Maybe one of the mods needs to start a "Definition of Home" thread, move all this nonsense to it and let this one get back to E$PiN?

I vote we call it the "Milictionary" thread so there's a home for all his various tilts at the windmills of the English grammatical establishment.

You mean just like the baseball term "hit and run" where the base runner starts running before the ball is hit? :roll1: Should be called a "run and hit" play...

I don't give fuck if the term "home-and-home" had been misused to the point inclusion in Merriam-Webster, it's still incorrect and violates plain common sense...genius.

So fuck ESPN and Merriam-Webster. A two-game series where one game is played at Team A's home venue and the other at Team B's venue is a "home and away", because it's exactly that...one home game and one away game for both teams.

When will these fucks learn that it's "home-and-away"? Each team plays a home game and an away game. Morons...

This is one of those times when the perspective changes in the middle of the sentence. Somehow, it's from one team's point of view the first time you say "home", but then it's from the second team's point of view the second time you say "home". Lame. Those of us taught in schools outside of M*ch*gan learned that you don't change perspective in the middle of a bloody sentence.

I know that's the terminology used, and I know what it means. But it's as bad as saying you're going to go take a dump, when you really mean you're going to go leave it there.
