    I still emphasize Cup in lord stanley’s Cup

    No one says LORD stanley’s cup

    none of this obviously matters I just agree with PA

    There are lots of bays but people don’t usually say GREEN bay. They say green BAY. At least anecdotally from what I see on tv 

    a game against TAMPA bay…a game against Tampa BAY. At least I personally say it with emphasis on the latter

    good discussion for a distraction 

    He also couldn't pick Bert out of a front row lineup and didn't know the Sabres were for sale after the Rigas Debacle.

    The case has always been circumstantial. Got a conviction tho... Having Carol Jasen visit chambers didn't hurt.

  11. GDT/ Buffalo Sabres @ Vancouver Canucks Tuesday 10pm 3/19, ESPN+ MSG & WGR Radio

    I always enjoy matchups against the Sabres' NHL-entry twin.

    I'll check the score first thing when I wake up tomorrow.

    Let's Go, Buffalo!

    How do you do that, exactly? Pull up NHL scores on your phone?

    Do you just look or do you seductively reveal it? Sometimes I cover the screen with my hand and slowly pull it down to reveal the result pixel by pixel.

    I watch some YouTube videos on language from time to time.  I think accents are pretty interesting.  One guy I was watching pointed out words/sounds that British actors playing American characters pronounce in their native accent, so you can tell they're not really American.  The first step for a Brit to speak in an American accent is to pronounce the R's the way Americans do, instead of in the non-rhotic style of Received Pronunciation (the English taught to the upper classes).  Then there are various vowel shifts.  But there are other tells that British actors usually get wrong.

    There's also the "American Rock and Roll Accent" sung by people all over the world.  It sounds American, but it's not really the way people speak in the U.S. if you listen closely.  For instance, in Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" he doesn't really sing the R in Born.  In a singing voice where a note is held, the R is minimized or even omitted. 

    I could go on, but if you're interested you can find videos about language an accents on YouTube.

    I'm watching House again from the beginning. Hugh Laurie was brilliant IMHO.
