  • Just for fun I decided to reorder this list according to my personal favourites (note these aren’t my actual top 37 of all her songs, just my ratings of the ones already on this list). This ended up taking me way too long because so many of them are so good but anyway here it is:

    • 2 — Cry
    • 3 — Your Type
    • 4 — All That
    • 5 — Want You In My room
    • 6 — Backseat (I like Carly, I like Charli, what more is there to say?)
    • 7 — Bad Thing Twice
    • 8 — Real Love
    • 9 — Call Me Maybe

  • Not until the definition of the word “of” changes.

    Well that’s what’s happening here isn’t it. It’s a word that is potentially gaining an additional use as a result of reanalysis. Whether it sticks around long term remains to be seen, but language is defined by usage and it’s foolish to pretend there’s such a thing as objectively correct. Already the use of the verb ‘to have’ to form the perfect in this case is quite different from it’s other meanings related to ‘to possess’. And that’s not even getting into you describing nonstandard usage as the result of ‘mush-mouthed laziness’ which is a whole nother can of worms.






  • The other thing is that Discord search is god awful. There’s absolutely no way to modify your search for better results, whether that’s to require something to appear exactly as typed, or to exclude certain results, it’s just you put in the words and hope you get the right thing. Sometimes that works out, but sometimes it will make the dumbest connections and render your search useless unless you want to trawl through pages of crap you don’t want. Like I’ve found out that Discord considers the words universal, universe, and university to be the same…
