Chris, hello.
Hi. We've had an excellent entry into the Newscast inbox for political and news and current affairs malapropisms.
Oh, terrific.
Martha sent us this message.
She said, hello, Newscast.
You asked in your recent episode for things that people have misheard on the news.
Whilst it's not mishearing, for many years I read MOD, Ministry of Defence, on a news article.
I always thought it meant Match of the Day.
It wasn't until recently that I realized my mistake.
I was very confused for a long time why Match of the Day were making certain announcements.
Yeah, that's a good one, Martha.
I like it.
And I can sort of see how that could be simultaneously confusing.
But one of those things that isn't sufficiently kind of irritating or frequent that you feel
like you've got to Google it and sort it out.
And therefore it just sort of sits there.
And everyone knows now the acronym for Match of the Day is MOTD.
Anyway,
keep your acronym confusions or any kind of aural confusions coming to Newscast at BBC.co.uk.
