Keep an eye out when he gets to the part about irony; there’s an image of rain on a wedding day, which is a jab at Alanis Morrisette’s big hit song “Ironic” which is notorious for using the term “ironic” incorrectly.
Which she did on purpose. The only irony in the song was the fact that she named it Ironic without it having any actual irony in it. Brilliant. It wasn’t a jab, just coincidence 😉
It's important to proof read emails, text, social media comments etc. I proofread a work email and meant to say "wasn't" but I typed "was". Im so glad that I proofread it before sending it.
I think the origins of the spelling problems in texting are from the early phones that allowed texting BUT we only had the telephone keypads to work with and each letter was shared by 3 numbers! It was born out of trying to text as quickly as possible
I've always regarded that emails and internet posts should be written as clearly as a letter. (Do you remember those?) I notice that UA-cam's "spell checker" can be quite wrong, at times. Still, I will check the spelling on seldom-used words, if it "doesn't look right." I have misspelled words when I didn't proofread responses, so I too, am guilty of "Word Crimes." I looked up Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and wanted to wash off the keyboard! (It's "Rapey" stuff.:(
I love Weird Al and it's Amazing to me that his band, who has been the same band since the beginning, can play ANY type of music from Polka to Rock and everything in between. You guys mentioning that when you get a hand written letter it just surprises me that kids nowadays can't even READ Cursive writing anymore, I mean they don't teach it in school anymore, which is RIDICULOUS to me. Best wishes from British Columbia.
I encountered a non cursive reader at a FedEx. I had to type the name and address for her. Generation X isnt dead yet, those guys are in for many frustrating years of not being able to read! I love British Columbia, and your name. Very poetic!
Prince is the only artist to have turned Al down multiple times when asked for permission to do parodies of some of his songs, and has apparently been rather nasty about it. So Al sneaks in a Jab at prince every now and then in his songs as a subtle payback for being a jerk.
3:52 - When he says "Time to learn your homophones is past due", they're showing "Lightening" and "Lightning"... If only the people who changed "Thunder Force IV" into "Lightening Force" saw this video...

One thing that drives me crazy is when people say "I feel nauseous" when they should say "I feel nauseated." "Nauseous" means something that causes nausea.
Could be literally holding the thing that causes the nausea but the majority of the time that is used erroneously is by people thinking it is the correct term.
I have loved Weird Al's stuff since I was a kid (and I'm pretty old now so that tells you how long he's been around). I love this whole song, because it's informative. But I particularly like his criticism of "I could care less." I have always disliked that expression because, as he says. It means you DO care. But I've always been accused of strict grammar (I think I spelled that right). Great video and reaction. I subscribed.
I love that you guys enjoyed the song so much! Adam, you've definitely got some "table dancing" skills, bopping along like you did. I have been a Weird Al fan since I was six. The first song of his I ever heard was "I Love Rocky Road", and the first album I ever bought was his "Even Worse" album since I was also a Michael Jackson fan at the time. Now that I'm grown up and in my 40s, I'm still a huge fan. I have a degree in English lit and a love for the English language in general, and this song NEVER GETS OLD. And it still makes me laugh. Definitely in my top 5 favorites.

Weird Al has done other good parodies such as "Like a Surgeon" that parodies Madonna's song "Like A Virgin" and "Living With A Hernia" which is a parody of "Living In America"

I don't know if you guys are fans of the Simpsons or not, but he has a nod to one of their longtime characters (now since retired, due to the death of the voice actress), Mrs. Krabappel. Right after he sings "If you don't know how to conjugate", it scrolls to the top of the paper where the teacher's name is Mrs. Krabappel. Notice also, at the very beginning of the song, where he shows pages of the dictionary, you can quickly catch "accordion" (his instrument of choice) and a picture of himself within the pages of Webster's.
Only Al could make a lesson fun. If you haven't, check out "Living With a Hernia" (parody of "Living in America" by James Brown). Al teaches everyone about the common types of hernias you could get in that one.
4:17 He literally responded the same way as the example. It's called a "literal expressive" to exaggerate the figurative statement which by grammar terms is acceptable.
I am forgiving of abbreviating words down to single letters because of how messaging used to have a fairly restrictive character count, as well as the speed needed to communicate with text in games where timing is critical to success.

