This evening (6pm, London time) I'll be hosting a very casual video chat about the future of Magnolia, in particular to develop a roadmap to version 1.0. I have about 15 people signed up, but please DM me if you are interested in Magnolia, and would like to get an invitation.

What's the difference in meaning beween "do some sport" and "do sports and "do some sports?" "For sports" and "for sport" has the same meaning in the States, I'm pretty sure.
I don't think we say "for sports"; it sounds a little unconventional, but wouldn't raise an eyebrow with most people. The first three are essentially the same to me. Others would distinguish the "sport" of hunting from other "sports" of physical exercise.

In fact, anyone involved in "hunting for sport" would probably have stronger opinions on when to say "sports" and when to say "sport".
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The pertinent section in the news is still called "Sport" though, right? In the states, you could imagine the anchor turning to the sports report and saying "And now for Sports..."

No, I think they're used interchangeably these days. I certainly hear, "and now, the news and sport". The more I think about it, the more I think that "sports" is used as an adjective, and "sport" as a noun, because I would expect alternatively, "and now, the sports news".
