I wish we could abrogate these mainstream platforms like Fakebook and twitter lol
Oh, so true!! btw: What's this with @threespeak saying, "This video is no longer available. The author has removed this video from 3Speak.", @englishwithnate?? (I'm looking forward to their IPFS and coin mining integration introduced at #hivefest. Yet I'm not sure where a video are stored for it to stay available, maybe even though the uploader does not want it.) !ENGAGE 10 !invest_vote and !PUREWATER, !JUICE and !WINE for you to choose.
@anli - I reached out to the 3Speak team about this message. The video was available one day and then gone the next.
I think they are doing so great things. That is why I wanted to start uploading my videos with them. I included a YouTube link since my video was not showing as expected.
Thanks for the engagement and the support!

Those are all wonderful and practical words. Vocabulary is so important so students can read the good stuff. I shudder to think of the limited vocabulary they get through modern media.
Thanks for the support and kind words. Vocabulary is very important, both for native speakers and non-native speakers.
When I lived overseas, I was always able to explain my thoughts and ideas, often in long paragraphs. And when I told my wife about my experience, she would say, "Why didn't you just use the word ______?" Sometimes one word is enough to explain an entire idea.
