In the scene where he comes stumbling out of the Forbidden Forest insane, he
refers to Voldy as  "the Dark Lord." Later, when Harry is trying to
reporting the incident to Dumbledore, he says Crouch said "something about
Voldemort getting stronger. ..."

Which, in light of recent speculation, is quite interesting. Perhaps he was
so used to hearing Jr. refer to Voldy that way that he picked it up himself.
