Re: deciphering a youtube lecture
Oh, it seems my previous message has vanished. Should such comments be considered a violation of any rules here?

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

No, sorry. There was a moment when I could not see the last but one message (excluding this one), but it is somehow visible again. Sorry for the unnecessary complaint/alarm/inquiry/remark

Posts from newcomers go through moderation, particularly when they contain links. It's a defence mechanism to reduce advertising and spam. When someone has posted ten times, their posts with links will appear without moderation.

You're very close. He's speaking informally, using standard American English. He says: "Who's going to say that your local sponge gets up in the morning and goes, you know, should I. . . ."?
I'm not a teacher. I speak American English. I've tutored writing at the University of Southern Maine and have done a good deal of copy editing and writing, occasionally for publication.
