...on two counts, actually!
Firstly, I never thought I'd agree with anything Cristina Odone had to say.
Secondly, I dislike hype. Screaming fans are, for me, a turn off. Added to which I'm not really into pop music. My students, fascinated by the fact that I will burst into song at the drop of a hat, are flummoxed when they discover that I have no idea who the latest music sensation actually is.
However, it seems that teenage heart-throb, Justin Bieber, has spoken out against abortion, declaring, "It's like killing a baby!"
I still can't quite bring myself to listen to any of his music. But I shall be rather less scathing when the girls at school confess to being "Beliebers" !
A twitch of the mantilla to Bones.
Much as though I, like, dislike the parenthetical use of 'like', if it were used, like, in that statement, like, it would make an enormous difference.
ReplyDeleteI'd aware a 'good start but still a long way to go' for:
"It's like killing a baby"
and 10/10 (but poor English) for:
"It's, like, killing a baby!"
