Lip singing? I’ve heard it all now. I read it on one blog and just put it down to a simple typo!

Lip singing? I, who have English as a second language, wouldn’t use “lip singing” hehe :P

I saw the URL and wondered what the holy fuck you were on about. I’ve not heard of lip singing before. :|

I’m obviously not hopping the right blogs.

Well, it technically makes sense if you take “lip singing” to mean mouthing the words, which is exactly what lip synching is…

Them blogging about Britney is annoying anyway. It’s like the world is not only waiting for her to fail, but they want her to, to continue their mindless entertainment.

So huzzah to lip synching and to Britney getting things together eventually. :P

I thought Britney was long gone and never to return… I guess I am out of the loop entirely. She can sing too? I am amazed.

Lip singing? Haha
I was looking at a website a week ago because I was to look up stuff about dependent clauses, etc. and it spelled dependent wrong! (it was spelled as dependant) Tsk tsk…

Haha, things like that annoy me too…

Speaking of things that don't make sound but have said to make sure, another popular phrasing is "the voice spoke". Voices don't speak. Such an error was one amongst many in Dan Brown's "the Da Vinci Code". More analysis here

This might be a lost cause. :( Most Americans say “lip singing.” They’ve made an idiom out of it. Depending on where you are, if you were to say, “lip synching,” your response might be, “Oh – what? Oh, you mean lip singing.”
