NUMPIRE, NAPRON, NEWT and other words we're getting wrong

Did you know an umpire should actually be “a numpire“? What's more... an apron should be “a napron“, an adder “a nadder“, a newt “an ewt“, and a nickname “an ickname“. This video explains why on earth that is. For centuries, English scholars have been accidentally “rebracketing“ words (it's also known as “metanalysis“). Many of their mistakes have stuck in the language, meaning we continue to get these words wrong. ===CHAPTERS=== 0:00 Numpire, napron & nadder 0:27 Explanation of rebracketing 1:20 Newt & nickname 1:44 Evidence in other languages 2:06 Errors that didn't catch on 2:24 Bye bye
