Default Re: Announcers saying MPH

Having done a fair bit of radio, and lots of voices for training material, I hardly ever fault non pro announcers for their idiosyncrasies. Mostly they are trying to be as clear as possible, even when clarity is not an issue.

When I am listening to racing, at the track or on the radio, I am always more intensely interested in the numbers themselves, and can mentally sort out their application; ET, or mph. So I don't even hear that part.

But what the heck we all have issues that tweak our beaks... so even if it is you, that's OK, it isn't fatal.
