For the Mathematically Challenged...
-->Dear Tom and Ray:
In your weekly radio show on NPR, very often I have heard you use the phrase "during the third half of our show, we will..." I am not a native English speaker, but I thought there are only two halves to anything. Shouldn't you be really saying "during the third quarter of our show," or simply "later in the broadcast"?
It is just such a great show I didn't want you guys to get dinged on a trivial grammatical error. Or am I simply wrong in my grammar? Please enlighten me.
Thanks.
