What You Ought To Know...(and mispronounced words)

A friend posted a link yesterday to a funny video on YouTube by the WhatYouOughtToKnow group. Well, that video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbSSQe6vsSw) was about what we say wrong - it was so interesting and funny! It made me watch more - on women, on veggie people, on the scientific method, on the way he does math, on the greenhouse effect, and 2012!, etc. I just couldn't stop - I must've listened/watched 20 videos yesterday. I stopped one or two that weren't telling me anything I cared about or funny. The rest were very funny and/or very informative.

So, here's their site: http://www.whatyououghttoknow.com/show/ and here's their youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/WhatYouOughtToKnow. One brother films, one brother is filmed.

Check it out - maybe you'll enjoy and get some laughs...and maybe you'll learn something! Or maybe it'll inspire you to research something that you never thought of in that way! To see if What You Ought To Know is correct! Or, maybe you won't like, but...that's all up to you!

Here's a couple links about words we pronounce or spell wrong:

The LXD

What is that? It's the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers, of course! I have to share them...because they are my obsession this week.



On Netflix I saw this movie - LXD: The Uprising Begins about dancers with special powers (Ra - they move energy with their extraordinary dance skills) that fight the shadow (Organization X or OX) dancers. WHAT? LOL. So, I watched it...and was AMAZED by their dancing skills. They do all kinds of dancing:  hip-hop, krumping, contemporary, tricking, popping, b-boying, jazz, tap, and ballet. The show is cool, too...dancing superheroes and villians - what! If you are into that sort of thing... which apparently I am! ;)

You can check the episodes out on hulu.com for Season 1 and 2 (http://www.hulu.com/search?query=LXD+&st=1&fs=null), or Netflix for Season 1 (http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The_LXD_The_Uprising_Begins/70142870?trkid=2361637). There's also eps and clips on youtube of them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7iSt0jMAlk (Robo-dance).
