spelling
People who know me know I tend to be kind of a nag when it comes to proper spelling. this isn't the Canturbury Tales, people. I've been becoming acclimated to the "u means you" thing, because of the sheer volume of people who do it (my mother apparently included). Still, it does kind of get on my nerves.
Now, about a week ago I was shown the video for "Fergalicious", one of the memes perpetuated on the world by Fergie. Fergie, you may be surprised to learn is not, in fact, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of Wales*, who previously bore that nickname in popular media. No, this woman who appears to be completely made of Cyberotic Rubber**, is a completely different animal***.
Getting to the point: As all popular music is these days, the pop gem Fergalicious (you know, the more I look at that horrific portmanteau the more i can kind of see it as being that sound that comes out of you right as you realize you've been drinking far too much) has been engineered to be as catchy as humanly possible. And of course, the part that got completely stuck in my head, which is still playing even now after roughly 12 hours of soothing Final Fantasy XII music is:
TO THE T
TO THE A
(something that sounds like a robot elephant getting a rabies shot)
TO THE S-T-E-Y
GIRL YOU TASTY
And I mean, you know, that's okay. I've had pop songs stuck in my head before, it's always ended well, whatever, c'est la vie, price we pay for living in this modern world BUT "TASTY" ISN'T SPELLED WITH A FUCKING E PASS IT ON.
Okay.
I'm good.
I'm alrighNO FUCKING "E". THIS IS NOT A LIVING EVOLVING LANGUAGE THING THIS IS A FUCKING MORONIC SONG THING. NO, I REPEAT, NO, EVER, NO "E" IN TASTY.
OK. Calm. Cool. Collected. I just really needed to get that out. E.
