Why I left YouTube for some time: explaining everything 

No matter what we love you, Lucy 💜

Always support you 👍💖 I love your videos

Glad to see you Lucy!

problems are part of life....they come they go....but we ,the "Lucyfam" always loves you

Nice to see you again, Miss 🙏🏻

Thank you Rachel. It’s really lovely to see you here. Sending a massive hug x

If I could, I would like to give you a big hug... But unfortunately, it is not going to be possible... Sorry

Could I talk to you on Zoom Lucy? I have a big offer for you that you might like...

@@karrakushal 😏😏🤮🤮 there are enough workers for House keeping don't need to be imported you there and she is from uk

@@karrakushal u can't be an Indian... Since Indians r very talented, they r hired by many reputed countries for highest post... U might be from any undeveloped country.....

This. Plus I think you are going overboard with what other people think. You just do you.

It's a big true!!!! Her accent is very easy to understand, she is very didactics... Sharing important points and tips about English... I hope she will be back soon!

And she is also a great person! I always enjoy her videos, i've learnt a lot.

Continue please,you are great. This situation showed how humble you are recognizing that you can do things in a better way

I enjoy her lessons, but real feedback and crtiticism is always need to improve what we do

"Recreationally offended" I haven't heard that before but how true!

I'm not from UK, I'm from Brazil. But this is happening here too, but here things got a bit further... Some people are being arrested for speak against decisions from our Supreme Court... some youtubers and comedians are being sued literally for say their opinion on their channel or a show...

@@gabs6336 . It’s disgusting, it’s only going to get worse. We have to stop arguing with each other, we’re stronger together🇬🇧👍👍👍

you can claim this sure, but consider being a southerner of the US in a northern city. I had a cousin meet up with me in NYC from Alabama, and he had the worst time...a lot of people treated him like he was an idiot just because of his accent. I mean...if the connotation were I had to change my accent for people to take me seriously...I'd be miffed too. Nobody likes to be judged on dumb shit. My cousin owns 2 businesses! Successful guy! But people think his accent sounds "stupid" so he must be too.

@@Posit_Zero_Blue . But, doesn’t that say more about the intelligence of the people that judged his accent.I try not to have anything to do with negative people.

I totaly agree!!

Totally agree. The more you apology, The more hate and stupid people you will get.

I really hope she sees this as well! And thank you for such a lovely and encouraging comment.

She is really sensible and kind and she also has a huge heart... Maybe she needs to apologize, for herself, to feel herself better... But, actually , it is not necesary

Lucy, I always enjoy watching your video.

She needs to care for just her fans. She seems care for just one guy who doesn't like her video.

I prayed for her, Jesus has a power in heaven on the earth

Yes we call it cancel culture very disturbing and down Wright EVIL

@James Woolley I'm from China and now live in the UK. I hate to admit that "cancel culture" is actually quite a big issue in China and I'm totally disgusted by it (and I'm also disgusted by your attitude, "wooo, do you know nothing of history, wooo look at me, I know everything" ). But saying it's pure Maoist is debatable. As far as I'm concerned, China's "cancel culture" is substantially different from what people would have seen in the UK. In China, such culture is totally driven by political issues without a doubt. The government makes all the decisions and we just "listen". (To be honest, most of Chinese people aren't even bothered with any decisions made by the government, so long as it doesn't have dramatic impact on our everyday life. There is only one party in China, and people are doing well, but if it fks up, it fks up, blehhhhhhh). However, in the UK, I assume the situation is very similar to the US, the formation of "cancel culture" is due to the opinions or the use of language being perceived as offensive by others, especially the minorities (I'm Gaysian, so I belong to the group I suppose). I agree with neither of the "cultures". As long as, say, TV shows or comments are for purpose of entertainment, in most cases, I wouldn't mind "gay jokes" or "Asian jokes" (I find Piers Morgan imitating Chinese advert quite amusing actually. Because he imitates everybody not only Chinese people, there is no need to be offended). But I do think there is an invisible line that you shouldn't cross. Well, although both "cultures" are trying to force us into thinking and acting in the way that they think is correct, by definition, Maoism is an ideology developed to realise the objectives of CHINA, and now back to what you were discussing, "cancel culture" is a pure Maoist operation, if in China, I 100% agree. But wtf has it got anything to do with what's happening in your country? Obviously, you've given your "examples", but it does not establish any links between "cancel culture" in America and Confucius Institutes, a more detailed demonstration is needed for it to be called Maoist.

