someone wrote:

>...which is kinda funny... calling it an ATM Machine.... i mean, wouldn't
that literally sound like we were calling it an Automated Teller Machine
Machine? ;)

to which was replied:

oooh, that's like the country's best yogurt yogurt! (TCBY Yogurt, which i
used to call "the country's best yo-yo yogurt" and has since been changed to
"TCBY Treats" which is significantly less fun for me. 

to which i have to add:

Or like when a baseball announcer says "Sammy Sosa has 3 RBI's today".  It
should be RBI! (Runs Batted In) Why do they have pluralize it when it has
already been pluralized (word?)???  Would you make them stop it?????  

Okay it is nothing like the ATM or the TCBY but, it bugs me....okay.

the sports geek comes out again.

Out here,
Barry
