WHEN GRAMMAR FAILS
Perhaps the most easily recognizable grammatical error is the use of the word AIN'T. But consider the following three songs if their titles were grammatically correct.
AIN'T SHE SWEET ?
AIN'T WE GOT FUN ?
IT AIN'T ME BABE
Grammatically Correct:
IS SHE NOT SWEET ?
DO WE NOT HAVE FUN ?
IT IS NOT I, BABE
