Had thought that english's 3rd person "s" was odd, but nice to hear from John McWhorter (big fan of his books).
Surprised that he would say "vikings learned english badly". I get it, but is there such a thing as bad when it comes to language ? There's common and less common, and somewhere in the middle is that creative mix that makes languages evolve. Cheers, Brad
Thanks for the video
