      Clearly. That’s still in no way the primary intended use of YouTube because, you know, video?

      You over redundant lossless head!

        Lets read my statement back, abridged

        its primary use … to me.

        Is this like a sentence structure that doesnt exist in other languages or were a nonnegligible number of lemmings homeschooled?

          I mean, it’s obvious what you meant, but that’s still awful grammar on your part.

          When read properly, your wording means that you are stating that YouTubes’ primary use is music, which is useless to you.

          Getting to your actual meaning requires interpreting around the literal meaning of what you wrote.

      Fun little piece of trivia: Originally, nimrod used to mean “skillful hunter” (after Nimrod, the biblical figure) but then in 1940 Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod", and kids of the time not knowing the reference, simply assumed it was an insult on Elmer’s character.

      And that’s how a cartoon rabbit single handedly changed the meaning of a word.
