"Me knew"? How could Kate, intelligent, introspective, cer- tainly grammatically correct Kate make such a horrid faux pas? Does anybody else have any stink with this? The only excuse that I could possibly find to explain the blatant deviation of the Queen's English is that Kate wanted to sing the song from -- you guessed it -- a child's point of view. But I myself wouldn't buy that cop-out for a nickel. -Uzer apple!spies!uuwest!user user@uuwest.UUCP
