Re: Since when is \"My Country tis of thee\" the BRITISH ANTHEM???
 

Is it just me, or are the lyrics to "My country 'tis of thee" gramatically incorrect? It shoud be

My country 'tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty,
I sing. . . .

or

My country,
sweet land of liberty,
'tis of thee I sing. . . .

Why does it say "of thee" twice?

'Hit Me Baby One More Time' borrows heavily from the Belarussian national anthem.
