Time for my Australian Idol bad grammar pet peeve: SANG vs. SUNG.
It is not "I sung Somewhere Over the Rainbow before," or "my English teacher sung that to me in high school." It is sang. You can say I have sung or I had sung, but NEVER "I sung."
By the same token, you can't say "I have sang."
EVERY SINGLE CONTESTANT and EVERY JUDGE with the possible exception of Marcia Hines gets this wrong, and I yell the correct grammar at the TV every time. It's just one of those irritatingly common mistakes.

Write down 5 things you want to know about people on your friends list. Have them post the answers in your comments and post this is their journal with 5 things they want to know about people on their friends list.
1. What's one song you couldn't live without that you don't think I have?
2. What movie are you most looking forward to?
3. If you're not from Australia, what preconceived notions do you have of this country?
4. If you are from Australia, do you have preconceived notions of other countries? Which ones?
5. What one grammar or spelling mistake do you hate the most?
OMG JOSS TOMORROW NIGHT *dies* I'm gonna take a notebook and try to take notes like at PJ's thing.
Link of the Day:chaodai made a rant post about American politics that I really, really enjoyed and agreed with.
If I just say "No urges!" do you know what I'm talking about?