Will Perrin, No. Learning moment, as she states quite clearly. She hasn't been cancelled.

@@blainer5466 Right on.

@@Cu3oid I can only assume you didn't read my comment.

I totally agree !!!

I am totally agree with you.

That's the problem. Only 2-5% of British use the 'right' pronunciation. This is problematic because most ESL learners are exposed to an accent that almost nobody in the UK uses. And then go to the UK and understand nothing. Also, to make a carrier you have to lose your regional accent to be perceived as professional.

There's an old English saying that goes, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions".

I have a question. The "right" pronunciation to who? To Australians, Irish, Americans, English People from London or Scottish People? There is a standard for sure, but from a linguistics perspective everyone is right speaking in its particular way.

I agree. Clearly envy involved here.

I personally don't like the idea of measuring people's value by being successful. My guess is that Lucy may feel less successful now (than she used to). Thus, on the other hand, the comment might be a bit offensive for her. Lucy, when I listen to you, I see that you follow good values. You are trying to be honest with people, respectful, you want to listen them. That's really great and I really look up to this. I grew up in a culture, in which it's very important not to take things personally but make an effort to get to know the intentions of the person who said or did something. I suppose some things that happened to you would be easier for a person like me. I'm not trying to judge your way of thinking, but sharing something that I find different in my mentality, and what I see possibly interesting for you. I feel responsible for my intentions, when I'm speaking. If I say something that could be misunderstood, but in general my intentions are clear - that's not my problem anymore. Thus, political correctness is something I find a waste of energy. I prefer to focus on developing virtues and following good values instead. It makes my life easier :) Hang in there! ;)

👍

I'm from the States too never would make fun of an accent. I do offended cringle at Southen dialects that people use. I live in the Eastern Tn region and asked why my dialect is so different from the 'norm' spoken here. I have to explain that my how parents are not originally from the area. My dad grew up in Maryland, and my mom is from the South of Nashville her dialect is more Westen Tn. Since grandmother grew up North of Memphis. I also have wondered reasons we have such diverse dialects especially since I have been around all my life. What I have learned and studied on various regions spoken in a culture. It relates back to the level of education people has a heavy influence on their speech. Offer times if don't understand grammar usage then words get used incorrectly and then carried over to how used in speech.

I am Israeli and went to a university in Canada .first year with poor English i had a prof from India, another from texas, and one from England .it was like the UN without translation.

Definitely! I'm from NJ. We can tell if your from North or South as soon as you open your mouth! It's hilarious in the states to hear different accents.

Plse don't leave we all alone😔

Very well put :))

👏👏👏

True

Very eloquently put. Your English is phenomenal. Well done, genuinely. :)

Yo me quejaba mas del audio horrible de los casettes o los CDs que de los acentos que escuchaba. Hay un comentario que dice que hay mucha gente que se ofende de manera "recreativa"...y la verdad es que tiene razon. La flaca no tiene por que estar disculpandose porque se remil entiende que nunca lo hizo con mala intencion. La gente se queja porque no tiene otra cosa mejor que hacer

@@RyugaChan Porque no saben el acento inglés de Inglaterra

@@RyugaChan ahí estamos la gente se aburre mucho y no sabe q hacer con su vida (here that's the problem, ppl get so bored and dunno what to do w their lives)

"Envy is a constant", that is so well said. Is that a Spanish expression?

SPOT ON!....we subscribed specifically because of her accent!💯

@Alex Thistle I also like the "standard" British accent. But there is much more regional accents in Great Britain. And what I meant is I don't have time, energy and any reason to study them all. Said that - I watched all Peaky Blinders series mainly for (original or not) beautiful Birmingham accent. But I will not ever try to mimic their accent, there is no point in doing this.

