I believe it’s because they’re providing commentary not comment.
Commentary is commenting.


Commentating is... well... made up and superfluous.

All of the sudden a few years ago, everybody in movies, tv, youtube videos, you name it, started counting with their fingers like Germans, starting with their thumb, then forefinger, then middle finger, etc.  This happened almost overnight, and it's everywhere.  Prior to this, people counted first with their forefinger, and used fingers to count 1-4, and only used the thumb if counting to five.  I truly don't know what happened, or why, but it was sudden, and ubiquitous.  I don't see anybody count the old (correct) way anymore.

It makes me grumpy. 
That reminds me of a pivotal scene in Inglorious Bastards.....the way of holding up '3' with the character's fingers gives him away as a spy.  
Are Tarantino films that influential??

I just saw a clip of someone speaking the term "conversate" and obviously believing that's a word, rather than using the actual verb "converse."

And this is the second time in the last week or so I've heard that.

It has made me grumpy.


Well, language is fluid.
The dictionary is putting 'irreguardless' in this year, as enough people use it and understand it that it's now an actual word.  

What's worse than grumpy?

I can't stand it when they say the QB is going to "clock the ball."  No, he's going to spike the ball to stop the clock.

Also, why are they called "commentators" rather than "commenters?"  Are they commentating, or commenting?





another reason to turn the volume off
