I vote for "George" when you're in Hammond's POV. Everything sounds weird until people get used to it. If there's enough verbage in Hammond's POV then people will get used to it, and if there's not then it doesn't matter anyway.

Also, there's no reason to have the second apostrophe in "de-goa'uld'ed" so kill it. :)

And, umm, no, I don't think there's a hammond_daily. :P Unless you want to start one...? [grin]
