- Unnecessarily invert the word order of a sentence just to make it rhyme
- Use Till (as in cash register) to mean 'til (as in until)
- Use positional adjectives such as "higher" to describe physical properties (i.e. Where they should use "taller")
- Take words completely out of context e.g. "Deeper than a submarine" when in fact they mean "Deeper than an ocean"

Currently wanting to punch lyricists who do the following:
[quote="Motz"] "Deeper than a submarine" when in fact they mean "Deeper than an ocean"[/list]

OOOh that 'Deeper than a submarine' line, where's it from Motz? Not a goddy/assembly song you sing at school is it Motz?
Goes with your hatred of higher instead of taller...
I know's Great Big God, I do
He's higher than a skyscraper and deeper than a submarine

Five cups of coffee just to be myself...when I'd rather be somebody else
You've got me
And it's from Church. My school's reasonably secular and we're a little too old for that one anyhow
I'm starting to think that Christianity and grammatical ability are mutually exclusive. If someone's going to tell me that I'm going to hell, I'd rather they did it in proper English.
Can someone remind me why I go to Church?

There isn't any one correct form of english, any good linguist would know this. Proper English is one of many forms of english, just because it's the only one to reach prestige doesn't mean we should look down at the others.Motz wrote:Currently wanting to punch lyricists who do the following:The first one is acceptable when done properly. The remainder are completely cringe-worthy unless done for severe irony ¬.¬
