Things You Ought to Know has a funny YouTube channel where folks write in and ask how things work. They research the topic and put out a video like this one on the “Things We Say Wrong.” It’s funny and informative and presented in Art of Eloquence style.

People often mistakenly think that communication is just about the words we speak, but nothing could be further from the truth. Without words, we can still communicate and words alone can deceive. This video is a song called More than Words by Extreme. I don’t know anything about the band, but I like what this song says. It takes more than “I love you” to show someone you do. Anyone can say the words, but to truly convey love takes much “More than Words.”

I found Songdrops while tooling around on YouTube one day. They have some adorable videos and this one has to do with language. Sometimes we say things which are grammatically or otherwise correct, but they are not the most clear way to communicate-thus causing miscommunication or, as in this case, hysterics.
On this Friday Funnies, I present to you, “I Got a Pea.”

I am pre -empting my “A Question of Homeschooling” series of articles this week for a word from This Day in History because it has to do with communication… Tune in to Communication FUNdamentals on Wednesday when we will join our homeschool article series already in progress. ;D
There are many different forms of communication. Words are just what is most often considered. Many an invention has enhanced our communication experience and I’d like to tell you about one of them today. You see, on this day in history is the anniversary of a significant communication event!
The first public telegraph message, “What hath God wrought,” was sent on May 24, 1844 by Samuel Morse in Washington to Alfred Vail at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) “outer depot” (now the B&O Railroad Museum) in Baltimore. The message is a Bible verse from Numbers 23:23, chosen for Morse by Annie Ellsworth, daughter of the Governor of Connecticut. The original paper tape received by Vail in Baltimore is on display in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
Here’s a YouTube video of a documentary I found which has the history (and the two men) behind the telegraph and Morse Code. I bet you didn’t know some of this. I didn’t!

Mark Gungor is a pastor and a very funny man, but mostly he knows about men and women. Listen to this fabulous and funny video telling wives, “How to get your husband to do what you want.”

Sometimes life can be a little more complicated these days making it somewhat difficult to share. See if you can follow along so you know who everyone is and how they are related.
