They also use "Sport" singular when talking about Sports. In the papers it is the Sport Page, and on the TV news, "Up Next, a round up of the weekend Sport".

I married into a Boston Irish family and I can tell you this:the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral is on less drunk.I'm Boston Irish myself and can attest to the fact that God created whiskey in order to keep the Irish from ruling the world.
And,anyway,I believe that Kennedy is a Scot,not Irish.
To: Boundless
Yes. I noticed the "seaking" vs "seeking" problem.
Could there be a literacy problem at the BBC or is
this some sort of British spelling convention that
we don't know about?

Probably a good time for him to enter politics and further torture the American people. Seems a family tradition.

The last time Teddy had a problem with booze it was when his stock of Pinch & Pinch was exhausted.
