Of late, the only MLB games available on ESPN have involved the Yankees. The Yankees winning, to be precise. All this makes for rather unhappy viewing. It also seems as if Robinson Cano hits a double everytime I watch. He is one of my preferred Yankees, but I would still much rather watch National League ball or at least a more representative mix of games that involve other teams.
Another little peeve is the use of the word "Singapore" as a demonym: Singapore Grand Prix, Singapore citizen (look in your Singapore passport if you have one), Singapore government. No other country uses the country's name in this way if a demonym is readily available. Grands Prix are Australian, Malaysian, or Chinese. They are attended by French, German, and Japanese citizens. And a search on Google News for "Singapore government" (with the inverted commas) turns up 280 results, while "Singaporean government" turns up 23 old articles. In contrast, there are 27 results for "Malaysia government" and 363 results for "Malaysian government".
Some country's names do not lend themselves nicely to a demonym that rolls smoothly off the tongue - hence "Monaco Grand Prix" instead of "Monegasque Grand Prix" and "New Zealand citizen" instead of "New Zealander citizen" - but I see nothing wrong or awkward about being a "Singaporean citizen" or watching the "Singaporean Grand Prix".
