hi everybody my name is Alicia in this

5
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.119
lesson I'm going to talk about

6
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.880
expressions for social media let's get

7
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.940
started all right I want to talk about a

8
00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:20.820
lot of verbs that we use specifically

9
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:24.300
for social media so it's not for email

10
00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:27.480
it's not for like Communication in your

11
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.939
office it's specifically for social

12
00:00:29.939 --> 00:00:33.180
media the first verb is to post to post

13
00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:36.360
this means to share something on social

14
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:39.000
media we can use it on Twitter or

15
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.640
Facebook Instagram whatever your

16
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.860
preferred social media is it means to

17
00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:47.219
share something there we tend to use to

18
00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:50.420
post more on Instagram and on Facebook

19
00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:53.460
we use maybe another verb I'll talk

20
00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:55.680
about later for Twitter but you can use

21
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.440
it on Twitter as well for example I

22
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:01.559
posted a picture on Instagram so Post in

23
00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:04.260
past tense becomes posted I've posted a

24
00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:05.760
picture on Instagram or I posted a

25
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.860
picture on Facebook I posted a picture

26
00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:10.380
on Twitter you can use it to talk about

27
00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:13.260
sharing something on social media to

28
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:15.060
post to post

29
00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:19.319
then this next kind of group I guess is

30
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.040
important for building your network on

31
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.040
social media so we have these two verbs

32
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.938
to friend and to follow someone that we

33
00:01:29.938 --> 00:01:32.700
use most of the time so when we add

34
00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:34.920
someone to our social media accounts we

35
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.860
make a connection with someone we friend

36
00:01:37.860 --> 00:01:42.380
them so we use friend on Facebook so

37
00:01:42.380 --> 00:01:46.140
please friend me on Facebook we use

38
00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:49.380
follow more on Twitter and Instagram and

39
00:01:49.380 --> 00:01:51.720
we can also use follow on like Facebook

40
00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:54.479
pages too there's an option to follow or

41
00:01:54.479 --> 00:01:57.720
like to friend people I think as well so

42
00:01:57.720 --> 00:02:00.240
following and friending have really the

43
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:02.100
same meaning like you want to receive

44
00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:03.840
updates from that person you want to

45
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.119
exchange contact information with that

46
00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:09.239
person for example I just followed you I

47
00:02:09.239 --> 00:02:10.919
just followed you so you could use it on

48
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.959
Twitter or on Instagram whatever to

49
00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:16.080
friend or to follow if feel more

50
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.319
generally we use follow to mean now I am

51
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.319
receiving your updates okay then the

52
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.980
opposite of this is to unfriend or to

53
00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:29.459
unfollow you may also hear D friend but

54
00:02:29.459 --> 00:02:32.160
we do not use D follow we use unfollow

55
00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:35.520
so unfriend or unfollow that means to

56
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.340
stop receiving updates from someone so

57
00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:40.200
maybe you are tired of their information

58
00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:42.300
or you don't have a connection anymore

59
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:45.419
whatever you unfriend someone on

60
00:02:45.419 --> 00:02:47.340
Facebook which means you remove them

61
00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:50.099
from your friend list and you unfollow

62
00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:52.500
someone like on Twitter or on Instagram

63
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:55.739
to stop receiving their updates and you

64
00:02:55.739 --> 00:02:58.200
no longer appear in their list of

65
00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:01.019
connections so an example sentence my

66
00:03:01.019 --> 00:03:02.819
friend unfollowed me my friend

67
00:03:02.819 --> 00:03:06.360
unfollowed me so unfollowing people can

68
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:07.980
kind of be something that makes

69
00:03:07.980 --> 00:03:10.019
relationships a little bit complicated

70
00:03:10.019 --> 00:03:12.239
friendships or even like relationships

71
00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:14.099
in your family or like romantic

72
00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:17.280
relationships so friending and

73
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.319
unfriending following and unfollowing

74
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.319
can be kind of an interesting uh part of

75
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.739
using social media so we use unfollow in

76
00:03:25.739 --> 00:03:28.560
past tense as unfollowed okay

77
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.680
let's go to the next one to mute this

78
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.459
verb to mute is interesting because you

79
00:03:35.459 --> 00:03:38.700
use mute when you want to stop seeing

80
00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:40.680
someone's information like you want to

81
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.480
stop seeing tweets or you want to stop

