Pet Peeve Time
I rowed on the Oregon State University Varsity CREW Team. That's what it's
officially called, like it or not. Same with Stanford, MIT, University of Washington many other respectable organizations with long histories. That said, note that the following page shows the terms to be pretty evenly split in actual usage: http://www.truesport.com/Row/links.htm Brian D "raoul" wrote in message ... In article . com, wrote: Yesterday, i was in Orlando for a crew regatta for my sons crew team OT: There is no such thing as a 'crew team'. You can have a rowing crew or a rowing team but youcannot have a rowing crew team. "Crew" is defined stricty as a group of people working on a task and, in this case a group of people rowing together. "Team" is defined similarly. To say "crew team" is as ponderious and illinformed as saying "Crew crew" or "Team team". |
