The Linguistic Society of America has initiated a new campaign directed at Umphrey’s McGee. The group, which came together when its members were undergraduates at Notre Dame, has been targeted for the title of the new album, it’s not us. The Society issued a statement chastising the band for failing to capitalize the word it’s and by misidentifying a pronoun’s proper subjective case.

In response to the society’s UM NO campaign which demands a recall of the record, which would then be re-released as It’s Not We, bassist Ryan Stasik counters, “This is outdated, prescriptive nonsense. The oblique case has been used for predicative arguments for centuries, and in current English, the subject case is much more likely to be ungrammatical than the oblique case. Plus my contention is that the Society’s charge is factually incorrect because us should not be considered a predicate nominative, since it’s not a nominative.”

Then he made some devil horns and belched the Toys R Us theme song.
