I think I have something against the letter 'T'. Not directly, of course. It's not like I walk the streets of Cleveland muttering to myself "Goddamn letter T! I hate that friggin letter!" or anything. I just came across two annoyances today, both involving it:
1) The word 'mature'. Now, I pronounce it muh-chure. On the soon-to-be-mentioned Hulu.com, an announcer before each episode pronounces it as mah-tour. Granted, that pronunciation is phonetically more correct, but it still irritates the piss out of me.
2) People who add it to the word 'Else', and pronounce it "elts". GAAA!!!

Anyhoo, about Hulu.com, it's a website that lets you watch tv shows and even a bunch of full-length movies for free. The commercial breaks usually consist of a single 15-second public service or Acura commercial. Barely enough time to grab another beer before it's on again. Anyway, just the other day, a guy at work was talking about the show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". So I get on Hulu and start at Season 1, episode 1. I'm hooked. I've just finished off episode 6 of season 2, in which I paused and made the following screen shot:
Camera 2. The thing that got me was how long it lingered in the shot, almost two seconds.
