ENGLISH IS NUTS AND I'M NUTS ABOUT ENGLISH

Hi. I'm The English Nut. Welcome to my channel!

My weekly videos are about the nuances of English. I highlight interesting facts about the language, provide useful tips on English usage and trace the origin—often the Indian origin—of many English words. My topics include clothing-related terms from India like Jodhpurs and Dungarees, words like Selfie and Sexting that were invented in the 21st century and ‘portmanteau’ words that were formed by blending two existing words—such as Bollywood (Bombay + Hollywood) and Mansplaining (Man + Explaining). I also correct typical pronunciation and grammar errors in a lighthearted way. The idea behind the series is to make you smile while you gain a better appreciation of the language.

WATCH MY VIDEOS FOR ENTERTAINMENT—AND YOU MIGHT LEARN A THING OR TWO AS WELL. :) As I always say, ‘English is nuts. And I’m nuts about English.’ That is what makes my channel tick.
