I haven't watched the video, but I'm assuming it's the one my sister sent me, and it is a bit startling, at first.

...and shes and hes as in "This sentence about hes and shes contains two hes and two shes (and two twos)"? Or do those words have other meanings than the plural of he and she? (being too lazy to look them up)

Yes, Pook. It is actually eight. I see now I did not phrase my original post precisely enough. I apologize for that.
