Default Call me a geek...

... but I just saw something that drove me nuts while watching the OU/OSU game. The crawl across the top of the screen read: "Your watching Oklahoma State vs. Oklahoma..." I'm sorry, but if you are working for a television station, and it's your job to write the crawl, shouldn't you have some semblance of grammar? At least know the difference between your and you're?

Ok. Rant over.

Geek.


No that would annoy me also, I don't even like reading it on a wrestling forum, but when it's on national TV, you need to get it right.

Not a geek at all, just someone who gets irritated by idiots. I'd have been irate too.

I hate that stuff too, but nothing irritates me more than our President saying "nucular."
