So can you tell that I don't like the Doodlebops? This past weekend, while watching a TiVo'd copy with Colin, I found another reason for my dislike: lack of grammar.
(Scene: Backstage, the Doodlebops and Jazzmin discussed how great it was that Rooney Doodle (a.k.a. "the blue one", "the gay one", "not the breakdancing one, the other one") gave his old ukelele to a fan. Let the agrammaticality begin!)
Deedee: You can always borrow one.
Rooney: From who?
Jazzmin: Myself!
This is supposed to be EDUCATIONAL? That was two errors in two seconds! UGH!
