"Die Dinos"...
Wow, there is a major spoiler in that title. 😆

... I don't need an article to come to that conclusion.

Any surprising statements in there apart from the obvious?

Interesting, didn't know that.
I learned British English at school, yet all the learning materials focused on using the am/pm style.
Perhaps because we already know the 24h format well in Germany, as it is also routinely used here.

Believe me, for someone that has experienced the eighties first hand, the video hits hard...
But many in the crowd at the end I also don't recognize... Perhaps random puppets taken from the Spitting Image stock, so very british?
I guess, there probably exist explainatory videos or articles to be found somewhere.
Should be interesting!

I am perhaps too old to answer that question, as I don't stumble upon new words often enough any more.

Most of the new ones for me are imported terms, like "Computer" or "Internet".
These are mostly gendered based on the translation of the part that defines them, e.g. "the net" - "das Netz", so it is somewhat logical.

There are some unclear or disputed ones, though. E.g. "Interface" is "das", but "API" (from application programming interface) often is "die", because "the interface" translates to "die Schnittstelle".

Also, there are some regional differences.
E.g. "Butter" is female ("die") in many parts of Germany, but in some it is male "der".

To sum up: It is complicated.

For me it was the weekly telephone song votings on the radio.
They often deliberatly put niche stuff in there up for vote that then stuck with me :-)

Regarding the times:
Took ages until I was somewhat sure on how to use that am/pm thing in English. 🙃

I am actually using Qwant, but thought they relied on Bing?
Did that change?

Without any doubt one of the best music videos ever produced!

That would rather be the equivalent to "Bravo Hits 18" (or whatever they were called in other countries)

At first I thought you had a demonic black hellhound lying before the bed... 😆

Not sure about the step up thing.
I see several tradeoffs being made to gain a size benefit, which is lost again the moment you realize you can't have reversable angled plugs any more...