82
00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:44.940
seeing Instagram posts from someone but

83
00:03:44.940 --> 00:03:48.120
you do not want to unfollow that person

84
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.239
so maybe for example someone has a big

85
00:03:51.239 --> 00:03:53.640
event coming up and they're sharing lots

86
00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:55.140
and lots of promotional information

87
00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:57.840
about their event on their like

88
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.280
Instagram account or their Twitter

89
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.940
account and you feel like so so like

90
00:04:02.940 --> 00:04:05.220
tired of seeing the same information

91
00:04:05.220 --> 00:04:08.819
about that you might mute that person so

92
00:04:08.819 --> 00:04:11.819
that means you just turn off their

93
00:04:11.819 --> 00:04:14.400
updates but you're still following that

94
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.639
person so you can you can unmute the

95
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.339
opposite of this is unmute just as with

96
00:04:20.339 --> 00:04:23.460
unfriend and unfollow so to mute someone

97
00:04:23.460 --> 00:04:26.279
means just to turn off their updates

98
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.040
without unfollowing them and to mute

99
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.860
means to enable seeing their information

100
00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:34.500
again so you never unfollow the person

101
00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:36.839
you just choose to stop seeing their

102
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.479
updates and you don't want to like cause

103
00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:41.639
any problems maybe in your relationship

104
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.520
so mute can be a good way to like save a

105
00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:46.620
relationship online a social media

106
00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:48.660
relationship online with someone who

107
00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:51.360
posts a lot or maybe they just share a

108
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.100
lot of things that you're not interested

109
00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:55.080
in but you want to be their friend or

110
00:04:55.080 --> 00:04:57.360
their co-worker or whatever so this is

111
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.839
to mute and the opposite to unmute for

112
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.259
example I had to mute my co-worker his

113
00:05:04.259 --> 00:05:06.360
posts were annoying so maybe you know

114
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.520
someone like that they post a lot of

115
00:05:08.520 --> 00:05:10.800
stuff that's not very interesting for

116
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.020
you you might choose to mute that person

117
00:05:13.020 --> 00:05:17.160
okay the next verb here is to block to

118
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.120
block so we use block to stop someone

119
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.600
from seeing our updates so if there's a

120
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.940
strange person that tries to follow you

121
00:05:26.940 --> 00:05:28.860
or maybe you have a really bad

122
00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:31.080
relationship with someone or maybe you

123
00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:32.880
have a breakup and you decide you don't

124
00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:34.919
want that person to see your information

125
00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:38.339
you can choose to block a person to

126
00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:41.580
block a person past tense blocked so I

127
00:05:41.580 --> 00:05:43.800
blocked a strange account that was

128
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.900
sending me pictures so a strange account

129
00:05:45.900 --> 00:05:48.479
was sending me lots of pictures they

130
00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:50.580
were like really not good pictures they

131
00:05:50.580 --> 00:05:53.639
were not what I want to see and I don't

132
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.919
know the person so I blocked the account

133
00:05:55.919 --> 00:05:57.900
they can't send me information anymore

134
00:05:57.900 --> 00:06:01.080
and they can't see my updates either so

135
00:06:01.080 --> 00:06:03.180
this is to block someone

136
00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:05.160
okay the next one this is very

137
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.139
interesting because this is actually a

138
00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:10.320
symbol two at is how we read this to at

139
00:06:10.320 --> 00:06:14.160
so to at someone means to include their

140
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.100
username in a comment or in a post or

141
00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:19.160
something you're essentially

142
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.600
notifying that person first you're

143
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.520
notifying that person that you're making

144
00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:25.440
some comment about them or you're

145
00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:27.259
including them in a post of some kind

146
00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:31.080
and other people who see that post can

147
00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:32.880
click on the link can click on the

148
00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:33.960
username

149
00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:36.839
to find that person's profile so for

150
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.979
example if your username is like ABC it

151
00:06:40.979 --> 00:06:45.000
would look like at Mark a b c

152
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.060
and when you act someone like if I want

153
00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:51.000
to at ABC I would include it in my

154
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.880
Instagram post or whatever and then I

155
00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:57.419
can see and then ABC person ABC can

156
00:06:57.419 --> 00:07:00.000
receive the information that I'm sharing

157
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.400
about them and other people can be

158
00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:05.699
linked to ABC so this is called to act

