ESPN Grammar
Probably not just ESPN, but I was just suffering through Cindy Brunson's calling of Saturday's college football highlights. Instead of saying "Smith rushes for a 4-YARD touchdown," she insists on saying "Smith rushes for a 4-YARDS touchdown" and annoying the hell out of me.
Along these lines, the guy who used to read highlights for "Mike and Mike" would always say "The Heat IS on a 2-game winning streak." and "The Pistons ARE on a 2-game winning streak." (To be clear, ARE is right for both of the sentences.) It's rather crazy how much these annoy me, but you'd think it wouldn't be that tough and maybe some other people hate this too... |
