This is always a "me against the world" debate every Christmas season since everybody looks at the obvious -- "her" refers to the earth as the subject which is considered female (mother earth). But if one looks at the all the lyrics and the sentences or phrases, you will see a different type of english, e.g., "...the Lord IS come", "let every heart prepare HIM room". I am no language expert so I need somebody to back me up and say "let earth receive HIM king". On the other hand I tried to look at all the music books, etc., even pay special attention to projection screens in churches when the carol is sung, and always see "her". Any english or language teacher out there?

Laurel looks at his watch and says "I have 1:45."

Hardy looks at his and says "I have quarter to two too."

OK - how many other situations can result in a sentence with three homophones in a row?

I'm new to this and after reading some of the questions thought...ok...maybe some people can't spell...that's not a sin.
I'm not good at spelling either. BUT when I posted an answer...WOW ...couldn't believe it...there IS spellcheck. My saviour. WOOHOO.
Now I don't have to look uneducated...spellcheck does it all for me.

Much of what I read on this site is incomprehensible. No capital letters at the beginning of a sentence, no punctuation, no commas. I am sure someone will suggest that this saves the writer some time, but does it not then waste the time of the reader, who will spend unnecessary time trying to decipher the resulting gibberish?

For example, in Madonna's song 'Hung up', what does this adjective mean?
'Every little thing that you say or do, I'm caught up, I'm hanging up on you'
And be hung up about something? Just read an example in a book today, but can't remember it now.