159
00:07:05.699 --> 00:07:08.400
someone to include their username in a

160
00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:11.160
comment or to reply to that person with

161
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.039
their username so you will often see

162
00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:17.940
this expression right here don't at me

163
00:07:17.940 --> 00:07:21.419
don't at me so people often use this

164
00:07:21.419 --> 00:07:24.120
when they share a very strong opinion

165
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.060
about something like

166
00:07:27.060 --> 00:07:29.280
um pepperoni pizza is the best pizza

167
00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:32.099
don't at me so that means I don't want

168
00:07:32.099 --> 00:07:34.440
to hear your responses so that means

169
00:07:34.440 --> 00:07:37.979
don't put my username in a reply to this

170
00:07:37.979 --> 00:07:40.860
don't reply to me with your opinions

171
00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:43.020
because this is my opinion and I have a

172
00:07:43.020 --> 00:07:45.419
strong opinion about it so we often use

173
00:07:45.419 --> 00:07:47.880
this in a joking way but sometimes

174
00:07:47.880 --> 00:07:50.280
you'll hear it in a more serious way too

175
00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:52.560
most of the time I feel like we're kind

176
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.960
of joking or teasing about something so

177
00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:57.360
this is what at means and we read the

178
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.039
symbol AS at

179
00:07:59.039 --> 00:08:01.500
okay let's go on to the next group then

180
00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:04.259
the next group is to tag or to untag

181
00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:07.139
someone to tag or untag someone is used

182
00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:10.500
a lot in photos so on Instagram if we

183
00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:12.300
share a photo and there are people in

184
00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:15.300
the photo we can select the people and

185
00:08:15.300 --> 00:08:17.940
add their username we can act the person

186
00:08:17.940 --> 00:08:20.819
in the photo so when we click on the

187
00:08:20.819 --> 00:08:21.720
photo

188
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.080
we can see all of the people or all of

189
00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:27.539
the accounts that are tagged in the

190
00:08:27.539 --> 00:08:30.180
photo so to tag someone means to Mark

191
00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:32.700
someone in a photo or in a post you can

192
00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:35.940
tag someone in a post the opposite is to

193
00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:39.360
untag that means to remove a tag from a

194
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.059
photo so in an example sentence don't

195
00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:44.760
tag me in the photo so maybe there's an

196
00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:48.179
embarrassing photo of you or for some

197
00:08:48.179 --> 00:08:51.000
reason you don't want to be included in

198
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.040
the information of the photo you can say

199
00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:57.059
don't tag me in the photo or I untagged

200
00:08:57.059 --> 00:09:00.120
in past tense I untagged myself from the

201
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.700
photo so to tag is to include yourself

202
00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:05.880
in a post or in a photo or something or

203
00:09:05.880 --> 00:09:09.300
to include another person and to untag

204
00:09:09.300 --> 00:09:11.760
means to remove yourself so what's the

205
00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:14.820
difference between tag and at to at is a

206
00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:16.679
written message to at someone is a

207
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.440
written message and to tag someone is

208
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.140
like just to include someone in the post

209
00:09:22.140 --> 00:09:25.380
or to note that someone appeared in a

210
00:09:25.380 --> 00:09:27.779
photo somewhere so to add someone is

211
00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:29.820
like to include some kind of written

212
00:09:29.820 --> 00:09:31.740
comment okay

213
00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:34.380
the next one is to report to report so

214
00:09:34.380 --> 00:09:35.940
when you see something strange

215
00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:39.120
suspicious or there's like harassment or

216
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.540
something inappropriate you can report a

217
00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:46.260
post I've just used post as a noun post

218
00:09:46.260 --> 00:09:48.300
is anything that's on the internet any

219
00:09:48.300 --> 00:09:51.300
like one update on social media is a

220
00:09:51.300 --> 00:09:55.260
post so you can report a post for some

221
00:09:55.260 --> 00:09:56.279
reason

222
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.339
so that means you want to share with the

223
00:09:59.339 --> 00:10:01.380
administrators that there's some kind of

224
00:10:01.380 --> 00:10:04.559
problem with this post for example I

225
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.740
reported an account for spam I reported

226
00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:10.740
an account for spam in this case it's an

227
00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:13.620
account not just a post but one user's

228
00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:17.640
account is sharing lots of spam so spam

