Let's face it, we are all - to some extent - language nerds. True? Well, I know I am and I'm a rather prescriptive one at that! (next time you're in, stop by and read the comic I have on the outside of my cube. My DH clipped it for me...he knows me so well!)
So, being an avid football fan I do watch ahem...some football television over the weekend (heck, it really is the only TV I do watch so cut me some slack! :-) It never ceases to perturb/amaze me what comes from commentators' mouths. Troy Aikmam should be the posterchild. Other than doing his best to make elliding the "g" a national pasttime (e.g. goin', runnin', tryin'), he comes up with some real lu-lus! But, last weekend, whilst taking in the Notre Dame rout of Michigan, I heard this:
"It seems like déjà vu all over again."
CLASSIC!

That's not fair, I frequently have compounded deja vu. Maybe that's what he was talking about.
