I don't like when people say sexsual when they mean sexual. Anne Doyle used to say sexsual abuse a lot when she read the news.

Slurry is a horrible word.

Mom.

Why my friends feel the need their children call them that when we grew up with an Irish "Mammy", I'll never understand. I know it is American but leave it there.

The opposite for me. "Mammy" is like nails on a chalk board for me. My own mother also found "Mammy" unbearable and did not want us to use that term.

If you're a musician, you'll always want to get that new tune "on tape".

I can't imagine musicians saying "we need to change this analogue audio to binary and have it saved on the hard drive, then converted back to analogue...".

I actually like the idea that old phrases like that will live on...

Digital is great but it's boring.