229
00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:19.260
means lots and lots of junk information

230
00:10:19.260 --> 00:10:21.019
or they're sending lots of maybe

231
00:10:21.019 --> 00:10:23.820
advertisements I didn't request this is

232
00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:26.279
Spam this is junk so I reported past

233
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.519
tense reported the account for spam

234
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.339
you'll notice we use four here plus a

235
00:10:32.339 --> 00:10:36.240
noun phrase a reported an account for

236
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.540
spam so this shows us the reason we

237
00:10:39.540 --> 00:10:40.740
reported

238
00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:43.140
all right so this leads us to the next

239
00:10:43.140 --> 00:10:46.980
vocabulary word which is to spam to spam

240
00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:50.640
so spam can be used as a noun yes to

241
00:10:50.640 --> 00:10:55.019
mean junk and we can use Spam as a verb

242
00:10:55.019 --> 00:10:58.200
when we use Spam as a verb it means we

243
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.140
share a lot of information like at one

244
00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:03.720
time maybe in 15 minutes we make lots of

245
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.000
posts about the same topic or we share

246
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.679
lots of tweets about the same thing

247
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.339
we're spamming someone's timeline so the

248
00:11:11.339 --> 00:11:15.240
timeline is that row of updates that you

249
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.279
see when you enter Facebook or Instagram

250
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.279
or Twitter all of the updates that you

251
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.320
can look at that's called the timeline

252
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.559
so to spam someone's timeline means just

253
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.958
to share a lot of stuff at the same time

254
00:11:27.958 --> 00:11:31.200
so it's a negative thing generally for

255
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.200
example that guy always spams my

256
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.600
timeline with junk maybe you know

257
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.700
somebody who like promotes a lot of

258
00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.380
things or maybe there's a brand you

259
00:11:40.380 --> 00:11:42.899
follow that has this specific promotion

260
00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:45.720
style they share a lot of information so

261
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.860
you can call that spamming spamming

262
00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:52.920
verb is to repost to repost is how we

263
00:11:52.920 --> 00:11:55.440
say this not repost but re-post to

264
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.260
repost to repost means to post again to

265
00:11:58.260 --> 00:12:01.320
post again so this is sharing something

266
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.519
again that you shared in the past so

267
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.800
this is different from retweet I'll talk

268
00:12:07.800 --> 00:12:09.958
about in a minute to repost means to

269
00:12:09.958 --> 00:12:12.540
share something again so maybe on

270
00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:14.640
Instagram you have a favorite photo or a

271
00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:17.279
photo you shared a few years ago and you

272
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.440
want to share that photo again you can

273
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.200
say I'm reposting this photo or I

274
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.860
reposted this thing another example I

275
00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:28.980
might repost the information about my

276
00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:31.679
event so I might share this thing that I

277
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.920
shared before I might repost something

278
00:12:34.920 --> 00:12:38.700
okay the next two verbs are specifically

279
00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:42.420
for Twitter so they are to tweet and to

280
00:12:42.420 --> 00:12:45.899
retweet so to tweet means to share an

281
00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:47.880
update on Twitter to write something on

282
00:12:47.880 --> 00:12:50.940
Twitter or to include in your post a

283
00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:53.820
picture or a link whatever anything you

284
00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:56.940
write on Twitter is a tweet one as a

285
00:12:56.940 --> 00:12:59.458
noun and we also describe the act of

286
00:12:59.458 --> 00:13:01.559
using Twitter like to share information

287
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.920
as tweeting so I'm tweeting that means

288
00:13:04.920 --> 00:13:06.660
I'm sharing something on my Twitter

289
00:13:06.660 --> 00:13:09.600
account for example you tweet too much

290
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.639
you tweet too much so that means you

291
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.980
share too much information on Twitter

292
00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:17.399
you tweet too much so too much in terms

293
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.559
of frequency you tweet too much

294
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:24.360
then to retweet or to quote tweet means

295
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:29.040
to share someone else's tweet or you can

296
00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:32.700
share your own tweet again so it's kind

297
00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:35.399
of like reposting sort of but generally

298
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.860
when we say repost we mean creating

299
00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:41.040
another post with the same information

300
00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:44.100
you had before with retweet it's like

301
00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:46.800
we're just we're refreshing kind of we

302
00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:48.600
see something that someone else wrote

303
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.700
that we like and we want to share we can

