Dependent with an ‘e’ or dependant with an ‘a’.
Is there a difference?
In British English, dependant with an a refers to a person who relies on another. For example:
She is a single woman with no dependants.
In other words, she is a single woman with no one relying on her, for example children or ageing parents.
One way to remember this spelling is to remember that a dependant is a person, so we need to use the a spelling
In contrast, dependent with an e is an adjective or describing word meaning ‘relying on’.
For example.
Children are dependent on their parents for their basic needs.
In other words, children rely on their parents for their basic needs.
One way to remember this spelling is to remember that dependent is a describing word meaning reliant or relying on.
Now, if you’re writing for US readers, I’ve got some great news for you.
You only need to remember dependent with an e, because that spelling is used for both meanings.
Increasingly, people in the UK are using dependent with an e interchangeably with dependant with an a. But if you’re writing for careful readers, you’d be wise to observe the difference.

About the Site 🌐
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.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
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.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
