I've tried to explain that a couple of times with dismal results, an accomplished wordsmith I'm not. Thanks for doing the video! It really shows how easy it is to time a listeroid.

One of the best instructional videos I've ever watched, 38ac.  You must have been a instructor/teacher at some point.
Thanks!

A fear I have is now that everyone can listen to me drawl along in the video I can no longer fool people into thinking I am smart.  ???

Just like you the more words I tried to use the more it sounded complicated insted of simple, thus, a video.

You aint kidding anybody here professor. :D

Yes I know the fear of sounding like a hay seed. I got a little air time on a TV show. Lucky for me another person in the segment was from the south, so I fit right in.

The segment starts around the 33 minute mark on the clip, and my small part starts at 37:24. My favorite shot (the drive over) is at the very end.