304
00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:53.339
retweet that information and it shares

305
00:13:53.339 --> 00:13:56.279
on our timeline to the people who follow

306
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.000
us but that's not quite reposting so

307
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.059
reposting is taking some content from

308
00:14:03.059 --> 00:14:04.920
the past or from another person's post

309
00:14:04.920 --> 00:14:08.279
and making a new post with that thing so

310
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.200
retweeting is like sharing on Twitter

311
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.279
really

312
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.360
you might also see quote tweet or QT so

313
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.820
to quote tweet means to find a tweet you

314
00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:19.500
like or to find a tweet you want to

315
00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:23.339
share and quote it inside your Tweet so

316
00:14:23.339 --> 00:14:25.860
we can see the original text maybe the

317
00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:27.959
original thing that someone else shared

318
00:14:27.959 --> 00:14:30.360
or maybe that you share and you want to

319
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.880
quote that and add an extra comment or

320
00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:35.519
maybe add a link so we call that a quote

321
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.220
tweet or as a verb we can say to quote

322
00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:39.600
Tweet someone

323
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.000
for example thanks for retweeting me

324
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.639
thanks for retweeting me okay

325
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.880
this next one is to like to like so I

326
00:14:47.880 --> 00:14:50.459
think every social media platform now

327
00:14:50.459 --> 00:14:53.639
has the like function on Facebook it's a

328
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.260
thumbs up or we can choose many

329
00:14:55.260 --> 00:14:58.019
different reactions now on Facebook on

330
00:14:58.019 --> 00:15:00.060
Twitter they are Hearts it used to be

331
00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:02.459
called favorites on Twitter on Instagram

332
00:15:02.459 --> 00:15:05.699
it's likes also or maybe just the heart

333
00:15:05.699 --> 00:15:10.320
uh uh symbol too but we use like to like

334
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.180
something to like something and of

335
00:15:12.180 --> 00:15:14.699
course if you want to remove a like you

336
00:15:14.699 --> 00:15:17.100
can say to unlike something to unlike

337
00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:18.000
something

338
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.060
but generally when we like something it

339
00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:23.220
stays there I think so to like something

340
00:15:23.220 --> 00:15:25.860
just means to mark that you liked a

341
00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:27.720
poster you liked tweet you liked a

342
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.240
picture on Instagram for example she

343
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.339
liked my post or he liked my post so

344
00:15:32.339 --> 00:15:34.320
that's a very general thing

345
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.199
okay let's go to the next one which is

346
00:15:37.199 --> 00:15:41.459
to comment or to reply to comment or to

347
00:15:41.459 --> 00:15:45.540
reply so we can use either of these to

348
00:15:45.540 --> 00:15:49.139
talk about responses to someone's post

349
00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:52.019
so this is a bit different from this one

350
00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:55.560
to at because when we act someone we

351
00:15:55.560 --> 00:15:57.720
include their username

352
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.420
in in our comment or in our reply or

353
00:16:00.420 --> 00:16:03.779
whatever uh to uh like send them a

354
00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:07.920
notification about this so not always is

355
00:16:07.920 --> 00:16:10.440
an at like a comment or a reply they

356
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:11.760
might sometimes they are the same

357
00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:13.800
sometimes they are different if for

358
00:16:13.800 --> 00:16:16.560
example you write a comment on my post

359
00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:18.480
like I make a post about my favorite

360
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.120
pizza and I say don't at me or something

361
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.600
and you comment or you reply

362
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.779
directly to my post that would be you're

363
00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:30.420
adding me yes and you're commenting or

364
00:16:30.420 --> 00:16:33.360
you're replying so but in cases where um

365
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.540
the poster is talking about someone else

366
00:16:36.540 --> 00:16:39.660
for example you might comment or you

367
00:16:39.660 --> 00:16:42.720
might reply to the original poster and

368
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:44.339
you don't want to mention the other

369
00:16:44.339 --> 00:16:47.399
person so you do not include their at

370
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.320
that you don't include their handle so

371
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.779
you're not adding the other person if

372
00:16:51.779 --> 00:16:53.880
that makes sense you can comment and

373
00:16:53.880 --> 00:16:56.279
reply to the original poster and you

374
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.680
don't have to at another person in the

375
00:16:58.680 --> 00:16:59.820
conversation

376
00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:02.699
so this is a case where uh comment and

