Run, plant, wish. We could do that.
Now we hope this doesn't cause problems! We remember hearing at Investors '05 Sylvain Morin's Spoonerism attack with the words "Atlantic Chip Timing" (hint; the final word was "Chiming") and we haven't been the same since.
So please remember it's triathlon, not treeathlon the next time you're in conversation. Furthermore there is no second 'a' in triathlon (between the 'h' and the 'l'), and has three syllables, not four. Same rationale for duathlon.
Repeated violations will be reported to the TNS Elocution Committee (emails addressed to the Executive Director will reach this c'ttee!)

Today outside of Aerobics First there was a Biathlon display setup. I am still mad they stole the good name. And why can't spell check figure out Duathlon anyway?
ReplyDeleteBring a .22 bolt-action rifle to Riverport and I'll get Tom and Jen to put a target at the top of Grimm Road. For every miss I'll get you to run around the carpark before you can finish!
ReplyDeleteAn I just realised, it's bi-ath-lon not bi-ath-a-lon, so the rule still holds! Who says English is all irregulars anyway?
