Falling intonation is the most common intonation pattern in American English. We use falling intonation in normal, neutral statements and information questions. In this video, you'll learn what we mean by falling intonation, what the rise-fall tone signals to native English speakers, and practice the falling intonation pattern with examples.
We use falling intonation on the stressed syllable of the last content word in a statement. Your pitch will rise to this stressed syllable and then fall. This steep drop down to the end signals that you're done speaking and the other person can respond.
Falling intonation is most common in factual statements, when you're giving information, making observations, giving commands, instructions, or orders. This fall in pitch sounds authoritative. We also use falling tone when asking information questions or making observations with tag questions.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
