Cool. I won't see it, but still neat.
Maybe it will show up on YouTube or someplace for the rest of us to see it.

The breakdown has definitely changed a lot in the last couple of years. It was pretty steady between 2002-2008 but then it really began going all over the map.

Interviewing rule number one: correctly pronounce the name of the person you are interviewing.

It's the poor telemarketers that have the worst time with it . . . "Is Eye-ann Col-qwa-houn there?" Oh dear . . .
