Announcers saying MPH
 

Is it just me, or does this bother other racers. Why do they have to keep saying MPH! After the first 30 or 40 times you have said MPH, we have caught on! We realize after you say the elasped time, you are refering to the MPH! They say it so often, I will hit my mute button after they say the elasped time. One more thing, Mike Dunn quit saying WOW!

It's "announcer speak"...listen to a football telecast, golf tournament coverage etc. They always refer to the projectile by it's full name, not simply as "the ball". I'm convinced that it's deemed necessary in case a rogue ball from another sport should infiltrate the playing field.

Thankfully in ice hockey, the biscuit is called the "puck" and cannot be misconstrued as anything else!

Re: Announcers saying MPH
 

So the term "pucker up" is when a hockey player is about to slap the biscuit? Jim

If you don't like it, don't watch it.

I have no problem with MPH. It does bug me a bit when they say "mile per hour" instead of "miles per hour". The only time it should be "mile per hour" is if they are talking about 1.

Re: Announcers saying MPH
 

Don't forget "miles an hour" because all speedometers are calibrated to MAH. LMAO!

It's just you, but at least you can hit the mute button! Somethings in life doesn't come with a mute button. Like the mouth on the ex-wife. lol
