sorry, i don’t understand either. maybe we’d have to hear it, the inflection, the length of the vowel (o) vs length of diphthong (w) to understand but this is quite a stretch as you have laid it out here

Radio (and/or TV Hosts)do not start talking about a clip and then shout “Go”. It’s just unnatural but it was unique to Levin. I noticed it IMMEDIATELY when I first listened to him. I have been listening to O’Reilly much longer and trust me if you pulled out 10 years of show archives and watched every episode, you would find that he NEVER introduced a clip that way. He only started recently and it was -after- the big Mark Levin showdown. He clearly started listening to Levin recently and he clearly copied him on this stylistic manner.

It obviously isn’t important but if you haven’t heard what I’m talking about, listen to the clip I posted at the above linked blog. “GO!”

My degree and my entire life has been in Broadcast Communications. I hone in on speech and style.
