Again I have dyslexia and it happens. People without dyslexia don't quite understand, we're in a whole different world where our brain just functions so much differently and it's just so hard to explain to people and it really affects our day-to-day life at little moments and if we don't catch it we make oopsies. Plus we're all only human. So please don't be so hard on yourself. Just continue on. Continue being strong. And keep doing the hard amazing work that you do. I've always been a big history buff it's the one thing I'm good at because of my dyslexia and to watch your videos I feel like I'm brushing up on stuff and I learn stuff that I didn't know that I thought I should have known.

    I've always thought of Princess Charlotte and her son as one of the great "what ifs" of English history. No Victoria, no Windsors and most of the royal houses of Europe would also look a lot different. Thanks for the clear outline

    • @sarasamaletdin4574
      @sarasamaletdin4574 Год назад +5

      Well there would not be Windsor’s the same way there are now regarding people. But the royal house would have become Saxe coburg and gotha anyway since Leopold and Albert were from the same house as said here! And presumably the alternative house would have also renamed itself due to WWI and Windsor probably would have been one of the suggestions then too, although there were others now as well.
      I think the main difference could have been that the German Kaiser and Russian Tsar’s would have been different men and those rulers still had power. So maybe WWI would have gone differently.

So every emotion, no matter how profound is forgotten, as are the people who experienced them. How very depressing.

But numbers don't convey much, so maths in any form is a struggle.

      I'm not bad. But I am mad. I don't have dyslexia. I have adhd, PTSD and borderline personality disorder. I struggle with being happy and content. When I typed that post, I was feeling great. I had things under control. I was performing tasks and getting stuff done. I felt in sufficient control of my challenges to embrace the parts of me that make me unique. Dr. Cat inspired me. She shows that she can rock in history whilst dealing with dyslexia.My inattentiveness can get me in to trouble. My hyperfocus can be an asset. Anyway; I am going through a rough patch at the moment. Major depressive episodes. All my shortcoming are plainly obvious. Really struggling but coping. And then I read your reply. You are right. I am mad! Being neurodiverse sucks. It's falling down and getting up. Every day and it never ends. Realising that no matter how optimistic I try to be; I will never amount to anything! Thank you for reminding me. Seems that fate and youtube have a knack of putting me in my place and reminding me that I don't 'rock'. I suck! My life sucks. I was probably manic at that time. What a difference 7 months can make. One thing though: be more uplifting to your dyslexic students. Positive reinforcement is a thing in education that you probably missed in the past 60 years and they don't need that negativity. They already deal with dyslexia as it is. I hope their parents don't hear you say that to them.

      When playing with an instrumental group (recorders, the vertical flute), the musician who was coaching us told us that if we hit the wrong note, we should always look around at everybody else and look shocked that anybody would make such a mistake.
      Once we were sight-reading a piece of some unfamiliar "modern" music for recorders and I was playing the alto part. I finished several measures before everybody else. Turned out that I was playing an entirely different piece in the book than the rest of the group. Nobody noticed! The music was that ... odd. We didn't try again.

I have ADHD and when I tell people it's:'oh that's just a fad, you are just lazy and forgetful' and try as I might; some people have already made up their preconceptions and not willing to understand. So instead of saying :" oh I forgot, again!" I sometimes turn it into: 'are you sure? Well, tell me then?' But not always! 'Masking' should be used sparingly😊

    Good Dr. Cat, the "error blindness" you describe is quite common. It's part of why I have a job--as an editor. When someone has put a lot of work into a piece of writing, for whatever medium, they will get to a place where they've just looked at it so much that they stop seeing it, or at least stop seeing the details. This is where a fresh set of eyes (mine, for instance) is helpful, or putting the piece aside for a while until you can see the details again. Sometimes there is no time to employ the latter strategy.
    I haven't done video editing, but I imagine the principle is the same. Certainly I've spotted errors in on-screen text (not yours!), particularly in spelling. And that from outfits with the budgets to pay for those extra eyes.
    Being diligent about researching your material and posting any necessary corrections rates as so admirable in these days of ghastly grammar, bizarre overuse of capital letters in the midst of sentences, the vagaries of "auto-incorrect", and a blizzard of misinformation and outright lies that you deserve a trophy, not squidgy feelings of guilt.
    To err is human. You do good work.

    Thank you for the correction, but don't worry too much about it. You are right that we all make slips like that even when we work very hard at editing. Wait till you are thirty years along in age!!

