Revenge of the Canadian Brown Finch: News Reporting Gone Horribly Wrong

Would have been funnier if he got bombed by about 100 birds at once, after the first one.

“shoulda seen that coming” – looks up – pelt, pelt, pelt…

There is no such thing as a cacophony of birds. There could be a group of birds who burst into a cacophonous song. There could also be a group of birds that burst into a song of pure cacophony.

Please, no flaming. I’m not trying to sound pretentious. I’m just trying to point out the incorrect use of a word.

@Jason E. – it’s cool that you’re interested in word usage; to expand upon that, if you haven’t done so already you might find it interesting to browse the OED for its etymology, or look into linguistic commentary on ‘prescriptivism vs. descriptivism,’ or heck, read the preface Samuel Johnson wrote for his Dictionary of the English Language (lord help me, I LOVE Samuel Johnson). Sure, there’s a lot to be said for standardization but it’s also exciting to realize how very -fluid- language is and has always been, and how illusory the idea of “absolute, fixed, immutable” word usage actually is. I say this as someone with strong prescriptivist yearnings myself (because it IS so much fun, darn it) … but do look into it if you haven’t before, it truly is a neat viewpoint to consider …

Jason, language is driven by popular usage, not grammar teachers. You need a little revolution in your life.

And you’re wrong. The video is a promotion for a new brand of bottled water that does an exceptional job of removing that lingering sense of bird poop in your mouth.

Grammer fight!

Two Birds, One Reporter?

“should have seen that one coming,” [look up, mouth open] priceless.

Oh, and Jason, when you say “not trying to sound pretentious,” does that really mean, “I know this is really pretentious, but if I add a disclaimer, I am not being such a huge dick.”

I’m with Jason. You can try to justify the fluidity of language, but at the end of the day I judge you when you misuse words. Mistakes like this aren’t deliberate forays into the new frontier of language, they’re just stupid slip-ups.
