ABC World Cup Soccer commentator says
“nerves of steel to do it in a final like what he just did“
Commentators reflect and model the language of their target audience. Is there anything actually wrong with this phrase? I don’t know why it made me wince, but it did.

A local celebration of specialness involved walking around in khaki cargo pants demonstrating evidence of fertility (children) herded on bicycles. At least, that’s what it looked like to me. Me = Furriner.
I was baffled by the city parade today. “What are we celebrating?” No-one seemed to know. “It’s Derby Days“, “What’s that?”. The sheer abundance of khaki cargo pants was overwhelming. Is there a conspiracy to reduce visual diversity? Even women appear to wear variations on the theme. In this city the dress trends appear to conspire to dampen evidence of diversity.
