Haha. I want an official to start with 'Dear...' and a mid-long pause in between now.  

 

Koreans are very polite when it comes to adressing people. You're even supposed to adress your brother/sister and grandparents with honorific titles.

not exactly :), it depends on occasion like in Japan, it depends on age of a kid

 

They have honorative forms - sure - but it`s not like they use it always when they say hello in the morning ;p

Maybe it's the time of the day here, maybe it's the production, maybe it's just me. But I really don't feel captivated at all. To the point I can't wait for the mixed curling to be back.

Maybe it has loosened a bit nowadays.

 

About welcoming, how about 'Welcome to all lifeforms and inanimate objects on planet Earth'?

Interestingly Bach didn't take part at the individual event in 1976. So his role in the team was presumably small.

Haha, this oath was also made 4 years ago.
