I think on a PC you will have to log her out and you in and vice versa though.
I just checked, and if you are logged into YouTube on a PC then clicking on your user icon in the top right drops down a menu and one of the options is "Switch Account". Personally I would run completely separate user accounts for the whole PC, so each person has their own desktop, own Documents folder, etc etc. Windows has Fast User Switching so you don't even need for User A to log out for User B to use the PC.
But, yes, if you don't want that then at the very least switch YouTube accounts before posting a comment.

My wife and I share a PC. When I reply or add a comment to a youtube video, it comes up as her name. How can I stop this - because sometimes it's inappropriate - or switch it to my name?
There are a few options. Your wife is logged into youtube like you are Pistonheads and your browser (chrome, I'm guessing) stores a cookie so every time you visit the website, it can tell who it is.If you go to youtube signed in as your wife, you should see a letter (or sometimes a small photograph) in a circle in the top right. If you click on it, you will see options, one of which is "switch account". Here you can switch to your own youtube account or, if you don't have one, sign up with a new account.
In future you can switch between accounts.

See, now that a man has repeated what I said, it's now official advice and can be followed. 
(Just joking. Your post put it in much better 'dummy' terms than mine.)

Why are you using the same user account? Just have a user account each (on the the same PC) and keep things completely separate.

How are removed cousins calculated?
If I share a great grandparent with someone they are a second cousin, fine.
Which I think makes their offspring my second cousin once removed.
But from the offspring's point of view the common ancestor is a great great grandparent. So am I their third cousin? Or we both second cousins once removed? Or both third cousins?

I find it all bloody confusing, but I asked (perhaps on this thread) some time ago about the relationship between my sister's kids (my nephews) and my wifes brother's kids (her nephews)If I share a great grandparent with someone they are a second cousin, fine.

Apparently they aren't related at all, removed or otherwise, which seems odd.

Removed cousins are a generation up or down. Your cousin's offspring are first cousins once removed.If I share a great grandparent with someone they are a second cousin, fine.

Dr Jekyll said:
Sure. But am I their first cousin once removed, or their second cousin since from their point of view the common ancestor is a great grandparent not a grandparent
My understanding is that it is symmetrical. If they are your second cousin once removed then you are also their second cousin once removed. As in, your relationship with each other is "seconds cousins once removed".

Why do Booker / Makro care if customers run a business or not?
Because they don't want it full of retail customers who expect a retail establishment. Doofus said:

The Church. You can still see a painted board in many churches that lists the types of relation you can’t marry under any circumstances. My hazy recollection is that it might even feature in the Book of Common Prayer. It's all f

And IIRC the Catholics are more stringent than the Anglicans, at least in this regard...
