100 Million Video Views!
Hey everyone! I wanted to thank you all for getting me to 100 MILLION video views on YouTube! That’s a pretty MAJOR milestone.. considering that that number is 1 third the population of the United States, for example!
Whitesmoke, the makers of the software I use to correct my grammar have been kind enough to give me over $3000.00 worth of software to GIVE AWAY to you! But rather than just pick 10 random people.. I thought we’d make a game out of it 
But a fun and easy one!
Write a cute love letter to someone you love, email it to me at and I’ll pick the 10 cutest/funniest/loveliest letters. The winners will win an Executive Package from WhiteSmoke PLUS the Multi-Lingual Dictionary - each package is worth over $300!
Here is a link to the software that I am talking about AND I’ll throw in a personal love letter from me mailed via postal mail to the top 10 winners!
You guys are the BEST! And thank you WhiteSmoke for the gifts and the free trials!!! Here’s looking forward to the next 100 million!
Lots of love,
Marina
Marina, I guess I owe you some thanks. I was notified by WhiteSmoke that I was one of the winners of the software contest! Hopefully my grammar and spelling will be vastly improved once I begin using this software.
Thanks again,
Tom
Congratulations Tom, that makes two of us.
I have been using Whitesmoke for a few days now, and it has helped me solve some ways in structuring sentences correctly.
Thank you again Marina and for thinking up this game and selecting me. I am truly honored and humbled.
this is a reply to, Raymond Borowiak’s,
“Funny I didn’t know Alexis is Russian maybe it was Alexisoff or Alexispov. I remember some people came to this country and got their really long names changed by INS to Smith.”
It is not a Russian name actually.
It is short for something but nothing Russian, it is short for Alexandra.
I have a little Russian in me but not too much.

Hello Marina,
Congratulations on such an unprecedented achievement. Too bad it wasn’t a musical album or book- but then you might not be making anymore shows for us to enjoy. You’d be on a permanent vacation while having Bob fly you all over the world.
I see that you must be tired from all the work that you’ve been doing since you couldn’t even get up to dance for the announcement.
For all of your efforts- Thank you Marina
Marina!!
I’ve written an entry, but every time i try to send it, it says that the your email account ” loveletter@hotforwordscom” is not valid
How can I send it in??
A Milli A Milli A Milli A Milli A Milli!
Congratz yet again.
Marina, thanks for the effort & energy you’ve poured into this, for lack of a better word, project. Haven’t seen anybody with your enthusiasm for word origins & teaching them. Kudos to you for finding a way to make this youtube thing work for you (and sticking with it through the $$ dry times). First time I saw you was the featured “womens dictionary” & I could not stop showing Clients, suppliers & friends the videos ’til they got sick of me. Anyways, most afternoons around coffe time, a small group of us gather in the office (one guy just shows up on time because he has no computer at home) to view, as he says “the word of the day”.
Thanks for starting this forum thing too, this is cool, I hadn’t done any of this talking on line stuff before, so now ,at home, I probably seem like I’m trying to keep up with the kids… well only one left, so kid.
Question, sort of… you said you were going to explain later why you moved into the new place (or out of the old), did I miss it, or is it still a mystery?
BillyB,
I agree, I’m new to this also and I enjoy this forum on several points.
In regards to the new living space-I think she mentioned that it had to do with her getting Kobe.
Hi Warren, just goes to show how we remember different things.
I think I remember her saying she got Kobe because the new place couldn’t accommodate Gucci, so he went to stay with relatives, but she said that she would explain the move in the future, which is now , or tomorrow, or the next…
Anyways as you state above, she didn’t get up to dance. I can think of at least two possible reasons. One… it was very hot & the A/C is broken, (or even being controlled by big bro.) draining all her energy. Or two… getting up from that position may be a little less than modest, wearing that lovely yellow outfit.
Sent it! Check it out pleasee!
When is the deadline Ms. Orlova?
Try to get it to me by the next couple days
I’m on it! I’m guessing you won’t accept late work.

