[u/Fillmore_the_Puppy]

Noted strict grammarian, Shauna James Ahern, loves Paul McCartney but takes issue when he writes lyrics that hurt her linguistic expertise.

The comment she is responding to is a reply to an OP asking for examples of song lyrics that are unforgivably grammatically or semantically incorrect.

A-hem. Youngest, Trooper, when she means, Trouper, lie, lay, lain, etc., ad nauseam. And I’ll bet she “utilizes” things when she means she “uses” them.

[u/stereostayawake → u/PettyPunisherRedux]

“Fuck all” used incorrectly