C'mon. You just watched word crimes and then at 5:56 say "it literally sits on your brain stem" and put your hand on your head somewhere around the parietal lobe, nowhere near your brain stem. :) (But good video guys!)
Never mind the references, using ellipsis the way you just did is more or less an word crime these days. I'd say you're born in the 80s. You are the very thing this song is about. (I tend to use it that way aswell)
How often do we learn things with the help of music. Thank You Weird Al for the lesson and all your great music. Guys keep going down the Weird Al Rabbit Hole!
fun fact and a maybe fact weird al pays for the licence for all his parodied songs,(maybe fact?) Michael Jackson apparently liked the idea so he let al use the actual sets of beat it and bad and was present for some of the recording sessions.

Hey From Saskatchewan! I would like to let you guys know that I love your videos that you guys do and I have sent you lost of requests but I know that you havr lost to pick from! Nice pick on Weird Al music video....! Have you guys heard of the band from Saskatchewan called The Dead South....??
Hey Mitchell! Sorry that we haven't done your requests. Sometimes its very hard to manage the requests, filming, editing, tending to personal stuff, work stuff and all the other stuff in between haahaha. We appreciate you keep sending us requests :). SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I actually have heard of The Dead South but haven't checked out their stuff. I will now thought! :) thanks for the suggestions! - Adam
To be nit picking on it, while I am guilty for lots of this "word crimes" I do try to spell check all stuff I write. But irony is that Weird Al has a wrong letter in his name when he is writing his name. It is not written "Yankovic" but "Janković" but I guess we can skip that.....
"Stephen Pinker argued that the way most people say “could care less”-the way they emphasize the words-implies they are being ironic or sarcastic along the lines of the Yiddish phrases like “I should be so lucky!” which typically means the speaker doesn’t really expect to be so lucky"
What’s funny (at least for me) is that I know people try to get their point across quickly in texts or web posts. But for me as the reader come across a spelling or grammatical error it as though the writer just threw up a brick wall and I have to stop and think about what they’re saying.
It doesn't help when some people don't even bother with simple punctuation like commas or periods - or they use commas in place of other punctuation. It makes people's statements challenging to understand at best, and horrific at worst. 😖
This is like the 17th vid on this song I've watched; found the demographics funny, but also that this one didn't particularly react to the prince comment lol. Edit: beyond the above, 0 (ZERO) reaction to the cunning linguist lyric. So it's just these blokes being bleh. Tracking now and my own reaction to this video makes sense. 🤮 why even bother posting this, blokes?
Also, with Twitter and TikTok, there are character limits, so ppl use shorthand. I think if you can understand what ppl are saying, then it's fine, but people are just being pedantic and they don't have a real argument. It's also kind of classist because not everyone is well educated. It's a UA-cam comment, not an academic paper!
It bums me out that you guys have gone so downhill with the reaction choices lately. I love the stand up reactions but all the family guy videos and random ones like this just aren't entertaining. Still love the channel and I understand there's only so much stand up but there's so much out there still!

@@zoetercy9208 strong use of the word genius... lol but to each their own..I'm in no position to tell you what to think is funny.

I'm just bored of their reaction choices in general tho and this was more just the icing on the cake, nothing against him specifically. I like the channel a lot but losing interest
Ok, so you dont like Weird Al. That's fine. That doesn't mean the channel is going "downhill". What was this, the second Weird Al video? I think the channel has a wide variety of reactions. Comedy, educational, try not to laugh, there's something for everyone here.
@@RayD_19 Al's been going strong for over 40 years, he's won 5 grammys, has 7 platinum and 5 gold albums. His concerts are sold out and amazing, I've seen him 5 times in the last 6 years. Only 4 artists have had a top 40 song in each of the last 4 decades, Michael Jackson, Madonna, U2 and Weird Al. Al's outlasted almost every artist he's parodied.
Keep an eye out when he gets to the part about irony; there’s an image of rain on a wedding day, which is a jab at Alanis Morrisette’s big hit song “Ironic” which is notorious for using the term “ironic” incorrectly.

Ok, so you dont like Weird Al. That's fine. That doesn't mean the channel is going "downhill". What was this, the second Weird Al video? I think the channel has a wide variety of reactions. Comedy, educational, try not to laugh, there's something for everyone here.
@@RayD_19 Al's been going strong for over 40 years, he's won 5 grammys, has 7 platinum and 5 gold albums. His concerts are sold out and amazing, I've seen him 5 times in the last 6 years.
Only 4 artists have had a top 40 song in each of the last 4 decades, Michael Jackson, Madonna, U2 and Weird Al.
Al's outlasted almost every artist he's parodied.
