I mean, I mean, I mean...

I'm just joking, honest - it was a interesting interview! Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for the link. I really like Jeremy's programs this year. Senior men's competition will be really interesting.

There really was no need for the author to paraphrase every ''you know''!!

Paraphrase means to restate text to express the meaning in different words from those originally used.

What you mean, you konw, like the author should have, have paraphrased the actual quotes to leave out, you know, all the you knows. Paraphrasing your comment, that is.

This isn't an article but a transcription from an audio recording of Abbott's media teleconference call. I appreciate the time that went into these transcriptions that are published on the ISIO site.

I want Jeremy to have the success and recognition he has deserved for several seasons.
His programs stand equal to those of the World medalists.
I believe he now has the confidence in his own ability needed to skate them to their potential.

^^ Thanks skatesindreams. I agree re Jeremy -- he deserves great success. I think Jere's programs this season, as well as his performance abilities are equal in stature to Takahashi's on both counts. Both Dai Taka and Jeremy IMHO should be rated above everyone else even when all perform to their best level.