377
00:17:02.699 --> 00:17:04.799
reply might not be mean the same thing

378
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.540
as to act some

379
00:17:06.540 --> 00:17:08.939
so to comment or to reply to something

380
00:17:08.939 --> 00:17:12.419
is to reply to a post to comment on a

381
00:17:12.419 --> 00:17:14.459
post so those are the two prepositions

382
00:17:14.459 --> 00:17:19.380
we use to comment on a post to reply to

383
00:17:19.380 --> 00:17:22.619
a post or to reply to someone so reply

384
00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:25.740
to comment on those are the prepositions

385
00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:29.520
we use for example I get so many useless

386
00:17:29.520 --> 00:17:33.240
comments on my posts so you can use

387
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.900
comment uh more I feel like on Facebook

388
00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:40.919
or on Instagram and we use reply a lot

389
00:17:40.919 --> 00:17:43.260
on Twitter but you may hear reply used

390
00:17:43.260 --> 00:17:46.080
on Instagram from time to time too

391
00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:49.380
okay the next verb is to edit to edit

392
00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:51.840
something means to change something we

393
00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:54.359
do not have an edit feature on Twitter

394
00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:56.460
at the time of making this video anyway

395
00:17:56.460 --> 00:17:59.340
but we do have an edit feature on

396
00:17:59.340 --> 00:18:02.220
Instagram and on Facebook so to edit

397
00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:04.919
means to make a change to your post if

398
00:18:04.919 --> 00:18:07.440
you find like a mistake or if you

399
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.480
realize you need to share some more

400
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.660
information or remove some information

401
00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:15.000
you can edit your post you can edit like

402
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.460
the text in your post or remove a photo

403
00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:19.980
or include a photo or something for

404
00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:22.799
example I need to edit that post so if

405
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:24.600
you found a mistake or you're missing

406
00:18:24.600 --> 00:18:27.480
information so to edit something

407
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:29.640
okay the next one is an important word

408
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.760
for uh social media in general this Mark

409
00:18:32.760 --> 00:18:37.440
is read as hashtag hashtag so hashtags

410
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.400
are used to make categories for your

411
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.400
posts hashtags are used a lot on

412
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.280
Instagram so for example if I make a

413
00:18:47.280 --> 00:18:50.460
post on my Instagram about this lesson

414
00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:54.000
I might write hashtag English class 101

415
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.859
so that means everything that's every

416
00:18:58.859 --> 00:19:01.020
post rather every post that has this

417
00:19:01.020 --> 00:19:03.780
hashtag English class 101 is somehow

418
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:07.080
connected to our lessons and our content

419
00:19:07.080 --> 00:19:08.880
or maybe our YouTube channel or our

420
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:11.940
website so everything with that hashtag

421
00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:15.179
has some relationship to this topic

422
00:19:15.179 --> 00:19:18.059
English class 101 or if I want to talk

423
00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:19.679
about my favorite movie I could write

424
00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:21.600
hashtag you know my favorite movie or

425
00:19:21.600 --> 00:19:23.880
hashtag the name of the movie I just saw

426
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.179
like The Lion King so hashtags are used

427
00:19:27.179 --> 00:19:29.520
so that we can search for other posts

428
00:19:29.520 --> 00:19:32.940
that have the same topic you might also

429
00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:36.240
see a hashtag like this Hughes so TBT

430
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:39.179
this is a very popular hashtag TBT

431
00:19:39.179 --> 00:19:41.119
stands for

432
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.160
Throwback Thursday

433
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:46.380
this is an example of a common like

434
00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:50.100
social media Trend so maybe every day of

435
00:19:50.100 --> 00:19:52.200
the week There's a different Trend you

436
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.200
can participate in on social media TBT

437
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.600
or throwback Thursday is a very popular

438
00:19:57.600 --> 00:20:00.660
one so as you can guess this happens on

439
00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:03.900
Thursday and throwback means we're

440
00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:07.080
looking back so to throw back is a

441
00:20:07.080 --> 00:20:10.020
casual way to mean to look back like in

442
00:20:10.020 --> 00:20:12.119
a happy way on something from the past

443
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:14.820
so we share a post from the past on

444
00:20:14.820 --> 00:20:18.539
Thursday and tag it TBT so I've just

445
00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:22.320
used tag here to tag something with a

