sound weird to you? In this English vocabulary lesson, we will go over some of the more common words that you might come across on the internet these days.

Thanks, those words are really useful
Excuse me, but does anyone know why I can’t leave a comment here? I can only reply to someone’s comment.
Is this comment box not showing up for you?
Yes, it is. I didn’t notice it because there isn’t any auto-redirection to the page bottom after button clicking.
But link in your message works correctly and now I see where comment box is.
Thank you ;)
P.S.
You may also remove my previous and this one comments because it doesn’t make any sense now)
Once I was told that language was a living thing i.e. it is changing all the time especially the English language.
Back then, it didn’t make much sense to me. But now I’m convinced of that since I’ve seen how the English language has coined and added many new words to its corpora with the advent of the Internet and new technology.
This lesson was really helpful.
Thanks for this update on Internet terminology Mr. Benn.
Regards
Lovely lesson.
weeeeeee
I am the first one to comment. thank you Adam for your wonderful lesson
it’s my first time to know that GOOGLE is a verb
thank you again
GOOGLE is a noun.. TO GOOGLE is a verb.. :)))
Very useful
Adam, I think the cover of the video is inappropriate for a teacher of your quality.
Care your pupils!
It is about the word “viral”but i can bet you,he is a good teacher
You will grow up after few years…
I agree with you
No offense intended IsraelRE. I think the video editor was just trying to have a little fun while also making a point.
We’ll be more careful in future postings :)
:) very bad example…
do you know what’s great about you sir?? that u reply ppl comments and you really make sure that every body enjoyed ur lesson :))I wish my teachers were like you xD mY teachers they don’t smile at all while explaining and there mood is always off and their classes are so Damn boring :( :/
any way thanks sir Tc

Yes you are right
Thanks Alot =D
very useful topic.What ever is posted on EngVid goes viral that is why i found it.Thanks Adam
Yeah I also found it that way
Thank you very much.
What does (URL) stand for?
Uniform Resource Locator.
Thanks Mursaleen :)
GOOGLE IT!!
indeed :)
in this lesson i was teaching many vocabulary words of internet but why you do not add somes words like
hack-root-hacker-crack-key-serial number-patch……..but anyway thank you so much my teacher
We can’t cover them all in one lesson! Maybe we need a new one on hacker and pirate vocabulary :P
thanh you very much.
Oh my…I really got scared when I saw Miley Cyrus’s ass right in front of Adam’s face! What is he gonna talk about this time..? – I thought to myself, Gosh don’t do that again…
lol, won’t do it again.
But anyways thanks for the new lesson! pretty interesting topic! :)
At first, honest to say, I was surprised because there was the photo of woman’s hip in the front of you :( Later I understood it was for explanation a web vocabulary (Sorry, I forgot the word. I have to review. haha) I got 8 correct out of 10. I forgot “SPAM” was a junk mail. But don’t worry. I ignore SPAM mails. Phishing also. The titles are weird for me. Thank you for your interesting lesson, Adam :)
SPAM always makes think about canned food…….
I never eat SPAM. So the canned SPAM is still mysterious meat for me :)
Thank you i got 9 correct out of 10 :)
really viral video
I correct 10~~
this lesson is so easy to me.
she is who? she impressed me.lol
thanks you for helpful lesson.
Hi Jinhun,
That’s Miley Cyrus, an American singer. She used to be Hannah Montana. :)
Thank you for your lesson.
That a good lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please i have a request out of the topic,can anyone plz show me how to crop my profile picture because i have been trying and it doesn’t work ,thank you
Me too bro, I can’t crop my pic. Can anyone help me plz?
This lesson will go viral.
Is that go or goes??
i don’t know. Ask sir adam about it.
It’s definitely ‘go’ not ‘goes’ . Because after ‘will’ we use the verb in zero form.
I hope my answer is clear for you, Bianlei.
Hi BianLei,
Use the normal rules for verbs: it will go viral, and if this lesson goes viral, it will be nice.
Hope that helps.
Got it, sir. Thanks! :)
Oh yeah , 10/10 Tnx Adam your lesson will go viral
Hello Adam.

It will be great. Your lessons are very helpful, because everything is clear and understandable:))) Really thanks. Your manner of explaining things is very good one, because the most important thing is the ability to explain in a clear and simple way. So as soon as your website is ready please let us know. Thank you in advance:)))
I wanna be informed about it too:))
Thank you this wonderful lesson! PERFECT again! 10/10

