Kind of reminiscent of Baba Brinkman's explanation for why one of his songs is called "I'm a African" instead of the grammatically correct "I'm an African". <br />But yeah, the random useless overuse is annoying.

Most times it serves absolutely no purpose! Unless like my little brother, your name is D'Anthony...because then it would be pronounced DAN-Thony, just wrong!<br /><br />xoEeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248583233709089054noreply@blogger.com