446
00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:24.840
hashtag we can do this as well so you

447
00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:28.380
can tag it TBT or hashtag TBT

448
00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:31.859
uh so this is how we use hashtags and we

449
00:20:31.859 --> 00:20:34.500
use the word hashtag to express this

450
00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:36.059
Mark okay

451
00:20:36.059 --> 00:20:38.400
the next verb is to scroll to scroll

452
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.039
refers to this motion so as you look on

453
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.160
your phone or on your computer or your

454
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.039
tablet whatever this motion if you're on

455
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.799
your phone or a tablet a touch device is

456
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:51.840
scrolling if you use a mouse you just

457
00:20:51.840 --> 00:20:54.840
move the mouse roll the mouse ball down

458
00:20:54.840 --> 00:20:57.660
the screen whatever so this motion

459
00:20:57.660 --> 00:20:59.820
moving the information from the top of

460
00:20:59.820 --> 00:21:01.980
the screen to the bottom is called to

461
00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:05.580
scroll to scroll so I scrolled Twitter

462
00:21:05.580 --> 00:21:08.580
for hours yesterday so past tense

463
00:21:08.580 --> 00:21:10.919
scrolled I scrolled Twitter for hours

464
00:21:10.919 --> 00:21:13.080
yesterday or I scrolled Instagram for

465
00:21:13.080 --> 00:21:15.840
three hours yesterday so that means just

466
00:21:15.840 --> 00:21:18.059
looking at the information on your

467
00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:19.260
timeline

468
00:21:19.260 --> 00:21:23.100
okay the next key word is Emoji Emoji so

469
00:21:23.100 --> 00:21:26.640
Emoji are those little faces or like the

470
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:28.440
little characters the little pictures

471
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:31.380
that we can use in text messages and in

472
00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:33.840
the text in our posts on social media

473
00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:36.780
these are called Emoji in English

474
00:21:36.780 --> 00:21:40.140
for example I don't like using emoji so

475
00:21:40.140 --> 00:21:41.760
some people really like them some people

476
00:21:41.760 --> 00:21:43.859
don't like to use them so much it's up

477
00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:46.619
to you Emoji is the word we use to talk

478
00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:47.880
about those

479
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.580
okay the last word for this lesson is

480
00:21:50.580 --> 00:21:53.400
recent slang and this is specific for

481
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:57.240
Twitter it is to get ratio to get

482
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.900
ratioed to get ratioed means to receive

483
00:22:00.900 --> 00:22:06.539
a huge number of replies to a post but

484
00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:10.080
the ratio or the number of replies is

485
00:22:10.080 --> 00:22:13.200
much much larger than the people who

486
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:15.179
shared it or the people who liked the

487
00:22:15.179 --> 00:22:17.280
post so for example

488
00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:20.159
this user we might say about this user

489
00:22:20.159 --> 00:22:23.760
that guy got ratioed so this post this

490
00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:27.119
is the user maybe the user name is weird

491
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.880
opinion for example anyway the post is

492
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.460
food is bad food is bad so this is a

493
00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:35.340
very unpopular opinion or maybe a bad

494
00:22:35.340 --> 00:22:38.940
opinion so the number of replies in this

495
00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:43.440
example is 1 322. a lot of replies the

496
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.480
number of retweets so times people

497
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.740
shared the Tweet 16 and 29 likes on the

498
00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:52.799
post so in this example there are so

499
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.559
many replies here but there are so few

500
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.960
people who wanted to share or who maybe

501
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.720
liked or agreed with this post we call

502
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.320
this a ratio so on Twitter it's like a

503
00:23:04.320 --> 00:23:07.799
Twitter slang to get ratio that guy got

504
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.159
ratioed so lots of people replied to say

505
00:23:11.159 --> 00:23:14.039
that this was not a good opinion so this

506
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.080
is a unique expression that we use on

507
00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:17.880
Twitter we do not use this this on

508
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:19.919
Instagram or on Facebook but you may see

509
00:23:19.919 --> 00:23:22.440
this on Twitter from time to time so

510
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.359
those are some Expressions that you can

511
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:26.700
use for social media of course there are

512
00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:29.159
some more so if you know more or if

513
00:23:29.159 --> 00:23:30.840
you've come across some recent social

514
00:23:30.840 --> 00:23:33.299
media slang please feel free to include

515
00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:35.760
