    Who decreed that the EPL can no longer be called the Premiership, and why? I'm getting tired hearing commentators correct each other.

    Question #85248. Asked by darkpresence. (Sep 02 07 3:05 PM)

    		I'm not finding anything that points to a ban of the EPL being referred to as "The Premiership." Perhaps, you are hearing commentators as they attempt to keep sponsors happy?

    "The Premier League (officially known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons, colloquially known as The Premiership, a.k.a. EPL)."

    		Actually no, the first I knew of it was where I read it in the paper, now I hear it every Saturday, it's very annoying. Baloo, I work weekends so I never actually get to watch the football, I listen to the radio, how quaint. It's like forty years ago, I should really say I follow on the old wireless...

    I looked up the lyrics of Michael Jackson's "Black or White" on 6 different sites. They all have part of it written as: I Am Tired Of This Devil I Am Tired Of This Stuff I Am Tired Of This Business Sew When The Going Gets Rough I Ain't Scared Of Your Brother... Is the word really "sew" instead of "so" - do they ALL have it wrong? Or are you supposed to sew when the going gets rough?
