ito cut a long story short we have been watching the TED conference at work. if you dont know what the TED conference is here is a link, but its basically a bluesky thinking iSmug type affair with "leaders in the field of..." speaking:

www.ted.com

anyway, one of the curators who presents the speakers to the audience says, "standing O" instead of, "standing ovation". Standing O. Standing. O. he also has a weird hybrid US/UK accent.

the end.
