Pretty sure Tony Squires said the Southern Stars had been ''playing great footy'' during their Women's World Twenty20 campaign.

Not sure who it is but there's some tool on SEN who does the traffic and is always pronouncing Vermont (Melbourne suburb) as Vermont (US state). Grinds my gears.

Come to Perth, we have a Berwick St, pronounced as it reads, not Berrick.

How is Vermont supposed to be pronounced?

Lol

Not easy to write. The Ver part should rhyme with fir or whir. Not vamont.

Emphasis on first syllable, VERmont.

Eloise Sohier on Fox Sports News came up with a beauty this morning. She said Wayne Bennett was reportedly going to tell his Brisbane Broncos players he won't be their coach in 2016.

They finished 5th so perhaps he was absent for some of the year

Plonker Shane McInnes is so farkin s**t. I can't believe I listened to him and Bartel last night.

McInnes said: "he was thrusted into the...." 'Thrusted' isn't the past tense on 'thrust'
https://www.grammarly.com/blog/thrusted/

He also said that someone "would garnish support". He's so s**t! I'm surprised there's not more hate for him on here; I suppose he's not famous enough

Ha ha. I'm pretty sure he said "thrusted", and Bartel copied him.
Tonight, McInnes said "take steed" instead of, I assume, "take heed". Oh EM GEE Wiz

• Bowling some chin music.

Nick Dal Santo pronounces "coerce" as "co-herss". Maybe he's getting it mixed up with "cohesion", and thinks it's am abbreviated version of that

"I hope the weather stays away"

"Struggling with mental health"

Both absolutely get me every time. The weather is always present, say you hope the "bad weather stays away", and everyone has mental health, people struggle with "mental health illness/issue" or "poor mental health"

 

[Dixie Normous]

I remember someone on Triple M footy a while back (can't remember who) said 'metal health'. Must have been a Quiet Riot fan

Lisa Sthalekar just said on sen "it kept skyrocketing downwards"

She is hands down one of the worst commentators going around, can barely string two words together. We could fill a whole thread with her mistakes. Instantly switch off if she is on.