I agree 👍

Exactly!! It is better to learn a more standard accent! It would be so tiresome to learn all of those accents, it is not belittling those accents

Absolutely right

I hope so too

Bro, you just said literally everything Lucy needed to hear. Thank you. I hope she sees your comment

Exactly. You shouldn't apologise about it.

I wrote about that too. People is becomming too sensitive, and they see bad intentions everywhere. Like really, you say "hola" and people will said "your making fun about Spanish speakers" recently,in a Chinese group, people ask to no say 你好! (Hello) bc everybody knows that... nosense. Everything you do could be wrong if the other person feels like that.

@@siljatanner1318 Christopher Excleston. And I found it VERY annoying, but not half as annoying as Billie Piper’s.🤣😂😂

I agree, and that's coming from someone with a strong Aussie accent

Well said..

Some people could stand to learn to speak properly.

While most people speak American English because....wait for it....IT IS EASIER. Less of an accent overall.

There is a world of difference in understanding the "Queen's English" (I'm not sure many in the UK need to "learn" it) and homogenising our language.

Hm, that is right. I felt uncomfortable a bit too watching this because we have never really got to know her differently than a "teacher". But, your words may hurt her because you indicate that you don't care about her as a person, simply about her job and what she does for you. You know? I am also a great supporter and I achieved a British accent and a C1 certificate through her help, however, I would love to know a bit more about her.

I think they’re rather progressive linguists...

Agree!

Its very bad that happen with Lucy mam.ouww God!! What the fucking people in the world

Exactly.... Don't try to please everyone. Be you... Tell us how to be professional in your opinion... Not these "professional s" . Upsetting or insulting various people in today's age can't be the reason to stop stating your opinion. If I am "insulted" I can stop listening... So can they. I want to hear your ideas, not the vanilla, dorked down, one size fits all, non insulting to all version - I want to hear what you feel is perfect pronunciation. As we might say in the US....Stick to your guns!

Exactly! So called experts will always find something to demonstrate and show off they make a difference! ...

Well said!

"nobody cannot judge you for that"- double negative, big no in English. We say "nobody can judge you for that" OR " one cannot judge you for that*.

Totally agree with you!

Indeed.

Such a beautiful comment. Yes,indeed, all languages have its own identity and beauty. And as you said, all this horrible attitude comes from frustration. When someone is busy to do something great doesn't have time to hate.

Certainly, i agree at ur statement. Every region has its own accent and dilect as well.you know in our district people talks differently with each other. Y should they do this? Just bcoz of different dilects and accents n it's just a simple city n when we consider different nations, there must be different accents.so stop uptighting urself and its thehuman nature of people who tends to criticize and bilittle others.keep focusing on ur work.May Almighty God grant you resounding success!

@@arashfatehi9971 dear Arash, what did happen exactly?

@@saraahmadi3541 She was attacked by Woke SJWs who told her that by teaching 'good grammatically correct English', she was being racist or class-ist to those who don't speak 'proper' English. My guess is these fascists guilt-tripped Lucy into thinking she was 'shaming' non-White, non-middle class English speakers. This fascist thought-policing is happening everywhere in Britain now in all our institutions and in every area of the arts and literature. The Maoists in Communist China used this technique to silence and cancel people they felt weren't 'pure enough' Communists. And I can guarantee you the people who criticised her are all Middle-class perfect-English speakers themselves.

@@elelegidosf9707 Having spoken Standard American English all my life I'm convinced more than ever that everyone of you needs to speak this highest form of English we speak here in America. Standard American English has become the most efficient and effective language on earth today, another great American invention. Also, being an American myself I can attest to the fact that we are indeed the most modern and civilized human beings on the planet. Everyone else is a savage compared to us.

