How's my semi-colon work going? I'm still practising. The dumb explanation of how to use them is that they're half way between a full stop and a comma,

Todd Goldstein apparently gave up basketball because he was "disenfranchised" with the game.
The host calls him Craig Johnson four times....":07, 1:00, 1:23, 14:55".

That show has been a mess since Tony Squires took over from Mike Gibson.

So the word of the night for Channel 7 was 'Squeeze' and derivations of it such as 'Squeezy', 'Squeezes' and 'Squeezed'

After StK beat Melbourne, David King asked Seb Ross whether the young Saints players know the words to the Saints song.
1. StK won the week prior
2. Exactly how many words are in “When the Saints Go Marching In”?

Abbey Holmes just said Higgins had 14 touches to qtr time (he had 13) and then had “an additional 8 after that, totalling 23”. 
I don’t blame her though as she was probably just reading off a screen.
BT had an amusing muck-up earlier after a touched mark where he said “the clear was call”

Saying "the narrative" is really catching on; even Campbell Brown said it
Spud Frawley this morning used "decipher" to mean......actually I'm not quite sure what he meant, but it wasn't the correct meaning of the word.

Maybe he meant syphon? or deplete? got them mixed up? who knows.
It's actually painful listening to most blokes in the media use words so incorrectly. Like I can handle the odd small stuff-up or mispronunciation if the word being used is correct but examples like this that are just so obvious that they're trying to sound smarter than they are is embarrassing.

Did you hear him yesterday read the press release about Chris Froome? Ha.
He pronounced 'Salbutamol' as "Salbertamol" (it sounded funnier than it reads on here), and he couldn't say "regime"
