| ANTHEM | A Nation's Tune Has Everyone Mouthing! |
Angela Brett, reflecting on the observation than in any sports event or other such occasion where people are required to sing the national anthem, most of the participants don't know all the words, so try their best at moving their mouths so they'll appear to be singing. |

| CHRISTMAS SONGS | Carols Have Rhythm? I'm Supposed To Make Accented Syllables Syncopic & Overextend Nearly Gratuitous Syntax |
Angela Brett, noting that the rhythm in many Christmas carols is terrible... some unstressed syllables are ludicrously elongated while others are omitted. Even seasoned churchgoers hesitate at some lines, wondering just how to fit the words into the tune. As some words are replaced by more modern versions the rhythm is screwed up even more, and the difficulty is made worse by the fact that different parishes offer slightly different modernisations to fit into the same tune.
