English borrowings

NBC had hyped that they would show the women's hockey gold medal match live. It turns out that they meant live on the USA cable channel, because they are showing figure skating live on the regular NBC network. No doubt they will show a replay of figure skating in prime time too. Meanwhile in a moment of fury, I told the VPN to pretend I'm in Toronto and went searching for a way to watch the CBC stream. I clicked on the sport I wanted. I have been given the Inuktitut commentators. Apparently the word for puck is puck. I just checked and the Korean word is also puck (퍽). Also in French, one of Canada's other languages. I was surprised that to hear the clock time in English. If something is mostly in a language I've never heard before the English parts pop to my ears.

End of the 1st period USA 0 Canada 0

That's pretty great.
