Obama should get sued by the RIAA.

That's not the song he sang, though. Am I missing something?

ultraholland: Obama should get sued by the RIAA.

Technically speaking, it was a public performance. BMI will be most displeased.

Of course, they've never been quite as insane as the RIAA...though they have had their moments.

Now that the power of the President to affect sales of artists back catalogues has been established, I fully expect him to be singing "West End Girls" with Joe Biden beatboxing the tune at the next State of the Union.

I'd love to see Newt perform that one. . .

Could be Michigan. All my relatives in Michigan are unable to conjugate to go properly. If I never hear "I should have went" again it will be too soon.

An ex of mine (and her parents) had a habit of dropping 'to be' from a sentence. So while I would say something like "The dishes need to be washed" she might say "The dishes need washed"

So too, was from Michigan...maybe it's a Midwest thing?

I've also heard that "you wanna come with?" is a Midwestern thing too. As in, "I'm going to go to the mall. You wanna come with?" and non-Midwesterners think that's weird. Since I'm a Midwesterner, I think that's perfectly normal speech.

I hear that a lot down here in the Maryland, Deleware, South PA and Jersey region.

These people need put down.

Or is correlation not causation only when Republicans and other non-Democrats do it?

Did not read comments and I do not care how many people have already posted this. Unless I'm missing a joke in the headline, it's "have gone," not "have went."
 
2012-01-27 06:37:29 PM
I have went for two years without seeing the grammatically proper use of what idiots on this site use for "have gone."

I feel right at home now.
