Re: What NOT To Say
[ QUOTE ]
This is kind of random and nitty, but when sportscasters say, "Ten second differential between the shot clock and the game clock," it makes me want to rape their unborn children. IT'S NOT CALCULUS! IT'S BASKETBALL! IT'S SUBTRACTION! THE DIFFERENCE, GODDAMMIT! Sorry. NT [/ QUOTE ] Not only that, they are almost always wrong. The shot clock is in full seconds rounded up. So quite often it'll look something like 28.9 game, 21 shot, and they'll say "seven second differential", when the difference is really between 7.9 and 8.8. Yes, I'm nitty about this (among other things).
