My questions are about the game videos below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNq35Z8a_QU&.............................. At 39:04, Markiplier said "Even though I didn't know that, but it's okay...." Here he used "even though" and "but" in the same sentence. However, English learners were taught to use "even though" OR "but" in our textbook. We can only use one of those two in the same sentence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0P6ckIBX6Q&.............................. At 7:58, Socksfor1 said "i just saw a body i just saw a body i just saw 'Lit.'" I'm pretty sure he add an "L sound" to the word "it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca8ace1N_4A&.............................. At 3:36, Jacksepticeye said "Ironbark Lookout, May twelfthT" I'm also pretty sure he add a "T sound" at the end of the the word, "twelfth." Why does this happen? Did they make a mistake, or not?

I'll try to explain. 1) He does indeed use both, but he is using this as a method of emphasis for the clause after "but". If I were to write it down, I would put the "even though" clause between parentheses to show that it is a clause of non-essential information. These kind of "seemingly wrong" colloqualisms are quite common amongst native speakers. A very common mistake you might here that is a definite error in textbook english is something like "there's lots of stars in the sky tonight", whereby the speaker is naturally saying "there is" when it should be "there are". 2) I don't here the "L" sound, but I do hear an aspirated connection between the W and the I. "saW It" is kind of flowing into each other too much and the words are not distinctly pronounced. This affliction on the "W" sound specifically is a somewhat common speech impediment in English speakers. 3) I do hear the "T" sound at the end, and this is simply a mistake (not sure if intentional or not, but it's certainly not correct).
