What I love about this is a few years back, a student pointed out that ideas can indeed be green. And now I use it as an example of how cool language change is.

I almost forgot to point out the metathesis that occurs in the portmanteau but not the unportmanteau “prejudice”.
Man, I love language. 🐦🐦🦤

Also, there aren't captions, sorry about that. But the captions produced by the broadcasters were white on white. Me and my good eyesight had to squint. They got the players name wrong and didn't verbify the adjective ~akin~, just left it without the past tense conjugation {sadddd}.

I love how we don't know the year from her letter b/c she was like blah blah after the 18--.
I know the year b/c I have his letter to her from Oct 8, 1893. It has bang-up spelling moments. I'll share it later, probs.
