Walking past HMV this morning, I noticed a huge poster for supergroup The Black Eyed Peas. Now, I'm not one for rap or pop or anything with a monotonous beat, but the copywriter in me always flinches at that one. Cause they're not eyed peas who happen to be black. Gramatically, they should be:
The Black-Eyed Peas
Just like it should be:
Three Days' Grace
And not three times a Days Grace--which is really just gibberish.
Maybe I should just stick to Abbey Road.

Damn - it must be hard inside your brain.
ReplyDeleteAnd at least they didn't call themselves The Black Guy's Pee. (Sorry - old middle school joke.)
ReplyDeleteBeat-dulls! OH!
My brain is a pile of preggo mush these days. But the copywriter in me never sleeps. It's like a grammar dorm matron.
ReplyDeleteI'll stick to Pearl Jam with a side of Blind Melon, some fresh Cranberries, and some Tonic while dining at the Soundgarden. :)
