BTW what is wrong with Taylor’s and Katy’s lyrics? :oprah:

I'm guessing for Taylor she goes from "Somebody" to "they", which many teachers dislike the use of "they" when referring to a singular person, and double "you,you".

Katy Run-on sentence?

Well in You and I, the song is also grammatically ill formed because it should be, "there is something about, baby you and me"

You would never say, "there is something about I" or "something about he" 

Queen of grammar mistakes :tony:

Prescriptively (what you learn as a non-native speaker) - yes
Descriptively - not necessarily, as the subjunctive in English is pretty much dead except in certain expressions.

Oh, cool! Am not a native speaker, so it used to bother me when the song came out. :selena:

Also, are you a literature student? Just curious?

Linguistics, not literature.
