That's so true. I once asked an American gentleman aged 70 something about the usage like everyday (adj) and every day (adv) and even pronunciation 'says' (seiz) and 'sez'. I wonder why or whether more native speakers, especially young ones, misuse and mispronounce the words. The gentleman felt sorry for the trend. He said, 'yes, these young individuals have grammatical errors and they are wrong, but what to do? They have no problem with these mistakes and find the mistakes 'cool'. I feel bad about this, but they insist on this.....'
@@katkatk4446 it doesn’t only happen in English though, a lot of languages that I knew of is undergoing this phenomenon, I think it’s due to the pace people living in is much more faster, and the importance and purpose of pursuing grammatical correctness is really overlooked.

前两几年在本地的aviation museum参观,碰到一个老太太是空军遗孀。我们相互问好时,她说How do you do? 之后接着说现在人们都说Hi了对吧....我觉得她挺可爱的,我说我自从离开中国来到澳洲以后再没听过这样问好的。后来聊天知道她94岁了,她就住在博物馆后边的养老院里,里边多数是退休飞行员家庭,来博物馆里当志愿者,跟游客聊聊天的. 我希望她还健在,疫情之后还可以继续去做志愿者。

很喜欢你的视频。不过要说一点,“吃饱了吗?/你吃了吗?”人们已经不说了。这个用法是很久很久以前绝大多数中国人民因为贫穷和粮食收成不好经常吃不饱饭的时候,为了表示对对方的关心而存在的一种打招呼的用法。These days most people in China worry about something completely opposite. 几十年时间城市里的人们温饱不愁,很多人身材走形了。追求健康,或者美,线条和身材的女人们喜欢听你说“你最近怎么好像瘦了”。这个打招呼方式既表达了关心,又是对对方隐性的赞美。用得恰当,可以拉近关系。We say 'hi' or 'hello' for casual greetings, “你好” or “你好吗” for casual to more formal greetings. 请不要再说中国人见面打招呼说的是“你吃饱了吗”。听到的人会觉得奇怪,甚至觉得你瞧不起他,觉得他穷得连饭都吃不起。对方会不高兴哦。

I "seldom" do things like that. A lovely girl before me, but I didn't know what to say. So I searched "courting" tips on the web. It is said that greeting with "how do you do" is a great start, therefore I came to her and greeted her. We had a wonderful conversation and time. In the end, I asked her, May I have the honor to invite you to be my children's "mother" in the future? Then she called 911

Questions for Susie: How do you feel about using "fortnightly"? "Biweekly" often comes up as a point of contention with my colleagues because it can mean either twice a week or once every two weeks. On that note, what about "colleague" vs. "co-worker"? What about "fetch"? As in "I'll fetch him from the station." Do you still use "serviette" to ask for a paper napkin? Are "lush" and "lech" still used to describe people? What about these: "hereafter/hereinafter/therein/thereafter/thereinafter/hence/henceforth/thence/thenceforth", "whereas" (I hear this one often enough but used incorrectly just as often as not), "wherewithal", "therefore" (this one is still quite popular), "heretofore", "before" (also really popular), .... So many fun words. Do we really not use them anymore?

的確,過去有些英文單字現在已經不怎麼使用了,像是「空中小姐」,過去叫「stewardess」,現在則稱為「flight attendant」(現在已經幾乎沒有人用stewardess這個字了)。還有,當人收到東西,過去的用法是「have/has *gotten* an item」,現在已經幾乎沒有人這樣說了,而是改用「have/has *received* an item」。

As a greeting, "How do you do" is simply a statement, not a question --- there is no question mark at the end. The proper way to respond is to also say "How do you do". (It's rather like saying 你好 rather than 你好嗎?in Chinese -- you'd also respond to the former by saying 你好) 😉 "How do you do" is not "outdated", it's just a more formal greeting than "How are you?".

Apart from courting, none of those examples are actually outdated. It's more a difference between oral and written, informal and formal languages. Even courting, as you touched upon, it's not exactly the word, but rather the social mode, that's outdated. But then, there are still quite a few hardy souls who soldier on and actually court the objects of their desire. (I would venture a guess that you, a modern young lady, having lived in Asia, probably have been courted, in every Victorian sense of that word, once or twice.)

I agree with Fic Fab completely. A native speaker told me “how do you do” is not outdated, which contradicts this video. Nobody would say, “What’s up?” in a formal meeting with the Queen or the Prime Minister. “How do you do?” is still the most formal greeting nowadays. Technically, internet is just one kind of webs. For example, intranet is another kind of webs. “Web” and “internet” are equal terms to each other. To accurately mention internet, we use the term “internet”, but not “web”. It is something like I mention an apple and I use “apple”, but not “ fruit”. It doesn’t mean “fruit” is outdated. “Mother” and “mum” are obviously different for written and oral English, which is the same as three decades ago, at least.

Something I hate about English is that there are too many synonyms in English. There are thousands of words in English which mean "good" and thousands more with the meaning "bad". And the list keeps growing every day because the native English speakers keep inventing new words and new terms. It is very difficult for non-native speakers.