Congratulations on 100 million views.
I think I’ve contributed somewhere in that 100 million - please look for me at views #321,832, #321,996, #685,451, and (hehe) especially at #960,069.
I wonder if you have over 100 Million comments on your videos as well.
It’s possible she has 100 million comments. After all, for every 5 people who don’t leave a comment, there’s 1 person who leave five comments
It all evens out, I bet 
Or one person who litters the site with comments. Wouldn’t be me.
While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
‘Welcome to heaven,’ says St. Peter. ‘Before you settle in, it
seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.’
‘No problem, just let me in,’ says the senator.
Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is
have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.’
‘Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,’ says the senator. ‘I’m sorry, but we have our rules.’
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. Now it’s time to visit heaven.’
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. ‘Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.’
The senator reflects for a minute, then answers: ‘Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.’
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above…
The devil comes over to him an d puts his arm around his shoulder. ‘I don’t understand,’ stammers the senator. ‘Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?’
The devil looks at him, smiles and says…….
‘Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted.’
So true!
good one mike make you think its true
:
haha, nice.
Where’d you get this, a friend of mine is a pastor with a website & he has a pearlygates e mail & clean joke list… I’ll send it to him. He may have already seen it… Should I give you credit capman?
BillyB he is welcome to it. My wife sent it to me. So please pass it on. I don’t need any credit for it as long as someone else can get a laugh out of it.
Thanks, sent.. I’ll let you know if he’s seen it. We call him the “Pastor of Disaster”. Raced with him @ Western Speedway, He drove Demo Trucks (Hit to pass racing) We drove claimer division. Chris #69 my oldest son, drives in the claimer division now, & is good… hope to be able to afford a better class of racing next year for him, although claimer racing is challenging. If you’re fast, the car gets claimed (bought for $650.00) and you can then claim another car & try & beat the fast car you had last race. Keeps costs down, but it’s a lot of work to bring out a faster car the next race. We blew our motor this last weekend. ouch. Yak Yak don’t get me started…
That story is funny in more ways than one, thanks for sharing.
What does “Lakin” mean?… please and thank you
“bee-stung lips”; thank you.
beast of burden
Dear Teacher,
What does “lost his marbles” mean?
Congrats marina 108,000 subscribers.. I unsubscribed then subbed again so i could be 108,000
hmmm…somehow the math doesn’t add up…
if you unsubscribed, she lost one; subscribing gains one…overall, no change…
unless that’s new math…
annudder
‘ello Dear Teacher,
I’we got one for you; it’s “secularization” (let’s go international).
I’ve already checked wikipedia, int. dictionary and few other references on it’s meaning, and I am interested if you could pull something interesting out on it’s etymology.
Looking forward to it and good luck,
~Marco
so .. that’s your plan is it? ..
… conquer America and divide it into three parts to be governed by your TAs.
Well … be careful .. you don’t want to end up like
[Mary, Queen of Scots]
it seems as well as singing [Fairport Convention's Fotheringay]
Sandy Denny sang with Robert Plant on [Led Zep's Battle of Evermore]
… well .. i think it’s interesting.
Moose and Squirrel just pushed the votes to 215.
OK, today, we no kill Moose and Squirrel… muchas gracias!
Karl we are still at 215 votes. I guess everyone has voted as much as they can for today. Maybe there are some stragglers who hasn’t voted. I see Miss M. added the link at the top of the comments section, good
Well Marina i got this one for you… ”Perform” See you later =)
“I was going to suggest that you write one to me, but then I thought that would come off presumptuous…. yes.. please write me a love letter! I need all the love I can get!”
Dearest Teacher
You are beautiful.I love Your wonderful way.Poets will place You among the constellations,I place You deep within My heart.Light makes the stars shine,hearts lend the shimmer. To Me it is Your eyes wich shimmer most of all.
signed- Student Body
tryant (snif n smile)
umm. dude. you’re supposed to email your … thingie.
Yeah man,I know,and TY. I Was inspired and had to get it out without delay. If Marina likes it then She will enter it.
