Hockey because this is directed squarely at the CBC commentators, *especially you Don Cherry*.
We're not American. We don't pronounce the rank spelled Lieutenant "loo-ten-ant", that's how the Americans do it. We do it British style, "lef-ten-ant" or "left-en-ant" (depending on your cadence).
Cherry, you say you love the troops - learn to pronounce their ranks correctly.
Just something small, but it's important, y'know?
Ron MacLean got a pass earlier this season, but Cherry ripped into people for calling the Memorial Cup "the Mem Cup" - hypocrisy is one of the worst sins in my book.