(PS: Funny last question in the quiz)
Finally I got 10 correct out of 10. Ya~y :D I will write about engVid for going viral on Facebook. Thank you, Adam ;)
Many thanks Adam!
Adam, you are an excellent teacher. Again, EXCELLENT!
But there are hundreds of images to illustrate your class.
I do not want EngVid open the page in front of my wife and my seven year old son, and that looks like a xwebsite.
There are many people following your work. We are from different religions, moral principles, ages, and more … I’m sorry, but I must express my feelings.
Thanks for teaching.
Thank you
thaks, i learned what some worlds means if we use in portuguese but u really don’t know what that mean, but have an idea. like cookies or spam
great words/verbs haha! thx
Many thanks adem
Thank you, Adam
I really don’t know what a post view is. I chose “what can be seen from the top of a post”. xD At first I thought that it is some kind of button and after you press it, you can see all post on one site, so that’s why it’s a post view, but this answer wasn’t available. :)
Adam, I have some questions:
1. Look ad these sentences:
“Almost two years later, the report has yet to be delivered.”
“To this day, officials have yet to provide key details, including exactly how many machines were compromised…”
“Greg Kroah-Hartman told Ars that the investigation has yet to be completed and gave no timetable for when a report might be released.”
There’s a has/have + yet + infinitive. It looks as the sentences would be positive, but they aren’t. I know that’s because of the word “yet”. I don’t know how to treat the construction, but is there a possibility that it is just “have/has to”? You know, the idiomatic modal verb.
2. I know that people use “you and I”, “he and I”, etc. when they want to say about something that they did with another person. They don’t say, for example, “I and you”. But I noticed that people often use “me and you” instead “you and I”. I don’t know what “you” covers, and the question is: could you tell me a little bit about this thing? I know that this isn’t probably correct, but native speakers use it, and if I wanted to use “he” instead of “you”, in this case I should use “he” or “him”?
3. This is from the Band of Brothers, a tv show. There is a sentence:
“We don’t got no aid station”
It’s pretty weird. :) I can see the double negative, but that’s not the point. Why is there “don’t” + got. I thought at first the word was misspelled in subtitles, but the person really said that. Any comment?
4. And the last one is the following sentence:
“A couple of beers makes you less focused and decreases you memory”
“A couple of…” is always singular?
Hi Morfik,
Let’s start with:
1) “Almost two years later, the report has yet to be delivered.”—…the report has not yet been delivered.
“To this day, officials have yet to provide key details, including exactly how many machines were compromised…”—… officials have not yet provided key details…
You’re right about the negative connotations. However, by saying have yet to… instead of have not yet…, the implication is that the action is still expected and awaited.
2) I’m sorry to say that native speakers make grammar mistakes all the time. Basically, use I, you, he, she, we, they in the subject position, and me, you, him, her, us, them in the object position.
He and I want to visit you and her.
3) LOL. The Americans like to butcher the language at times. It comes from ‘haven’t got’.
It would have been even worse if they’d have said “We ain’t got no…”
4) Nope. If you literally meant two beers, then it would be a plural construct. If you are referring to the idea of drinking alcohol, then it can be singular. (soon there will be a lesson posted on collective nouns that will explain this a bit more)
:)
Thanks!!!!!!
Thanks! It’s very helpful.
Adam, I have one questions, please may correct this phrase:
“Well versed in the field of research and development in the field
of nanotechnology. I’m Looking an opportunity to work as a
researcher in electromagnetic modeling.”
“(I am)Well versed in the area of research and development in the field of nanotechnology. I’m looking for an opportunity to work as a
researcher in electromagnetic modeling.”
Hope this helps.
Hi Adam. Thanks for your efforts and teaching us internet vocabulary. that is right the bit is representing a smallest information in the computer, and by the way it is coming from BInary digiT (BIT), so byte generally represent 8 bits length.
hi adam, your class is wonderful like always thanks!
“mystery meat” that combination of words make me laugh. Thanx.
Yayy I got 80 cool XD thank you so muchhh, I want to suggest something which is why you don’t give us your kik or whatsApp so that we can ask you and you reply us I mean that will much better pleaseeeeee ♡♡♡
Hi Ashliy,
I’m afraid I’m not familiar with these apps. I will look them up however and get back to you.
okay thank you a lot
Thank you handsome teacher
Your site is very helpful! Before I watch the lesson I answer first the questions about the lesson to see how my knowledge has gone far without watching the lesson yet and afterwards watch and learn for my mistakes in the video. Keep up the goodvwork! :)
Thank you very much. This is a very useful information.
Hello Adam! Good lesson!
I have some question about grammar. There is the sentence “Did you understand the lesson?” at the end of this video. Why is the Past Simple used there but not the Present Perfect?
Hi BlackCorsair,
Good question. In this case I am using ‘the lesson’ as a reference point for a clear event that happened in a recognizable past, and so can use the simple tense. I can also use the perfect tense, but in casual situations I would go with the simple.
Does this help?
I think I get it, but not completely =)
I would be very grateful if you could give me some examples (with explanation).
OK. If I say “In high school I studied very hard” you can understand that ‘high school’ is not a specific time, but rather a situation. That situation implies a specific time (high school = 14-18 years old).
When I say “Did you understand the lesson?” the lesson is a situation that just happened. You know which lesson I mean, so it is specific enough that I can use the past simple. If I ask you about other lessons of mine, I would use “have you understood my lessons?” because it’s a more general question. If I ask “did you understand my lesson on writing?” I can go back to the simple tense because it is more specific and you know when I gave that lesson and which lesson.
Is this a little better?
Yep) That’s pretty good explanation.
Now everything is clear.
Thank you very much for all your help, Adam!
Adam, I got another one. This concerns the “cts” suffix. For example: facts or effects. I noticed that people pronounce it without “t”. Now I’m watching “Married with children”, and there is a word “respect”. It was also pronounced without “t”. So, it looks like people don’t feel comfortable with pronunciation of “c” and “t” when they exist together. Is that right? Is it acceptable to say words in this way?
Actually, if you listen very carefully, the ‘t’ is pronounced in respect. The ‘k’ sound is just stronger and so ‘drowns out’ the ‘t’. As for facts and effects, the t+s combine to sound like the ‘zz’ in pizza, rather than a clear and separate t and s.
thank you teacher. now i know what is meme…
Compliments, you are the first person I know who can pronunce “meme” in the right way.
It comes from ancient Greek “mimema” – “imitated”.
Thanks for this lesson!
hi adem I am not good at speaking,can you have some more about apeaking lessons?Thank very much!
Thanks everyone :)
Thank you Adam for your help
Dear mr. adam can you please explain me about “using expression of quantity and prepositions in adjective clauses”.
