"When they get to the final, the make it more fi-nite for these guys by
counting the decimal..."
A commentator during the olympic coverage of one of the rifle
competitions, explaining why the maximum score during the final is 10.9,
while the maximum score during the preliminaries is 10.
No matter how you slice it, "finite" makes no sense to me in this context.
