      @@harryspringfield6970 Lol don't be butthurt, Keyans have fast twitch fibers which means that it is hard to grow muscles, but that doesn't mean you can't be strong with very little muscle. Many Kenyans are pretty strong, don't judge a book by it's cover. And they're mostly 5'6 because of genetics, they were made to run. And just saying it was scientifcally proven a few years ago that every inch that you are over 5 feet is about half a year off your life lol.

    • @dryfruit9272
      @dryfruit9272 7 лет назад +22

      Wild Outdoor Living British people call "math" "maths" as a plural. The apostrophe was the "wrong part"
      Example (U.S.) I teach math.
      Example (UK) I teach maths.

    • @WildOutdoorLiving
      @WildOutdoorLiving 7 лет назад +5

      Yes, the apostrophe was what I was pointing out more than anything. That said he does live, teach and train in the United States so using Math without the S is probably the most appropriate. I had heard that some nations using the word maths though I guess I didn't know it was that prevalent.

      Wild Outdoor Living Yes, I can agree that they should have put "math" instead of "maths" into the title. However, almost all of the narrators that I've heard of on this channel have a British accent -- hence them most likely putting the British spelling instead.
