Sorry about that. I'm used to forums that turn URLs into links or Youtube embeds automatically.

1870516 When you use [youtube=], all you need is the vid identifying letters/numbers. In the case of this video, it would be Of0d9x-BKe4 (the code after the = sign)

Yeah, I got it all figured out. :pinkiesmile:

Woot! I can't wait to watch it! :D

A good video, it provides good examples of bad sentencing with dialogues and other paragraphs.

Nice touch to have the shirt with the ‘Reading Rainbow’ caption and Rainbow Dash reading a book. It had got me thinking of the show over 20 years back with the same name.

Seeing that you made some improvement in this video, such as having an intro and annotations (or what you call it) that skips to certain segment of the video, I have some suggestions about what could be added in your next video(s).

First would be having the option to include Closed Captions. I believe it would be a nice feature to have for those who are not familiar with certain terms, at least when you take into account with the various age group from all over the world with various level of education. It can also give visual aid to those with hard hearing.

My second suggestion would be to have small list in your description about interesting materials said throughout the video. The materials you had mentioned may prompt the audience to investigate for further reading, such as the Turkey City Lexicon. However, over the course of the presentation, the audience may had forgotten the name of the said material and would have to look back at the entire 25 minute video (not including the music segment at the end) to where it's first pointed out. I imagine it would be convenient for your viewers to include it in your next video.

At least, these are my thoughts about how it can help you out in your next videos. I hope it helps.
