字幕表 動画を再生する 英語字幕をプリント hi out there in YouTube land i'mDrew Badger and in this video we're going to cover nine phrases that are commonly misused by both native speakers and english learners the first one is coming down the pike and this is often misheard and misused as coming down the pipe people will hear this is not coming down the pipe because maybe coming down the pike doesn't make a lot of sense to many people but the expression refers to a truck or something coming down a Turnpike which is a word for just a large road and often this is a toll road but anyway we're talking about something that is describing a future thing or what's coming very soon so to use this correctly you're saying that something is coming down the pike when you're talking about the future next people often say I could care less about an expression when what they really mean is I couldn't care less if you say I could care less and this just means what what people are trying to say anyway is that they don't care about something at all but this is just a common way of expressing that basically you're saying that you care about something so little like this tiny amount if anything that you could not care about it even less so you care about it to such a low degree or such a low level that you can't care about it less or even more so it sounds kind of like a weird thing but people often use this in conversations even native speakers they will say I could care less which actually means you still have really to care less about that thing so the correct way of using this is I couldn't care less about this so i couldn't care less about what I wear every day for work I couldn't care less so for me maybe I work at home on my computer I can sit in my underwear or I could wear a business suit it doesn't matter so I couldn't care less about what I where I couldn't care less next this is an interesting one to circumvent the globe what people are actually trying to say is to circumnavigate the globe when you circumvent something both of these have the idea of circles so traveling around something circumvent and circumnavigate but to circumvent means to get around something typically a problem that you might have like I'm trying to circumvent my boss at work maybe he's a like stopping me from doing something I want to do so i have to go to a higher level than him at work but to circumnavigate the globe means you're actually traveling around something as opposed to you're trying to like get around the earth like it's an obstacle so you want to circumnavigate the globe where the Earth's as opposed to circumvent it next this is a really common thing that people mistake and this is to pique your interest but we're not talking about the peak like the peak of a mountain or talking about peaking like you're peeking through a keyhole in a door we're talking about to peak and to actually be interested so when you're talking about this in conversations there's really no difference because all of these words piqué piqué and piqué they have the same pronunciation but when you're writing these things you actually want to use it correctly often when people will be using these mistakes in their conversations again it doesn't matter because you can't hear anything you can't hear the difference but when you writing it people read that and think wow this person really doesn't know what they're talking about so when you're getting your interest piqued by something it means you're you're increasing your interest in something maybe you see something really interesting and you're looking at that you're captivated by that thing it is piquing your interest and use the correct spelling with that when you write pique pique next to jibe with to jive with something to drive with just means you find it agreeable so it's something you agree with something you have no problem with you jive with a particular thing like maybe like a presidential example maybe like you jive with what Donald Trump says are you don't jive at all with what Donald Trump has to say or his belief but this is often confused with jive with and when people are speaking in a conversational casual way they will often use these things very quickly to jive with to jive with to jive with I really jag with his views next to nip something in the bud but people often say this as to nip it in the butt so they're saying but like dutt like you know your butt as opposed to a but which is thinking about like the bud on a plant if you think about a problem that's happening you don't want the problem to get big and become really difficult to solve so you want to nip it in the bud just like trying to destroy a whole plant or a whole long branch it's much easier to do it when it is a small but so if you can think about nipping something like taking a small cut just like you're a gardener and pulling the little buds off of a plant before they become large it's the same idea of destroying a problem or ending a problem before it becomes too big to nip something in the bud to give something in the bud next for all intents and purposes for all intents and purposes now this is an interesting phrase because really intent and purpose mean the same thing but this is just a common expression that describes well for all the reasons we want to do something or for all the reasons that something might happen but what people will often say is for all intensive purposes now this is a different way obviously you're pronouncing something a little bit different but it changes the meaning of it so instead of intent and purposes you're talking about intensive purposes which is like really strong purposes which doesn't really make much sense so if you're using this be sure to use it correctly for all intense and purposes for all intents and purposes next this is another common one that's misused by people self-deprecating vs self-depreciating now to depreciate something this is the opposite of appreciate where were maybe thinking about reducing the value of something so it kind of makes sense in the situation but we're talking about self-deprecating which is actually the word when you maybe you tell a joke about yourself or say something bad about yourself like wow my hair is looking really bad or like my ears are too big so you're kind of taking the opportunity to to maybe humble yourself a little bit with self-deprecating humor or to say something that is self-deprecating to be careful when you're writing these things because often like the spell checker you'll be using when you're maybe typing something it will give you the correct word because depreciate or depreciating is a word both of those are actual words so you need to make sure just like another common example is talking about more van or more than ye be made this like made this mistake a lot when I was younger when you're talking about i like something more than something else but people often type in war then now you don't want to use then in this because it doesn't make sense for the situation but it is the correct word so it often won't be checked with spelling so be careful when you're typing these things out that you go back and review the spelling of them self deprecating is what you should be using next another common one hunger pains this is often misspoken as hunger pains like you've got pains in your stomach and you feel hungry and you should eat something so it feels like this should be a correct thing to say you feeling some hunger pains of hunger pains but really paying is the actual correct word and this describes the same thing so this is one of those situations where if you say oh I've got some hunger pains nobody is really going to correct you in a situation but if you're writing this you're trying to use it in a much more professional way you should be using the correct thing which is hunger pain
