ASMR Reading Random Words & Their Definitions from a 1983 English Dictionary

I flip through a 1983 English dictionary (which I picked up at a thrift shop a year ago or so and never put to good use until now) reading random words and their meanings, while sharing my thoughts on some of them.

Listen to select audio works outside of YouTube:

Alternate title: ephemeral rift teaches you words to help you expand your vocabulary asmr

[vendamental]

Experiencing Uncle E's intros is the sole reason I was put onto this planet and given the gift of life and free will.

[futuristic.handgun]

Omg you actually did it!! I commented awhile back on one of your videos that I've been falling asleep to the sound of your voice for so long that you could just read the dictionary and it'd be so comforting and I'd go right to sleep. You commented back that when you took a break from being outside doing your nature adventures that'd you have to do just that and you did!! This is so awesome, haha!! Thank you Paul!! Appreciate you and everything you've made over the years, so much!! 🖤

Now if you look here, you'll notice the camera being at a skewed angle, also known as a Dutch angle. This is usually to represent a feeling of unease or loss of stability in the eyes of the character, meaning that Rift is slowly losing his sanity 👍

[Wildberryjamband]

this should have been done by the Tin Foil Hat Society. Reading the dictionary to members so that we're all clear on what certain words mean when dealing with normal humans.

[Bushman]

I've gotta say your mic quality is so good that I genuinely thought the vehicle outside you heard was outside of my house

[stephanie]

I have a dictionary from 1879! I would LOVE to see you read something like that! The word “internet” didn’t exist and there are extra words that we don’t use anymore! Super interesting

[Hellspawn]

So generous of you to rotate the omniverse just a few degrees off the normal for our enjoyment.

[Mindscapewithme]

I love old encyclopedias and dictionaries and stuff like that, its so neat to see just how different language and knowledge was from different time periods, love this💙

[georgeheilman]

I'm about the same age as that dictionary, and it looks like it has held together better than I have.

[theholyaxolotol]

This was an Asmr i wasn't expecting, but i really enjoyed it!

[stealthswan]

For one of non-native English speakers(Japanese), it was hard to catch the Word & Definition 2, but now I understand that's "palmetto".

[FrutBucket]

Now we need a "The word man ASMR" (PLEASE)

[CaleyJH]

Goddam this is criminally early for a rift vid
Love you <3

[GrandRezero]

Thank you, Word Man, for delivering my order of words this fine day.

[xzimer]

Loving this! I hope you do more of these!

[Lucianato]

Paul, this is a fantastic video! I actually liked that droning sound of the truck/mower in the background at the beginning. Take a sample of that sound and loop it, then pan-phase it left & right at a low hum for your next dictionary reading video! 🤘📖🤘

[IamThePreston]

Love your channel! So good to see you back! You're one of my all time favorite people and youtubers!

[lexais_]

er with the shirt looking like ben 10’s uncle max

[Cosmic_Squid]

it’s finals week and I needed this! Thank you!!
