I LOVED that youtube video. Thanks 
I looked at the knittinghelp videos, because I was curious about continental. I learnt to knit from my Mum (English way), and my knitting friends all knit English, but ribbing and seed stitch BUGGED me; all that swapping sides.
I tried continental from the videos, but it got WAY tight, I couldn’t tension it and my left thumb got cramp. But I think that youtube might fix some of that.
I was gonna give up, but you’ve encouraged me, think I’ll try again 
YAY! Portuguese knitting makes ribbing SO much faster!
I am from England and everyone I know knits this way.
Watching that “Crazy Knitting Lady” video is like watching my Mum knit.
I dont understand where all the names have come from originally, English knitting isnt like any English knitting I have ever seen so far.

Well, your biscuits look like cookies to me, and I swear your chips are really French fries. 
It seems Brits call all desserts, pudding; even when they aren’t a custard, erm, I mean a pudding.
Somethings get lost in translation, other details are lost by many exchanges of instructions from generation to generation. Language is not constant, it changes and evolves much like the living communities that use it.
It is often quite difficult to read old text (counting hundreds of years) even when they are written in one’s own language because new words have been created, usage and meanings have changed, and some words fall out of use or are replaced.
