Transcript: Keep It Simple
A caption reads "TVO Kids presents."
Colourful animated letters with googly eyes jump around and form the name "Wacky Word Songs."
A song says IT's THE WACKY WACKY WORD SONGS.
OH YEAH.
Zoey is in her early teens, with long straight brown hair and wears brown trousers, a polka dotted yellow sweater and a denim jacket.
In the attic, Zoey says DOES YOUR HAND EVER GET CRAMPED
WHEN YOU DO A LOT OF WRITING?
MINE DOES.
THAT'S WHY I LIKE ABBREVIATIONS.
ABBREVIATIONS ARE A SHORTENED
WAY TO WRITE A WORD.
LIKE THE WORD "WEDNESDAY."
IT'S KIND OF LONG, SO WE USE AN
ABBREVIATION FOR IT IN WRITING.
The abbreviation reads "Wed."
Zoey says YOU CAN USUALLY SPOT AN
ABBREVIATION BECAUSE IT HAS A
PERIOD AFTER IT, EVEN IF IT'S IN
THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE.
ABBREVIATIONS CAN MAKE WRITING
SIMPLER, AND THEY CAN ALSO BE
LOTS OF FUN.
(music plays)
Zoey sings a song that says I LIKE TO KEEP IT
SHORT AND SWEET.
WHEN I'M WRITING ON A SHEET.
MONTHS OF THE YEAR, DAYS OF
THE WEEK.
PARTS OF ADDRESSES, LIKE THE
WORD "STREET" CAN BE
ABBREVIATED.
TAKE A PEEK!
The abbreviation for "Street" reads "St."
Zoey sings JAN. IS FOR JANUARY, SUNDAY IS
SUN.
AVE. IS FOR AVENUE, MONDAY IS
MON.
ABBREVIATIONS ARE LOTS OF FUN,
FUN, FUN...
INSTEAD OF WRITING "MISTER" OR
"DOCTOR" OR SUCH.
I'LL USE ABBREVIATIONS SO I
DON'T HAVE TO WRITE SO MUCH!
The abbreviations read "Mr." and "Dr."
Zoey says IF I DON'T HAVE TO SPELL OUT
THE WHOLE THING, I HAVE SO
MUCH MORE TIME TO DANCE AND
SING!
HERE WE GO NOW!
The song ends.
Zoey says ABBREVIATIONS LET US WRITE A
SHORTER VERSION OF A WORD
INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SPELL OUT
THE WHOLE WORD.
TAKE IT FROM ME, Z.
