[00:00:00]This will be in English.

[00:00:03]If somebody was worried, it's all in English.

[00:00:06]Even though English it's not my first language. It's if you haven't figured it out yet.

[00:00:12]I I grew up speaking Finnish. It's very very common in Finland.

[00:00:19]And I did learn English back then. I learned English they teach English there, but when I moved here I learned that it's not the same English that you have.

[00:00:27]>> [laughter] >> The English here is different.

[00:00:30]I think the biggest difference is there's so many of these things here in America. These uh when you shorten a thing, when you shorten a thing down to a just a few letters. I think it's called acronym.

[00:00:41]Like there's so many of those like FBI, YMCA.

[00:00:45]>> [laughter] >> KFC like So many of those. And I've noticed that people here seem to assume that every single person knows the meaning of every single one of these acronyms.

[00:01:00]Even people who moved here like 4 hours ago.

[00:01:05]From day one I moved here people just say to me things like, "Yeah, I'm I'm going through TSA at JFK."

[00:01:12]>> [laughter] >> "You want a PB&J?"

[00:01:17]"I have a PhD and I take CBD for my ADD."

[00:01:21]>> [laughter] >> And uh And I'm like, "What the hell are you saying? What is Is this English? Am I I thought I know this language."

[00:01:34]Cuz they teach English in school in in Finland, but but they mostly teach words.

[00:01:41]Remember those?

[00:01:44]I know so many words.

[00:01:46]But not these acronym things.

[00:01:49]Cuz even official papers here assume that you know these things. I moved here. I had to fill out a form.

[00:01:56]First line on that form, D O B.

[00:02:01]>> [laughter] >> No explanation.

[00:02:06]>> [laughter] >> Just D O B empty space.

[00:02:11]Now I know it's date of birth, but back then I was like this could be anything.

[00:02:16]>> [laughter] >> Dead on the beach. [laughter] No.
