Deeg's said he knows Pala like the back of his head. I wish I knew what the back of my head looked like.
I hear the same thing with "may" instead of "can." In many cases, "may" is the correct term. However, you'd never say, "May you send me the paperwork?" (Well, unless you were asking if someone else had to give permission for the person you are querying.) "Can" or "will" are the proper terms in this instance; "can" meaning "able," and "will" meaning "willing" or "inclined."
We have some 23-year-old girl working in shipping and I hear this word SUS, what does that mean?

LoL! My gf's 11yr old daughter uses that. Sus=suspect. I think thats what it means
At least that is shortening the word. The substitutes that don’t shorten the words stress my brain. 😆
I think your sons right and everyone else is wrong. Sideways means two things, you can move sideways or something could be standing up sideways. Sidewards would indicate direction of travel just like backwards and forwards, versus sideways like stack them sideways or parked sideways. I like it ! What’s Falcon say ?
Pretenders come & go .. & while it's only natural to be infatuated with the latest perceived moto faux pas of the (sic) language, there still remains but one & only one to rule them all.
It's been a few years years now but 'Outstandable' maintains it's place as the pinnacle of the genre.
..moto fox paws...
Sorry, had to do it 😀😀
You've mastered case closability here with this. My impressibility is piqued, and my comfortability with your grammaribility is sky high!
Damn, beat me to it 😂
My favorite thing is when RC asked himself a question and then answered it every week during SX.
”Sexton has to watch out for those ruts on the faces. Why do I say that? Well because those ruts can make you crash”. Thanks RC 🫡
He can deny it all he wants but Weedge reads and I wholeheartedly believe he does this to Fuq with us. Just like he and GL would play word games with the broadcast to see if they could squeeze random words into it. Hence “crown molding” that James brought back this weekend. The little dirt devil even used “rolling” this past weekend.
Always chuckled at the use of the word Comfortability on a dirtbike broadcast, but if the shoe fits put it on for its wearability to see if the wheelbarrow has pushability.
Think I heard JT call Jett, Jennifer Lawrence early in the broadcast but that’s for another thread.
Compliancey is way too common, and wrong. Also dampening when used to describe suspension. Compliance and damping are way more corrector..
At Ironman 2022 someone in the booth referred to a pass made as “sexton squirting up the inside of Tomac”.
That was my last day.
My feeling is that RC does that as a technique. I'm sure he's been told by a commentary coach to use the phrase as a way to help with his own clarity. However, RC has not learnt to get rid of the crutch. It's the same with 'and the reason I say that is'. As in: 'Tomac likes that inside line, and the reason I say that is because, it's faster than the outside line' (that's a good example of the sophistication of RC's analysis). I'm not sure if RC realises 'because' by itself covers the rest of the second clause of the sentence.
Ralph must have been back in the booth for the day.

That isn't how the word is being used. It is being used identically to the word "comfort." A thing that has comfort is comfortable. It isn't a word. It isn't needed at all. We aren't a bunch of Shakespeares creating new-but-necessary words. We are just repeating things made up out of ignorance.
I heard it too! I just about lost it. Mixed metaphors and malapropisms abound. The next will be something like, "It's just dirtbikes. It isn't rocket surgery."
They also don't seem to know about adverbs and the "ly" suffix...
You're sus for not knowing.
I believe the proper usage would be sideward, without the "s" at the end. Like toward, forward, or backward.
EDIT: Yes, it means "in the direction of." That's what the suffix "-ward" means. You can insert virtually any word that has a direction involved before it. Here are some I can think of: windward, leeward, toward, backward, forward, upward, downward, rearward, northward, southward...
Also, I'm not 100% convinced by the AI responses above about "comfortability." I don't see it in any of the dictionaries I use. "Comfort" or "comfortable" work just fine in any usage I can imagine for the term.
If you guys raced, practiced and sacrificed for the sport half as much as you bitched, you might be a pro too. As in FKNG also.
Hahah I caught that.. and Chase said the team threw the kitchen sink at his bike 😄
You’re assuming redundancy based purely on grammatical convenience, but language isn’t that tidy. “Comfort” (the noun) is simply the state itself, and “comfortable” (the adjective) describes something possessing that quality. But “comfortability” specifically describes the capacity or potential to provide comfort, emphasizing not just that comfort exists, but how effectively it can be delivered or experienced.
Think of it like this: “comfort” is a destination, “comfortable” describes being there, but “comfortability” is about the ease of getting to that destination. No redundancy, just nuance you’re missing by oversimplifying grammar.
You’re not alone
very good point. i yearn for simplicity, but you're correct -- language cannot always be simple.
That is definitely an overcorrection where somebody has pointed out their incorrect (but very common) usage of "good" as an adverb:
"He's riding good today"
"You mean he's riding well."
But they weren't detailed to the usage of parts of speech, so have veered into the exact opposite, but far less common (and therefore, more awkward) misuse of the modifiers.
