VHS Archive So you advocate a language that stands still and never changes? If that were the case we would still be speaking Elizabethan English or something even older. Languages evolve and change over time. To deny that just means you’re stuck with a language that eventually dies.

[@vintagevhsarchive]

@@pjschmid2251 The ultimate objective of language is to clearly express feelings and ideas. I'm in favor of changes which further that objective. New words are great, more precise language is great. But if we have words that have different established meanings, it serves no constructive purpose to use them interchangeably. Using "of" in place of "have" (would of, etc.) is a devolution. It isn't change, it's ignorance, and it undermines the purpose of having language at all.

[@herrbonk3635]

Sure, but you could say "less traffic" in English, despite being countable. In my native language, we may even speak about "less cars", "less fruit", or "less oranges" in an abstract sense. (Not sure about English in that case.) But we would never reverse it and say "fewer juice", of course. That would sound as crazy as it would in English.

The Hamilton Polka is his most recent single release (not counting the Biden-Trump debate video he surprised us all with this past week). He's got a wealth of material to work with right now. OMG.

This song is unique being that it in the ONLY song in which Al took a legit shot at someone. In the second chorus is the line "You should never white words with numbers unless you're 7 or your name is "Prince"'. Al legitimately did this to make Prince angry, as the two had a real beef because Prince refused to allow Al to parody his music, because he thought it would make his songs look immature and stupid. Right up to the day Prince passed away, they hated each other.

[@leonielson7138]

Even though parodies are protected under Fair Use and his band recreates the song by ear instead of relying on sheet music, "Weird Al" requests permission from the artist before doing a parody. Prince was famous for always denying a request to parody, while Sir Paul McCartney's requested the parody of 'Live and Let Die' be changed from 'Chicken Pot Pie' to 'Veggie Pot Pie' (because he's a vegetarian) required so many changes that Yankovic dropped the project. Madonna claims that she came up with the title 'Like a Surgeon' for the parody of her song 'Like a Virgin', but it turned out that she and Yankovic just have similar senses of humor - you can see her do a cameo in the parody of 'Born This Way' by Lady Gaga, called 'Perform This Way'. The only time he didn't have permission from the artist directly was for the parody of Coolio's 'Gangster's Paradise', called 'Amish Paradise' - Yankovic had gotten permission from the producers, but not the artist directly, and assumed that Coolio had approved. Since then, he's made sure to speak with the artist directly.

In some communities the word 'they're' has completely vanished. Instead: "They crazy." or "They be crazy." Then there's a complete breakdown of 'there' 'they're' and 'their.'

Their grammar is poor and their spelling is horrendous.

Enjoying your Weird Al journey. I'm up for any song of his you want to do a reaction to. Might be interesting to see some non-parody Weird Al songs at one point. Perhaps even doing one of his polka songs which he basically sings parts of a lot of popular songs (not parody versions) but does it in the style of polka. I personally love a lot of his older stuff but if you don't know the song he's parodying then it might make it less enjoyable than it should be. Still a lot of good stuff there though.

[@watcherwlc53]

Less is uncountable nouns, fewer is for countable nouns.

A lot of people confuse less and fewer. Use fewer for quantities that can be counted, and use fewer when they cannot be counted. For example, I had less money after I spent all day at the amusement park, and I also had fewer dollar bills. There were fewer customers in line at the supermarket when I shopped at 11PM, and there was also less traffic on the roads.
