So many YouTube scholars who know nearly nothing about anything. Sometimes it’s, “better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

Kind of like the YouTube historians who insist on speaking German when they discuss anything German. It's all flex. And frankly some go to far by using entire German phrases. Of course I watch a lot of 4 wheel drive and off road videos and it's comical how often Brits and Australians complain about driver side and passenger side being used for direction in videos filmed in, filmed by, and featuring only, Americans. It's second only to them complaining about American machinists not using metric.

If "X" is silent where the "Z" come from? The grammar teacher seems to miss the whole point of the video.
