    I’m not normally keen on mentioning people’s spelling and grammar mistakes, but if they’re going to be dickheads about the language everyone is speaking while writing “your a dumbass”, “has major issue”, and “germen” then it’s another matter


  • And to explain the connection a little further:

    • “Al” stayed the same, obviously
    • The “arismi” bit was influenced by Greek “arithmos”
    • The “Khw” bit went through several sound changes, going from Khwa > Kho > Go

    The name “Al-Khwarezmi” is also basically just “of Khwarezmia” in the first place, so the entire time we have been naming the way youtube decides what to show you after a place in Uzbekistan
