad thing.
And the author wrote her experience and she wrote authentically from her
background and whatever she's experienced and it's not my place to
call that bad representation. So just because something doesn't represent you
doesn't automatically make it bad and problematic. And terms like ownvoices
and problematic are terms we throw around a lot oftentimes without actually
considering what they mean and I think we need to be mindful of the labels
we're throwing on stuff and considering whether it's actually important and
whether it's actually accurate. And that pressure also exists on the other side.
Oftentimes ownvoices reviewers are pressured to find every single aspect of
a book or movie or TV show that might not be perfect, that might be problematic.
Putting that kind of pressure on a reviewer is completely unfair. As someone
who cares so greatly about diversity and representation in media, I try to read
books as critically as I can and watch media as critically as I can and
consider whether representation is being done well, but you cannot put that kind
of pressure on one or two reviewers and expect them to find every single flaw.
That same pressure is not put on privileged reviewers and I'm not saying
I want it to be put on privileged reviewers because they don't deserve
that either, but no party should have that kind of pressure put on them. We
should acknowledge that most people are doing their best to read and consume
media with that kind of critical eye and consider when things might not be done
well, but no one person can figure out every single problem one piece of media
or one piece of literature has. I think it's important that people do get
a warning if representation is going to be bad or harmful for them because that
kind of stuff can be triggering and harmful to people and no one deserves
that, but that shouldn't be done at the cost of another reviewer. I think that we
just need to be considerate about how much we expect from people because a lot
of times people are doing their best and just like I'm not perfect and you are
not perfect, no other author or reviewer is going to be and I think that
sometimes we do need to cut people a little bit of
slack. The other biggest criticism that comes with the ownvoices term exists
mainly in terms of queer representation but it can exist in terms of other forms
of representation and that's that some authors or reviewers might not be out.
And that is definitely true and that's something I've tried to be more mindful
of when I describe books that might not necessarily be ownvoices because I
don't always know how the author identifies because just because an
author might not be out as not cis or not straight, I can't make that blanket
statement to other people. And that's not to say that just because something might
be ownvoices that means that it has to be perfect because ownvoices
representation can be harmful as well, but it's more, I think, the rush to
categorize this book as completely not ownvoices, the author is straight because we
don't always know. And I try to word it more so I say 'this author, as far as I
know, is straight' or 'this author, to my knowledge, has not come out as anything
other than straight,' but just because someone hasn't come out that doesn't
make the default straight, and that's a different conversation about defaulting
to cis and straight, but that's also another thing we need to acknowledge
that we don't always know everyone's exact identity. We don't always know their
religion or their sexuality or some parts of their identity and we can't
always rush judgment, and I'm not saying I haven't been guilty of it because I
have to, but it's something I'm trying to be more mindful of going forward and
consider that there might be parts of the story we don't know yet. But those
negatives being said, there are also positives to the term ownvoices. It gives
authors and content creators and reviewers with the same identity as
their marginalized character a term to hold on to, a term to show that 'hey, I
wrote this from my own experience' or 'I read this from my own experience.' It
gives a term to describe an important part of a representation experience. You
know, and in my journey of reading and consuming a lot of media, I've found that a
lot of times ownvoices representation has an authenticity to it that non-own
voices representation doesn't always give. There is an authentic
feel that comes. Specifically in representation of people of color, I've
seen that that is very, very prevalent because there are so many intricate
details when you come from another culture and a lot of times if you
haven't lived that experience it's hard to get all of that down on the page and
I find that ownvoices content creators have a much easier time of doing that. So
there are also positives to this term and I think that we in this community
and me included obviously just need to start using the term ownvoices for what
it is and consider that it does have power, but not give it too much power and
not make it the end-all be-all. Just consider that it's a term used to
describe an important part of the representation experience, but that it's
not the end-all be-all and that it shouldn't be the only thing we focus on,
it's just an important contributor. So, that's my two cents on the term own
voices and I'm very interested in hearing what you guys have to say. You
know, this is a relatively new term that's just kind of grown and evolved
into something bigger and not always better.
So what do you think about the term? Let me know in the comments below because I
am interested to continue this discussion and hear your guys' thoughts
as well as that's part of the reason I am doing this series. Thank you all so
much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video - if you did, please give it a
like and subscribe because that stuff makes me happy. And as I said, comment down
below and let me know more of your thoughts, so we can continue having an
important discussion. And that is all. Thank you all so much for watching. I hope
you're having a lovely day or night at wherever you are.
Please remember that you are beautiful and you deserve the world and I will see
you soon for a brand new video. Goodbye!

A story that doesn't reach the eyes.
