There are way too many different things out there, and if uou dislike most of today’s songs, an entire genre(s) you’re way too picky IMO. Amazingly actually. IMO songs can be about just around anything in life… So also arguments on what today’s songs are about, silly too.

I’m not some fan of the song but I’m also not getting peeved because someone decided to name the song The Way I Are instead of the The Way I Am. What matters to me if I comprehended something or not. That’s the main purpose of language IMO. Communication. Long as communication is achieved, check.

I don’t mind you either, as long as you don’t penalise the world with your hate of “bad” grammar. As long as you don’t attack people when they purposely or accidentally violate the rules you live your life by (because it isn’t nice to get at people just for having a different set of rules or lacking one). You could always, you know, correct someone though. (in cases of accidents). That shouldn’t count as attacking

And I just wrote a post about it that shares many of your sentiments almost verbatim. Just because of this fact, I think I’m going to add you to my blogroll.

CJ: The song’s been everywhere but it’s catchy, so I don’t think a lot of people have actually heard the lyric. It’s fine if people like it, but I still think it represents a larger problem of language being subverted… but maybe I’m just old-fashioned. ;)

Thanks for letting me know about your post. I’ll pop across later and check it out.

CJ: Sorry? I’m not sure what you mean, but hey, I find everything about the song weird. ;)

Let me know if you enjoyed it!

CJ: Oh, I don’t mind at all. This is brilliant! “Just throw out all those grammatical elements/There ain’t no need to say it right” – ROFLMAO! I just wish I’d thought of it! ;)

Thanks for the laugh, James. This is the funniest thing I’ve heard in ages. :)