@@vernonchelski7385 LOL. I really don't like this British English vs other "Englishes" or even standard vs standard because sometimes one can't help using the accent and vocabulary of the region he or she was born in. Yes, it is better to use the standard English version of each English-speaking country because the standard version will always be more understandable (at least to me) and also more polished (again, at least to me). However, I am more tolerant of the manner of speaking of individuals. Maybe it is because I speak English as a second language so I am one of those savages hahahaha.

@@whatevergoesforme5129 Gideon's videos are interesting. He has one on RP and Posh and says in the video that only 3% of Brits speak pure RP. Most have some regaional accent influence. Most of the people using pure RP were educated outside of England. I'd like to see Lucy's deleted video.

You know, the term “PC Culture” tends to be shorthand for someone saying they are too lazy and/or stubborn to look at things through another lens.

Yes it's right. The issues come when your message tend to be "if you don't have my accent it's bad", which obviously is not her message. Nothing justify the fact of making fun of someone else accent just because you have difficulties To understand it, and everyone can not have the same accent as you, native or non native speakers.

Well, in essence it's seen as insensitive to refer to some of these ways of speaking as "better English" in the first place. It comes down to the sort of classism that has been a big issue in the UK for a very long time, with received pronunciation as being the "correct" way of speaking and judging people not trained to speak like them as lesser and uneducated. People see a well spoken person implying certain accents are more proper ways of speaking than others and it can give the impression to some that she was conveying this sense of elitism that has been fought against for the last few decades. Judgemental perhaps, but there is reasoning there too. It's a touchy subject, really.

​@@jakerockznoodles I don't know British history so I don't want to be smarter than you. BUt the problem is that when working in an international corporation where we(I) use English, the lack of dense accent causes a lack of understanding other people. And this does not only concern me personally, but many colleagues. We don't understand Asian people. If everyone learned one language, we would have one understandable language,but soon we will have 200 different English languages (obviously it's very difficult to learn proper accent(actually impossible :) ), but i know (example) indian people who i understand very well because they try to use an american accent. I'm also trying to use accent as close to proper as possible.) so we have a strange situation, we cannot learn the correct language (one language) because some people are offended. And the worst thing will be when in some time one sentence will mean something completely different and there will be so much of it that it's scary to think what it can lead to. Something terrible is coming on people. Sorry for English, I still learn.

Have you seen someone get actually offended? Or have people been commenting on it for attention/to get on board with the sensation of criticising just because it was something pthers did as well?

@@alanlaifer1593 I have not seen anyone offended no. Claiming people were just 'offended', 'jealous', 'wanting attention', seems like a 'strawman argument'. I *have* seen people commenting because there was a subtle superiority and mocking tone in a couple of Lucy's accent videos, and that was a genuine issue that was worthy of attention. There was one later youtube video which was long and intense. Perhaps too intense? But it was a genuine issue that the commenter seemed to feel strongly about.

100% support. I wrote in comments: don’t swing with fashion moves. Because Lucy is an unique artful person and it’s vitality important for her keep herself identity. This is what has created her as a vlog person with her fans and followers and when she stepped out on mainstream, she’s put up herself under stress/hit/attack by the enemies, not of her, but of the initiators of the mainstream wave. And as we can see she suffered so much, she tried honestly to take her part, but just got a bad reaction from society.

I am from Colombia, and some people even say that if you write an academic paper in Spanish is not that professional. Like if one language were superior than other, imagine being told that you can not even use your native accent, a part of your identity because you do not sound "professional".

@@catalinavasquez3595 I don't think foreign people understand the UK. In the US you have BLM, but in the UK we have a whole undertone based on class not colour. People from a certain class in the South-East almost unwittingly (like what she is admitting here) look down their nose at people with regional accents in the rest of the country. Class in the UK is based more on accent than how much money you have. That said most who speak like this lady or even more posh are perceived to be upper class or upper middle. I can tell she has probably been to a private school just by hearing her speak for example. In professional environments there will be a certain amount of discrimination (like BLM) based on your accent. So often someone with a posh southerm accent may be favoured in interviews over someone with a strong regional accent.