    Mistakes like switches in centuries are so common and happen to all of us! I imagine its especially likely for you, not only because of dyslexia, but also that you jump around centuries a lot, and do a lot of content that is set in the 16th century. We are all human, and all we can do when mistakes happen is own up to it and fix it as well as we can. This is a fantastic example of that, and part of what makes me attracted to your content. You have real integrity. It is also an example of how humans have always been human, both in the past and now, which is what makes studying history so fascinating. We have always made mistakes!

    I am a big fan, although I have never commented before now. First, thank you for such well thought out and presented videos making history, and all it's twists and turns, understandable and even more interesting. Second, if someone gave you grief for the date "flub", well let's just say that is very unwelcome input. You do a fantastic job which is made all the more impressive by your overcoming the dyslexia obstacle.
    Thank you again for sharing your talent, expertise, and lovely personality with all of us.

    I really need to start heeding Dr. Kat's advice regarding making sure that my notifications are on. Her videos are one of the few things I look forward to, and if this hadn't randomly shown up with my feed, I wouldn't know that it was up! I'm getting a little bit at what RUclips showing me things that I'm not interested in, but possibly making me miss things I am.

  • @cschless6093
    @cschless6093 2 года назад +2

    I absolutely adore your videos and look forward to them each and every time you post! Please don’t attack yourself for a silly date mistake- newspapers have tons of editors and they still have to print retractions and corrections!
    If you can, could you add a video of diseases sometimes- you mentioned dropsy as a cause of death here and I would love to know more about that along with things like gout and sweating sickness and similar and all the ways they were treated.

    Thank you in advance for your upcoming video on "The Kensington System." It is one of my favorite bits of Victoria's early life to learn about. I am only sorry she had to live through it.
    Also, please don't worry about making a mistake. You fixed it as soon as you found out about it, so it's time to let go of it. Don't let it weigh upon you. That only slows you down. Thanks for the apology, but you have enough to work on without letting a corrected mistake worry you.
    P.S. Love you and your content, Dr Kat!

    I'm finally getting around to catching up with all your videos. ❤️
    Please don't apologise for date slip ups. You correct them as you go, so are not ignoring them. Making a RUclips video is not a carefully curated and edited document that has many retakes and edits. The best part about these videos is the rawness and simplicity of them. Information content vs entertaining content. It's nice to watch something that is over produced!
    I am Dyslexic and have ADD. I failed at high school. I was in the English class that people who speak a 2nd language are in when I come from a long generation of Australian/ scholars. My lack of ability to read and write till later on, did not squash my interest in history. It's been a passion since I was 10 (I'm now 40) I picked up a book, I kinda read it but didn't absorb it. But the story it showed lit a spark.
    Keep up the brilliant work. Your short informative videos are sublime ❤️

    I hope no one was condescending about the dates on that video! Very easy mistake, and not a really big deal. I noticed, but I knew it was probably a consequence of talking about the 16th and 17th century for a lot of your videos, and anyone who had any idea of the Georgian era would know you meant 1790s.
    I’ve completely forgotten time zones exist before, and looking at an itinerary, wondered why our Seattle-> Texas flight would take longer than our Texas-> Seattle flight 🤦‍♀️

    I also wanted to comment on all the loss that endured over the ages. I myself have tragically lost my daughter in late 3rd trimester stillbirth, a son in early trimester miscarriage and triplets, two boys and a girl in 2nd trimester. After my first loss I was so bereft. I was drowning in sorrow though I had my 18mth old son. Any type of early miscarriage, pregnancy or infant loss was taboo even 25 years ago. I can imagine how terrible it was decades and centuries ago. I became a Bereavement Counselor for families who've lost children (early miscarriage to age 2). It is the single most tragic thing that can happen to a parent. We never expect to bury our children. My heart goes out to each and every woman who has suffered a loss whether it be known or not. I have been down this bumpy and winding road. I strive to stand beside each person who experiences a loss. In early days the family may have just started preparing. We send a memory box home because that is all they have. We provide funerals for these babies up to 20 weeks. (After 20 weeks it is deemed a still birth and a funeral home then buries the infant). I still walk the path with them as a guide, as a hand to hold or to pick you up when the weight is too much to bear alone. My message to all families who have suffered a loss is that we will never forget. We will strive to have faith and to know that our children were a gift and there is a specific purpose. We strive to give you Hope, Love and one day Closure and Peace. Know that you are not alone! From a mother's heart to yours, I send you warm hugs and Love so that you can withstand the journey ahead. ❤️‍🩹😇😢💔
