VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

[Mike Sommer]

I'm on your Side Deirdre.
Hell, I was getting confused there for a minute.

I find this an excellent and stimulating exchange, and I take not offense in such back and forth banter. Deirdre is obviously a well educated person with a love for the English language as myself, and I'm sure the rest of us in this "craft of voice and word" do as well. I hope no ill regard was directed at me.

Errors in usage are a lot like errors in table manners. There are tiny deviations from standard practice few people will notice or care about, like using your salad fork to eat stake, or using "decimate" to mean "destroy." Saying "I got my dandruff up" rather then "my dander" is more like trying to stab chunks of sweet and sour pork with a sharpened end of a chopstick- likely to raise eyebrows. But it's the equivalent of falling face first into the mashed potatoes when some poor soul refers to a man as "circusized."

Acoustics are counter-intuitive. If one thing is certain about acoustics, it is that if anything seems obvious it is probably wrong.

watching folks who are just starting out in my area (Philly has quite the regionalism) is often amusing.