Additional Memory
In suspension
An endroll met while tumbling down
In distortion
A revolving lantern of a completely changed future
It's already over
The daydreams the curtains fell upon
I did nothing but blur out the voids
It makes me remember
The sunset sky, the spreading melody
『Let's go back,
so we don't take the wrong path.』
Be cowardly,
Be cowardly, and that hand holding tight:
Leave it in the air
It makes me embrace,
It makes me wish
The extravagant revolving lantern
Beyond the evening calm,
Light up the red that admits (writes) my love
Passing by,
Passing by, Rotting by
The true feeling that dissolved away
A story that denies existential proof
「See you tomorrow」or things like that,
things I didn't want to say
Tears that can't be wiped off,
Tears that can't be wiped off, and the words,
All lies, all lies
Friends or anything like that,
I didn't want us to be
I'm sure these won't reach you.
I'm sorry, I love you
If this was the wrong idea,
I didn't want to know
The overflowing tears are soaked into the sky
Even though I can't return anymore,
Even though I can't return anymore, Even though I can't go back anymore
Now it only aches,
it became upside-down.
Falling,
realizing,
the revolving lantern was disappearing
Beyond the evening glow,
Beyond the evening glow, Poems of regret dyed the heart
Don't erase them,
Remember them,
the real feelings I left behind
A story that denies「Happiness」
Being something like friends
I didn't want to end it at that
Tears that will not reach,
are soaked into the sky
Even if this was the wrong idea,
Even if this was the wrong idea, even if this was the wrong idea
I've always wanted to say
Goodbye, I love you.

(Fixed) Chinese reaction: President of South Korea "US military presence after unification!" - Duration: 6:32.
China's reaction:President of the sentence "If the unification of South and North Korea, US forces in Korea can be mainstream!" (Translated by google.com)
The president of the United States, who was visiting the United States at the United Nations General Assembly, said in an interview with the US FOX that there is a need to quickly announce the declaration of war, Chinese media reported.
In addition, he emphasized that the mainstream US forces are necessary for peace and stability in northern East Asia, and that the USFK mainstream should continue even if the two Koreas coincide.
The United States has been mainstream in Korea since 1953, and now has about 25,500 people. The ROK military wartime operational control is still held by the United States.
The president, who is a sentence, has given the position that the US military liquor issue is a separate issue not related to the declaration of war or the peace agreement.
It has functioned as a deterrent against the North until now, but in the future it should be mainstream in relation to the US global strategy.
North Korea has been demanding that the United States withdraw its troops from Korea and remove it from its nuclear umbrella.
Article Source: http://bit.ly/2zAewHP http://bit.ly/2zzs3zt http://bit.ly/2zzs3zt
China's reaction
Who needs to deal with China and Russia? His words can not match the peninsula.
I will never match them. If they match, they threaten the border of northeast China,
Mother, do you have any need to keep the US Army?
China should understand the spirit of Russia.
When a dog becomes an adult, it is still a dog. You can not change the nature of the dog.
Sentence Being is the younger brother of America! He listened to America! Indeed, reunification of the peninsula is not good for us.
The sentence person said that it was not possible to declare the end to the absence of participation of China ....
Political show
Will Korea still be sick in the colonies?
The president of a sovereign country hopes to keep the strategic interests of other countries in the world.
I really do not know what people in this country are thinking.
Unless China endorses it, it is difficult to achieve the unification of the Korean Peninsula, and if we do not respect the worries of China, we can only continue to divide and conquer.
It is possible if the United States withdraws from the Korean Peninsula and talks about the unification of Korea.
The peninsula is a sad existence, and it is important to properly deal with the relations between the great powers. Otherwise, it will be a cannon food.
Non-sovereign countries are like this.
Will the socialist North Korea and the capitalist Korea match? The purpose of Korea is to eat North Korea and match a peninsula in the name of South Korea.
This makes it easy to follow the mainstream of the US military.
There is no need for unification. As long as the two countries are friendly, it will be the happiest of the peninsula to rescue each other's development.
The old man is dreaming during the day. Did you ask to agree with Kim Jong Eun though you said this?
Sentence being is wrong. After the reunification, the US troops should be withdrawn, and North Korea should agree to it.
Comment from: http://bit.ly/2zzs3zt
Editing impressions (Japanese editor's thoughts)
This time I tried to hire Chinese reaction. There seems to be a strong opposition to the continuing USFK mainstream too.
On the one hand, the Chinese government has not shown any attitude toward this remark. What is the coordination between China and China?
What North and South Korea expect now is declaration of war and sanctions against North Korea. By dismantling the sanctions, South Korea can make the development of North Korea stand out.
The original North Korean attitude was denuclearization of the peninsula = USFK withdrawal, but it is said that the declaration of the end of the war has come to a great extent in order not to proceed.
The president, who is a sentence, speaks of Kim Jong Eun. If the two sides did not agree, this statement would not have come out.
In short, North and South want to get rid of sanctions regardless of what they do. For that, we must lecture all means that accept the United States.
One is to dismantle a nuclear facility or a launch pad to show the progress of denuclearization. Now there is a mobile launcher or a submarine, so you do not need a large launcher.
