Thread Name: Traditional songs learned orally from youtube
Subject: RE: Traditional songs learned orally from youtube
To me "orally" means literally "by mouth", from a real warm-blooded person, live. Otherwise, "orally from youTube" does not differ in the least from "orally from any old recording". It conjures up images of someone sucking up to a screen.
