Title: An Open Letter to All Sportscasters Post by: ALTideUp on March 07, 2012, 07:00:29 PM It's "unCHARTED waters" or "unCHARTED territory"
The charting is another word for mapping. An area of land or water that has yet to be explored and mapped out is uncharted. It's NOT "unCHARTERED waters" or "unCHARTERED territory" Ex. The Colts have not had to draft and develop a quarterback for 20 years, so for them this is uncharted territory. That is all.

It's not "for all intensive purposes", it's "for all intents and purposes" Title: Re: An Open Letter to All Sportscasters Post by: Chechem on March 07, 2012, 08:22:38 PM It's not "critical position" in the hospital. Only Cajuns say that. Hint: "critical condition". Title: Re: An Open Letter to All Sportscasters Post by: Chechem on March 07, 2012, 08:24:12 PM Les Miles "takes it for granite" (granted).