On a lighter note- The best I could do is email a picture of My “thingie”!
Probably get detention for that!
tryant
Just took a better look at how I wrote the lighter note and,NO My Fellow students and Wonderful Teacher,if a pic of a thingie comes in,it is NOT Me!
figured I better clarify,just in case.
tryant
oh, your thingie is “cute / funny /lovely”? better not send it, dude.
LOL, I totaly suck at this “cute” love letter romantic thing
if i did…..i’d make a complete fool out of myself so yeah…….. no letter from me probably……anyway….YOU RULE Marina! 
yeah..
copy from above. they’ll all sound more or less like that. be sure to include a lot of nouns relating to nature (sun, rainbow, ocean etc) in your metaphors. maybe replace stars by sun, heaven, or light or something. whatever strikes you fancy, you know.
Don’t for get the walks along the beach.
ah, right, mike. thanks.
yeah. include activities (!) in a nature environment. you’re more or less forced to paint a picture, and love is not supposed to be a still life. yeah. uh. nature. activities.
How about Schiller… can’t go wrong there, can I?
all is full of love
210 votes and climbing. Lets keep on our toes and vote. I know this is redundant, but the more you see reminders the more you’ll vote and that’s what this video is all about. So lets keep Teach in mind.
Thanks,
Mike
Mike, from your question below, yes it is 5 votes per day. If you only voted 3, try again to see if you can get 2 more. You might need to let the page refresh longer. I noticed that their server gets bogged down once in a while.
Thanks Karl, that’s what I did was kept voting one behind the other and must have over loaded it. I noticed that someone else was voting for M at the same time.
Congratulations Marina on the Hundred-Million Views! And although it’s not PC, you also want to thank your “SLOW” students….. the ones that watch your lessons over and over and over
How about the word “convention” …. a popular word for the next two weeks….
Wow 2nd channel honour 95 most viewed today
Marina, as I am a social outcast. Can we write love letters to you??? I cant actually write love letters to people I know because they are either male/family
I was going to suggest that you write one to me, but then I thought that would come off presumptuous…. yes.. please write me a love letter! I need all the love I can get!
what the hell? to you only? i don’t like this game. :/
ok. I had better start writing now then
x
Mmmmmwah!
Miss M. is there anyway you could put a link to the Best Week End Ever site on this page to remind us to vote or if you do another video today keep the link available to us.
Thanks,
Mike
Ok Marina I sent you my letter
Never Marina,
Maybe a little conceited, arrogant,uppity, assuming, insolent, pompous audacious, bold, brash, brazen, confident, overly familiar, forward, haughty, naughty, pushy or smug,
BUT presumptuous,? not one little bit.
Ps, Can you have your sister send me her email address again I lost it.
Marina, you absolutely slay me with your comments.
When you said, “yes.. please write me a love letter!
I need all the love I can get!” you had me laughing
for weeks. You are the funniest person I’ve
never met. You are absolutely brilliant.
James
You need to let me know so I can change my avatar.
Marina’s not going to talk to you if she think it’s me.
I have changed now so no worries.
why
I had the dancing the banana as my avatar, you never noticed?
We have seen behind the curtain of evil and rotten and you turn out to be a nice guy, almost sweet .
See how you are, do you have the RRR filter on too.
If I had any self esteem issues, I might need therapy by now.
That’s ok, I have been shun for much less by less worthy, so it a honer
to be the villain of the biggest web name on Youtube in the world.
aLx I know your going to dispute me as the villain.
Bite me yellow polka dot boy.
another shocking twist!
so, who’s “we” and what exactly did you look at?
besides. yellow polka dots, my ass. i marked my territory. from the outside.
To commemorate your appearance on The O’reilly factor I was hoping you would do “Diatribe” in honor of Bills favorite tool.
100 million seconds
=
1,666,666 minutes 40 seconds
=
27,777 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
=
1157 years, 9 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
100 million seconds ago, in the year 851, the vikings plundered London and Coventry!
