[Pre-Chorus]I see what you're typing, think I know what you meanBut it's hard to understand what I read on my screen[Chorus]Now you may think that it's funny, but I'm telling you classIf you don't watch your language you will look like an assThe way you try to spell things sends me over the edgeIt's not too much to ask to watch your language[Verse 1]Lately I've been hating how I always seem to findYour abusive use of language drives me out of my mindIt not so much the stuff you say or even how you talkBut how you write your words inside the little Twitter boxI understand you've only got a hundred forty charactersIt's not just your spelling, it's over half AmericasWhere do I start? Well, what can I say...It bothers me when you switch out "e" for "a"For example: "Affect" is a verb, meaning "influence""Effect" shows the result, like of this next sentence.How does it "affect" me when you hear this song and scoff?I'll tell you what the "effect" is. It's pissing me off!"Allude" is what you do when your subject is vague"Elude" is what you do when you try to evade.And don't get me started on swapping "than" for "then"Rather eat nails "then" get jailed "than" have to tell you this again.Letras de canciones[Chorus][Verse 2]For my second lesson on spelling and how you abuse it,If you don't know how to spell a word, don't attempt to use itThe first one is a French word, you spell it with a TO-U-C-H and an accent mark on EDon't spell it like it sounds, don't spell it "Too Shay"Or I will smack you verbally calling you "dou-che"Of course the word is "douche", that's what I'll mean to sayIt's pronounced differently but it's spelled the same wayAnd I don't get this one, why spell O-U-RWhen you mean A-R-E. Are you dumb? Oh, you are?O-U-R is pronounced "our", like 60 minutes of timeBut the H is silent there, "Are" and "Our" don't rhymeMy boss sent me an e-mail that I just could not believeIt said 'these our are hours' and I had to frikkin' leave.If you can't seem fit all these words into your brainGo and read the lyric sheet while I sing you this refrain[Chorus][Verse 3]This last thing on my list seems to get the most actionIt pains me to bring up the subject of contractionsI do not mean "don't", or "won't", or "can't"I mean the separation of another word and "have"When "have" has been contracted it's apostrophe V-Ewhich kind of sounds like "of", but it's "have", don't you see?And "kind of" really is "of" but "may of" just is notIf I see it typed that way once more someone's getting shotThe word is "should've" (short for "should have")The word is "could've" (short for "could have")The word is "would've" (short for "would have")How did your English teacher ever let you pass?It's not "should of" (it is "should have")It's not "could of" (it is "could have")It's not "would of" (it is "would have")Should've, could've, would've gotten held back in class![Pre-Chorus]Now you understand why they call me insaneI read these kind of things and it just melts my brainYou might call me a jerk, or just a grammar NaziBut seeing these mistakes makes me go Kamakaze[Chorus] From Letras Mania
