    Since it's a little less than a mere 53 hours until game 1 starts, I'd like to pass some time with a pronounciation correction. I once knew a guy named Sergio and he beat me up pretty good until I got it right so I notice now when people get it wrong. Mike and Mike are both terrible at it.

    Sergio is not pronounced "Surge-io". It's pronounced with the -er- as in Errol or Serra. So say it to yourself ... Surge-io versus Serr-gio. You can hear it. :dunno:

    I nominate HCP to make it clear to Mike and Mike that they've been saying Sergio's name wrong for the last two plus years. I'm guessing that our Sergio is a nicer guy than the Sergio I knew and just doesn't bother to correct people.

    There...two minutes have passed and we're that much closer to game time.

    What makes you say that's the only thing? Because I list one? Should I list them all? Should I pick the best or pick something that I think is silly and will pass the time? You apparently make the rules so feel free to dictate your standards of what merits posting.

    hey 2 of your 7 posts are about this topic so 28.5% of your posts are about Cha-cho's name pronunciation... just think there are better things to talk about. no need to get testy.