North Korea will have to stick to the election before the US election, and President Trump will wait for a period of irritation in his performance.
The Chinese government wants to be strongly involved in the declaration of the end of the war, but agrees that it wants to push forward sanctions.
I do not know what kind of communication is going to be going on between China and China, but it may be that China is continuing the mainstream of the USFK for the sanctions from the declaration of war.
The declaration of the end of the war and the unification of the two Koreas are not sets. It is also possible that the story of the USFK continuing mainstream will disappear when it is matched.
The Chinese government will also think deeply about this area. If it does not come out, it will repulse immediately.
I think that it is trying to accept the United States because it conspires especially because the north and the south hold the declaration of the end and the sanction.
For President Trump, this condition is too good for an appeal to the election.
Regardless, there has been a tremendous number of comments on this report. It is somewhat unpleasant that the reaction of the Chinese government does not exist anyway ....
Thank you for watching.
I would appreciate your evaluation of the video if you do not mind.

When 'gh' says 'f': Endnotes Spelling Bee - Duration: 5:42.
As I discussed in the original Spelling video, words spelled with a gh generally correspond
to Old English words that had a kind of guttural sound in them, often spelled in Old English
with an h or sometimes a g.
After the Old English period, the new Norman French scribes decided that using h that way
was confusing & so adopted the use of the gh letter combination to spell this very Germanic
sound that didn't exist in French.
But over the course of the Middle English period, that guttural sound began to disappear
from the English language, so that's why we have a bunch of words in Modern English,
like through & though, in which the gh is silent.
Some words that didn't originally have that guttural sound, like delight & sprightly,
began to be spelled as if they did by way of analogy, so delight as if it were related
to light.
& in some cases that can be useful for distinguishing homonyms such as sleigh & slay. & there a
few borrowed words like spaghetti & ghoul in which gh represents another foreign sound.
But what about words like laugh, rough, & cough in which the gh is pronounced f like an F-sound?
Well it turns out that there is a kind of connection between consonant sounds produced
at the back of the mouth & ones produced with the lips.
We already saw that a bit with words like Old English boga becoming Modern English bow.
It's actually a fairly common sound shift that happens in many languages, such as Latin
aqua meaning "water" becoming Romanian apa, with the k sound in aqua made at the
back of the mouth shifting forward in the mouth to the lips in apa.
Similar shifts can be found in other languages such as Irish, Albanian, Russian, & so forth.
Well, what happened in the case of words such as laugh & rough is another example of this
sound change called labial velar shift.
Let me unpack that.
Labial means with the lips, so labial sounds include sounds like p spelled p in English.
That's a bilabial stop, that is it's made by stopping the air flowing from your mouth
by putting both lips together.
Another labial sound we have is f usually spelled f in English.
It's a labiodental fricative, made by putting your top teeth against your bottom lip & only
partially closing off the passage of air, thus causing friction.
As for velar sounds, they're made at the velum or soft palate, that soft part of the
roof of your mouth towards the back.
So originally words like laugh & rough, pronounced in Old English as hlahhan & ruh had a velar
sound, specifically a velar fricative made by partially blocking the air by placing the
tongue close to the soft palate.
So the sound shift here is from one fricative to another, just moved forward in the mouth.
But why did the fricative move all the way forward in the mouth to the lips instead of
somewhere closer like further forward on the tongue?
Well there's good acoustic reasons why a velar fricative would become a labiodental
fricative.
The friction in both those sounds is well below four thousand cycles per second, whereas
for instance the s S-sound, also a fricative, is produced at four thousand cycles per second
& above.
So velar fricatives & labiodental fricatives sound more similar.
Acoustic similarity accounts for other shifts in fricatives too, such as the θ TH-sound
in words such as three or through, a dental fricative produced with the tongue & teeth,
becoming the labiodental fricative in some dialects of English & being pronounced as
fri: & fru:, which is viewer Unknown Ceilings's preferred pronunciation (somewhere around
London I'm guessing?).
Now in some cases, words that underwent this shift became respelled to more accurately
represent the sounds, as in the word dwarf, which was dweorg in Old English, & in the
case of the word draughtdraft you see both spellings, but for the most part the gh spellings
reflecting that older pronunciation became standardized & so we're stuck with them.
The thing is, the changes in pronunciation didn't happen at the same time in all parts
of England nor in the same way, & what we inherited in Modern English is a bit of a
mixed bag.
So the shift to the f sound was particular to northern dialects, & so we see some Middle
English spellings with the letter f in words not pronounced f in Modern English, such as
þof for though & þurf for through.
& in at least one case, the northern variant persisted, eventually becoming a separate
word.
Duff, a kind of steamed pudding, was originally just the northern pronunciation of the word
dough.
Oh, & you know how the word hiccup is sometimes spelled with a gh?
That just comes from the false etymological connection with the word cough—hiccup was
always pronounced with the p sound at
the end.
