Shouldn't professional broadcasters have a pretty good understanding of how to use the English language correctly? Yeah, I think so too.

Hey @MLS, @thesoccerdon, The PA for IMCF is a joke; a cringe-y spectacle. His overblown, partisan calls are unprofessional, disrespectful to visiting teams, and embarrassing for the league. It has no place in professional sports. U should be embarrassed. instagram.com/reel/DN4nqfgDn…

Hey, @successcharters, I hope you’re embarrassed by the TV spot for your Miami “sharter” school. (Yes, the voiceover really says “sharter.”) And if you’re not embarrassed, you should be.

Hey @MLS @thesoccerdon There’s a difference between hometown pride and downright hostility. Inter Miami’s PA guy crosses that line every game, cheapening the atmosphere. It’s unsportsmanlike and reflects terribly on team leadership. You should be ashamed: instagram.com/reel/DNdZWaPO4…

Hey @MLS @thesoccerdon If ur league cares about its reputation, it should look at Inter Miami’s PA guy. He's a caricature of hype: aggressive, biased, embarrassing. Fans deserve better, & so do the visiting teams. PA isn’t supposed to be propaganda. Is it? instagram.com/reel/DKPHpdiOY…

Hey, @MLS @thesoccerdon, just checking...are all your PA announcers told to act like this? Because Inter Miami’s guy is giving “below minor league energy” at major league volume. Nothing says “professional league” like a screaming hype man. It's pathetic. instagram.com/reel/DKPZjR3tY…

Hey @MLS, just checking, are all your PA announcers told to act like obnoxious superfans? Because Inter Miami’s guy is giving “below minor league energy” at major league volume. Nothing says “professional league” like a screaming hype man. It's pathetic. instagram.com/reel/DKPZjR3tY…

Hey, @NBCSCycling…please tell the folks who write the titles of the the Tour de France segments on Peacock to f’in STOP writing spoilers into the headlines. When I’m looking to watch the replay or highlights of a particular stage, I DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHO WON IT!!!

.@abc @abcnews @ABCNewsPR This guy claims that he's "The Voice of ABC News" and that he was "The voice of ABC World News Tonight w/ Peter Jennings 1992-2002" Even uses your logo and a badly written "endorsement" from Diane Sawyer to sell his coaching. Are any of his claims TRUE?

Dear @USATODAY, in what world is this grammatically acceptable? You’ve effectively written, “Here *is* 5 tips…” (Serious question.)

.@stuholden, your insights are great, but… *Amount* of goals? *Amount* of passes? Nope. Wrong word. Try *number* of goals and *number* of passes, and you won’t sound like an undereducated former jock.
.@HuffPost Editors Reveal That They Don’t Know the Difference Between ‘Number’ and ‘Amount.’
BTW, @RadioGavin1, forks don’t have tongs, they have tines. Tongs are a different tool entirely. 😀
Hey, @RadioGavin1… Dude, you NEED to stop pronouncing the *word* “a” like the *letter* “a.” It’s “uh” house… “uh” senator. Saying “Ā house, Ā senator,” makes you sound like you’re reading in a stilted, robotic way. PS. “The” is only pronounced as “THEE” before a vowel.
Hey, @TheMozKnowz “Good morning everybody”? “Get this everyone”? Where are these groups of people who are watching you??? Guess you missed the first day of Broadcast Journalism, when they explained that you’re talking to lots of individuals, NOT to a large group of people.
Hey @Huffpost, it’s bad enough that Kanye doesn’t know the difference between “formally” and “formerly,” but your own Daniel Welsh thinks that “baited breath” is correct??? WTAF?
Dear @MSNBC, did your journalism school not explain the difference between the words “number “ and “amount”?
