If I ever have to give a speech that does not involve reading straight from a script, I will remember to be careful about numbered lists. Every single time that someone in an audioconference uses "(1)" or "(a)" in speech, the pattern gets botched badly. Remember Buzz's A-2-D screwup in Home Alone? Too true.

Home Alone

I'm not sure I understand. I've seen Home Alone a million times, but I don't remember Buzz giving any speech except, "I'm going to feed you to my tarantula."

From IMDb:

Megan McCallister: You're not at all worried that something might happen to Kevin?

Buzz McCallister: No, for three reasons: A, I'm not that lucky. Two, we use smoke detectors and D, we live on the most boring street in the whole United States of America, where nothing even remotely dangerous will ever happen. Period.

Wow. I tried to block that movie out of my head before I got that in-depth with it. A, 2, D. That's silly. Buzz was the bully, right? Maybe that just reflects his stupidity?

Exactly.
