Okay. Now I'm curious.

Is it a regional thing? A generational thing? Why all the confusion?

JL pulls the 'I'VE GOT AN EXPERT OPINION' card

[jl-in-the-lane.livejournal.com]

My 3 year-old kinder teacher friend reckons that her students would find 'itsy bitsy spider' rather difficult to say and that 'incy wincy spider' therefore works better as a nursery rhyme for children of tender years.

Adults, however, are free to sing it however they choose. :P

SO THERE.

*feels good that people can still get passionate about nursery rhymes - it restores her faith in the world*

Well, so far we've got:

"Ummmmm duh?"


"WRONNGGGGGG.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU ARE WRONG. THAT SOUNDS SO WRONG. WRONG.
Yeah. Itsy bitsy all the way, bitches."


"I think the confusion is that YOU'RE WRONG and it's itsy bitsy and your silly delusions must be stopped at once."


"Also secure in my RIGHTNESS."


"Hmmph, like a website proves you're right???"


"Is incy wincy even a word?!?!?!"


"WTF?"


"My childhood has just been cast into an ugly yellow light of half-truths, drug cartels and Jerry Springer."


"I won't defend American often, but this is a no-brainer!!!"


"THIS MEANS WAR."


"SO THERE."

I rather love the fact that the closest my LJ has ever come to a flamewar is over the lyrics to Incy Wincy Spider.

Yay! LJ has an expert for all occasions! Seems reasonable to me.

Um what. Incy wincy is SO much harder to say, and itsy bisty is way easier. THAT WAS MY EXPERT OPINION OKAY.

:P

I THINK THAT YOUR ACCUSATIONS CLEARLY REVEAL A LACK OF BEING-THREE-NESS SINCE WHO EVEN KNEW THAT WAS POSSIBLE UNTIL YOU BROUGHT IT UP ALSO YOU DIDN'T PUT AN APOSTROPHE FOR 'THATS' WHICH SHOULD HAVE ONE SO CLEARLY YOU'RE JUST DUMB.


(Haha, this actually made me lol for real, I love being faux angry.)

(I'm just loving the fact that my sister got into a flamewar. She's so fun.)
