You're Probably Wrong About "People Die If They Are Killed"

Happy birthday, "People die if they are killed"! We’ve been meme-ing on you for the past 20 years—but do you actually deserve it? Oh hey, there wasn’t really a good spot to put it in the video, but I figured I’d mention my credentials here. I currently hold a JLPT N4 and am preparing to take the N3 at the end of the year. I definitely wouldn’t consider myself an expect on the language, but I’ve been studying it (and, crucially, watching anime in Japanese) for about 13 years, so I have a pretty good sense of what sentences mean and why they’re structured the way they are. As for English, well, it’s my native language, but I did also get a 4 on the AP Lang exam back in high school so I’d like to think I’m pretty good at it. The opinions in this video are mine.
