I don't understand why artists feel the need to use "txt tlk" in song titles. :/
I'll be a fan of the song, but then find out the title and truthfully not want to listen to it as much, no matter how much I like it. ._.;
For example - Pink's 'new' song, "U+UR Hand"
Or Gwen Stefani's song "U Started It"
I'm tempted to change the titles to the proper spelling on iTunes.
The problem is, I have both a pet peeve for having the correct name and a pet peeve for proper spelling, capitalization, etc.
It seems that it happens more with "mainstream" artists, or the people on the "hit list" rather than bands such as My Chemical Romance (whom are quite literate and take spelling into consideration) and The Used.
I don't really mind when bands use slang, such as Hinder's song "Shoulda." That's understandable, it's being written as it's said.
Other than that, it's sheer laziness. x_x;
I'm just baffled. ;;
[Edit] : Oh my. I thought this was going in the "txt tlk" section.
My apologies. D;

Ezra Pound Cintax Error It's quite simple. If they don't have the time or energy to type it out in a title, then it's not worth it. Doesn't apply to me, I don't like any pop. surprised So I don't have to deal with it. REAL music uses REAL words. talk2hand /End story please do not make me cite numerous counterexamples. Actually, I'd like to see an example. Please show me? =o

"I Got It Bad (And It Ain't Good)" - horrible grammar, and the general consensus here is that "ain't" ain't a word.
That song is by the great Duke Ellington.
"Biaxident".
A song by Liquid Tension Experiment.
"Ummagumma". Album by Pink Floyd.
"Mysterons" by Portishead.

Seems we simply have different tastes in music. I'd love to say a bit more, but it may be taken as an insult. I don't want to cause any issues. =P

True, but I'm quite picky with music. It's simply that none of those appeal to me. Listening to a song where one word or more is incorrectly spelled in the title will bother me. I'm highly opposed to anyone who uses an abbreviation, while I simply dislike a random word. It's a mere difference in degree.
