While listening to this tonight in the car, I suddenly stopped hearing the "you change" parts as a repeating chorus and started hearing them as a long catalog of every single instance of compromising your(her)self. The song was already powerful to me, but wow, how overwhelming is that...

you change and you change and you change, you change, you change

Saw her with Robert Plant , who told the rapt audience that Patty was the best female vocalist in America. What he said.

Who?

While nothing on the internet really matters generally, proper spelling will keep others from automatically assuming that you are an idiot. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it's clear when someone at least makes an effort and who doesn't. The only exception would be people who do not speak/write English as a native language.

Besides, it's a good habit to get into. Nothing irritates me more than getting emails from co-workers and friends that contain all kind of spelling errors. In the days where any good browser has a spell check option built in, there's no excuse for not putting in the effort to make your point as clear and concise as you can. After all, if it's important enough to post, that means you want people to read it. If it has a bunch of misspelled words, people will stop before the end.

Have a little self respect and make at least half an effort.


Hey Byronape,

You are summing up really well many feelings I have about correct spelling .
I might quote your lines. I hope you don't mind.
Congratulations, again. {#Clap}

Language is flexible. The norm today won't be recognized in 100 years. Relax. If t'were so, then it will be but a memery. Life is a crewl reminder of the sadness of loss.

Ay yai yai...where to begin. I'll just say that language fascism, and especially spelling fasism , is a cruel, evil, and oppressive institution, entirely based on power and money, that literally condems millions, nay billions of people around the world to abject poverty.

Some leftist you are!

No, I am not joking, being provocative, or being a troll.

I believe this with all my hart and sole!!

Always liked hearing this song and didn't note until now that it was Patty Griffin ——— who I thought I didn't like.

Patty and this song are just so good. So good, well great.


Bows on gifts aren't always strings, but they make for some interesting songs when they are. One of my favorites is PJ Harvey's "Dress".

I was attempting, in perhaps an unsuccessfully humorous way, to point out Horstman's overreaction to Wonderlove's post. Unlike you, I don't assume that an individual is an idiot, or more importantly lacks self-respect (!), because they've misspelled a few words on a music forum. As this issue seems to irritate you so much, if venting that frustration online is a form of therapy, that's a good thing.
