He replied "Can I make something clear! this is twitter! Not an English GCSE haha I’ll spell as BADLY as I wish awritemayte!... Oh is this about #Beneath”YOUR”Beautiful I love how crazy this has sent people…. It was to annoy english teachers and grammar Nazis." <br /><br />This is an excerpt taken from Wikipedia. Labrinth admits he did not use poetic license--however much we would like to believe he did. How did this mistake get past so many people? I fear for the future of the English speaking world... It does not take a "Grammar Nazi" to figure out this mistake. It takes a third grader. I couldn't figure out what the song meant at first. I was asking myself, "Deep beneath her beautiful WHAT?" Clarity is important. That's why we have rules in English.

Do they not mean 'see beneath your beautiful' as in exterior? xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14659506577405725194noreply@blogger.com