(where’s that “edit” button when you need it!)
ahem …
100 million seconds
=
1,666,666 minutes 40 seconds
=
27,777 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
=
1157 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
=
3 years, 62 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
.. ahem …
… no vikings anywhere
At that rate it seems that about 2.0? per second are viewing her videos.
give or take ……….wow! over a year and a half straight 24 hours a day.
Is that accurate??
when did M produce her first vid?
… i shall zoom off to ‘ave a look, matey.
yep … good thinking to see it that way, roady ..
[very first Marina vid]
= March 02, 2007
August 24, 2008 - March 02, 2007 = 541 days
(according to the date difference function on my calculator)
541 days = 12,984 hours = 779,040 minutes = 46,742,400 seconds.
therefore…
100,000,000 views / 46,750,000 seconds
= 2.14 views/second
i.e. a shade over 2 views / second average.
of course, the view rate will generally be higher the more recent the vid.
Since this site is all about words, what about the word spelling? When did it become the word for creating words? I know spell has two meanings: spell a word and cast a spell. Since you love words I bet you are a great speller! I can’t say the same for me! Without spell check I wood bee domed!!!!
congratulations on 100 million views
The numbers game what does it mean?
I mean look at Ron Paul he got all that money from the internet, and you don’t see him running for President?
Look at it this way it will take you 999.9 years to get to 100 billion views
And congrats to Marina and the twins on your feat. -=#;P

OK 205 and climbing.
Let’s send teacher on a vacation.
http://www.bestweekendevercontest.com/video.php
yea, but we still need to double that
I wrote Marina a comment to see if she could put us a link to that site on this video page to remind us what this video is about. Instead of us having to keep hunting for it. It would only let me vote 3 times before it wouldn’t take any more of my votes. I thought it was 5 votes per day?
Request word: Congratulations
How very sad.
Sister Words is Sooooo jealous,
she couldn’t even offer up congradulations to her sister on an outstanding achievement.
Come on Sister Words you gotta admit she done a good thing.
hehe, your really getting into this.. nice!
u maybe have a thing for sister?
but it’s impossible, she exists only on youtube you know?
Hi, I was wondering what the origin of the word “Cap-a-pie” came from.
That’s what Cap-a-man-911 gets measured for when he goes to the doctor.
Just kidding, 
I know the definition of the word, but I’ll let Miss M add that one to her list as for the etymology of the word. I have never heard of that phrase so I hope she will do it too. 
How do you know the tooumas guy from yt?…just wondering cause i’v been talking to him for a while now.
marina,
a new word to investigate:
imperturbability
sounds interesting, right?
cheers

Thanks for the votes Bob.
You’re on a roll; you’ve been cracking me up all week.
The name Marina Supernova was out of this world.
Actually, I’m not so sure that my analogy of a supernova was a very good one.
I hope I haven’t tempted fate and that Marina doesn’t fade from view, at least during my lifetime. We might all be left with the White Dwarf! (Guess who I’m thinking about.
)
However, the prospect of Marina sucking us all into a black hole is … Wait! maybe she’s already achieved that. There’s no escape, I tell you!
Let’s keep the supernova analogy down to EXTREMELY HOT, and leave it at that
Okay I’ll tell you the short story.
I will capitalize the words I would like for you to look up
and find out where it came from.=]please?
I was drinking KUTZ Soda and my OPA starting laughing.
I asked him what he was laughing at and he said the name of the soda.
I said what do you mean? So I asked my unkle-in-law what was going on since he speaks the same language and they said it meant something else.
Do you know the language and what the words that are capitolized?=]
-MarinaAlexis [and yes we have the same nameC:]
Funny I didn’t know Alexis is Russian maybe it was Alexisoff or Alexispov.
I remember some people came to this country and got their really long names changed by INS to Smith.
where does the word, “derrière ” come from?
Where does the word “Pimp” Come From?
Please And Thanks Alex, A.K.A. Alexdied093
Also Grats on the 100million!!!
Marina, I see you changed the background of the two links in the lessons list.
