Take a drink every time a candidate cuts the "g" off of any word normally ending in "-ing." Matt thinks I'm being too English teacher-y about this, but I'm irritated about more than the bad enunciation. I get really sick of candidates trying to sound all folksy when they're really not. I still want to know when it became a bad thing to sound super-articulate as a world leader!

Hah! I've made a resolution to improve my diction after watching all these interviews. I refuse to sound like That Woman.

I can't wait! How about adding a bonus for every time she dodges the question with some cute little expression? It's beyond ridiculous.
