Always say "to whom"; don't ever say "to who"
And that's why I think it's a good time
At least a little
Gonna familiarize you with the nomenclature
I hate these word crimes
I hate these word crimes
I read your e mail (yeah yeah)
If you can't write in the proper way
If you don't know how to conjugate
If you're doing good or doing well (everybody wise up)
It's really fantastic
Like "I could care less"
Like people who were
Literacy's your mission
Never mind, I give up
Never raised in a sewer
Now did I stammer?
Oh, but just now (just now) you said (you said)
Okay now here's some notes:
Really now, I give up
Saw your blog post (hey hey)
Say you got an I T followed by apostrophe S
Show the world you're no clown (everybody wise up)
Smack a crowbar upside your stupid head
Some cunning linguist
Syntax you're always manglin'
That means you do care
That people mock you online (everybody wise up)
That was sarcastic... (aw psych!) 'cause you write like a spastic
Well, you should hire
What's a contraction?
Write words using numbers
You dumb mouth breather
You should know when it's less or it's fewer
You'd better slow down and use the right pronoun
You'll learn the definitions of nouns and prepositions
You're incoherent
Your participle's danglin'
Your prose is dopey
