Is there an historian in the house? This lesson is dated November 21, 2007. I hadn’t realized that Marina has been doing this for almost 2 years. Only 29 comments, well I guess the club was new back then, but the oldest comment is dated 2008. I clicked over to utube and looked up this lesson, and it shows over 2 thousand comments. Then to check on the date, I selected all of the comments, and the oldest comment seems to be only 1 year old. As I type, it’s presently Sept 2009, and if you subtract one year from that, the result is somewhere late in 2008, roughly. Did Marina really do this lesson in 2007? My grasp of the past, even the recent past, is usually pretty shakey, so, I could use someone in the know to square me away on this.
I am not a dinosaur, but the videos are ordered in date:

it seems it really is from 2007. The first one is from: March 14, 2007

If Marina opens that video with, “Hi, I’m back with a new word.” can that really be her 1st video?
no silly, its the bottom on: Depilation. that is the first lesson
Heck, this one is pretty sexy indeed!
Thank you, Rijk. I was a bit too hasty. (that’s never happened before…)
First lesson is Mar 2, 2007
See my reply to muggins
The Lessons by Date list under the ALL WORDS link is what you want to use.
I disagree with you.
and it is dated: March 2, 2007
The first video is called: Intro to Philology
The second video is called: Oops! Lesson 1 and its dated: March 14, 2007
The first one is the pilot and the second on the first lesson.
Thats an interesting word request [pilot as in trying out a new show]
Hi muggins,
You too can be your own HotForWords historian.
Look at the navigation links at the top of any page.
Click the ALL WORDS link at the top.
Then, click the “Lessons by date click here” link.
Now, scroll way down to the bottom.
What do you see?
March 2007
* Oops! Lesson 1
* Intro to Philology
Notice that “Intro to Philology” is the very first ever published HotForWords lesson. That video was published March 2, 2007
Now, in as far as comments go, here is the deal.
This website did not exist back in 2007.
The domain name did, but not the site. So, therefore there can’t be any comments from early 2007.
I think Marina started developing this site about late Nov – Dec 2007 time frame and one might say that the maiden voyage of the site was in Jan 2008. So, that’s why you start seeing comments for the early videos starting in 2008.
OK, another history mystery solved by yours truly.
I just love it when history’s mysteries are solved. Grazie.

…please do not steal my new [OXEN]…thank you, or…Anglo-Saxons (or Anglo-Saxon) is the term usually used to describe the invading tribes in the south and east of Great Britain from the early 5th century AD, and their creation of the English nation, to the Norman conquest of 1066.[1] The Benedictine monk, Bede, identified them as the descendants of three Germanic tribes: [2]
The Angles, who may have come from Angeln, and Bede wrote that their whole nation came to Britain, [3] leaving their former land empty. The name ‘England’ or ‘Aenglaland’ originates from this tribe. [4]
The Saxons, from Lower Saxony (German: Niedersachsen, Germany)
The Jutes, from the Jutland peninsula.

a couple that we’ve all heard but stang to think about.
We “Drive” on a “Parkway”, but “Park” on a “Driveway”
Another one that I have heard is…
If “PRO” = good
and “CON” = bad,
If “PROgress” is moving forward….
What is “CONgress”???
jumbo shrimp.
I love the uses for oxymoron… It helps decipher predigest.

‘Can I ask you a question?’

Back in high school, I took a course in Yearbook class and we used an oxymoron for our yearbook’s theme:
CONSTANT Change
We just figured that things were “constantly changing”, and we thought it would also be creative to have HALF the yearbook cover with a photo of scattered pennies (symbolizing change). While the OTHER half we just super-glued a mint conditioned penny (symbolizing constant) that was made during that school year. We had to add over $20 to the budget for 2000+ pennies for each yearbook. I guess the penny was to represent each student, I don’t remember.
