Bruce-- I adore you.

If you had said "between you and I" a containerload of rubber chickens would have been airlifted and dropped on your roof.

Ah yes, I remembered this one when I heard it yesterday:

"A whole nother thing altogether"

And while I'm at it, can you believe this? A banner outside a local restaurant says:
Crepes! Crepes! Crepes! Their great.

Their great what? Uncle?

So embarrassing.

You must remember that the distinction A WHOLE NOTHER is the opposite of THE EXACT SAME.

You do realize that much of the copy we read is:
Written in Japaneese,
translated into Thai by a Korean speaking clerk,
revised by a German lawyers assistant,
sent to Mexico to be be "looked-over" and re-translated to English,
edited by 'Homeland Security',
run through the legal offices of "Dewey, Haveum, and Howe",
sent to the Chineese printer who has a college graduate proof-reader,
'punched-up' by the Producer's 8 year old Neice in pencil on the "Final Copy",
and finally given to the VO Artiste' to read.

Or, placed on the sign at the shop run by an Egyptian - advertising "Crepes - Their Great!"

Who says VO work isn't a great multi-national learning experience?

Did I miss a step?

Frank,

I thought that was "Dewey, Cheetum and Howe"? Rolls Eyes
