00:00I am here to talk to you about the word incredible, origins of language, continued, incredible,
00:17well, originally incredible, not credible, lacking credibility, not trustworthy, but somehow
00:29eventually it got turned on its head and it means super, wonderful, fabulous, the person
00:38is incredible, no, so of course as an author, someone who deals in words and sometimes
00:51the twisted warped perceptions and meaning, so you have to be careful of course now, most
00:59use incredible, like Remo Williams' movie, Remo Williams' The Adventures Begin, I love
01:10that movie, June, oh great, fabulous, I wish it would have been an ongoing, continuing
01:18series, I would have liked to have seen sequels, a lot of fun movie, but in the end there, Remo
01:26says to Choon or Juna forget, Choon, you're incredible, and he says, no, I am better than
01:35that, meaning the current, more normally used modern term, meaning great and super and wonderful
01:44as incredible rather than, he's incredible, right, tone can matter, when you're hearing
01:52it, you understand the difference between the two intended applications of the word, so
02:00you have to be careful when reading it in a sentence, because you can't hear verbal inflection,
02:06incredible, lacking all credibility, you can't trust the guy, versus, oh, he's incredible,
02:15great, super, anyway, all right, I'm going to leave with that, I just, I heard the word,
02:21I heard someone use the word incredible, and I just couldn't help myself but to come and
02:29do and say something about it, thank you all, take care, God bless, love you all.
