Another Blast from the Past: Feb. '09
Here's the War on Words column from Out & About Magazine of February, 2009:
The War on Words
A monthly column in which we attempt, however futilely, to point out some of the most common mistakes in the way Americans speak and write
By Bob Yearick
Gimme An An
Amazing how many people don’t know when to use the article “an” instead of “a.”
WIP talk show host Angelo Cataldi recently said this about Donovan McNabb: “He did a interview . . .”
Meanwhile, Wilmington’s “young adult entertainment publication” wrote that “www.livestrong.com is a online tool.”
Here’s the rule: The choice of article is based on the phonetic (sound) quality of the first letter in a word. If the first letter makes a vowel-type sound, use “an” (an egg, an ostrich, an interview, an online tool). If the first letter would make a consonant-type sound, use “a” (a desk, a chair, a car).
Guessing Game
Many of us use words that approximate the one we actually mean. The correct term appears in parentheses in the following examples.
A Wilmington reader writes that she once had a co-worker who enjoyed the “orange roughage” (roughy) from the seafood menu of a local restaurant.
A bank employee from Bear says a manager told his team they were doing much of the same work other teams in the company were doing, thus creating “a lot of duplicity” (duplication).
Our friend from upstate Pennsylvaniasends another example of “Coachspeak” (malapropisms uttered by a local retired coach who does color commentary on high school wrestling matches). During a recent broadcast, Coach described one wrestler thusly: “Bill’s wrestling like a man repossessed” (possessed).
Media Watch
Ads and commercials are always good for a miscue or two. “War” recently saw a TBS commercial for “More movie, less commercials.” As our readers know, if you’re speaking of plurals (e.g. “commercials”), the adjective is “fewer.”
Then there was this tagline from a Comcast commercial: “Save a load of Benjamin’s” (meaning dollars). Once again, the most misused punctuation mark (all together now) -- the apostrophe! -- makes an inappropriate appearance. We repeat: Do not use it to form plurals!
Word of the Month: Zeitgeist
Often capitalized and translated literally from the German, Zeitgeist means the taste and outlook characteristic of a period or generation.The Zeitgeist in the 1970s, for example, was “love everyone,” while the ‘50s were marked by post-war euphoria. Our time might be characterized as a Zeitgeist of anxiety and fear.
Literally of the Month
The Mike and Mike Show on ESPN – both radio and TV – usually produces a blooper or two, as when Mike Greenberg referred to a player who “is literally and figuratively carrying that team on his back.” Couldn’t leave it at figuratively, could you, Mike? Or just drop the adverb altogether. “Carrying the team on his back” works fine by itself. We all know that no athlete – no matter how strong – is capable of literally carrying the team.

The Week That Was
This past week I competed in a contest to win a job at 94 WIP. In case you don't know 94 WIP is a CBS affiliate that covers Philadelphia sports 24/7.
Well I did good in the competition. Heck, I did pretty fantastic. My only slip up was the last day where the last of my competitors, a young lady named Megan apparently blew me out of the water. I did not hear her 1 minute show intro but a guy at work just confirmed it for me (Thanks John!).
I sit here several days later still angry about Rhea Hughes decision. Rhea was the judge all week, and Angelo Cataldi who is the host told me everyday how I was the star and I could be working in radio now. Angelo was actually shocked that I did not have a job in sports broadcasting in some fashion.
However, after all the compliments they still picked someone else. This left me at a lost for words. Driving home I was angry, point blank, period. I felt that I had let the opportunity for me to get my foot into the door of sports broadcasting slip through my fingers. I was down and out.
I will continue to work hard. I will not back down, I will down give up. This is not the end but just the beginning. America, you will be hearing from me again real soon.
