The meaning can be interpreted in many ways. 
1. (If you) don't believe me, just watch. (Neal)
2. (You don't believe me?), Just watch. (Neal)
3. Don't believe me; just watch. ]]> 2018-10-15 03:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/olyvialemieux/rrk0om5zp85j/wish/292648701 Why is this misleading? olyvialemieux https://padlet.com/olyvialemieux/rrk0om5zp85j/wish/292649131 The phrase "Don't Believe Me Just Watch", can be misleading because throughout the song Bruno Mars does not specify who is actually watching or what exactly being watched. What is to be believed? What is he trying to prove? Leaving all these unanswered questions]]> 2018-10-15 03:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/olyvialemieux/rrk0om5zp85j/wish/292649131 How Could the problem be avoided? olyvialemieux https://padlet.com/olyvialemieux/rrk0om5zp85j/wish/292649680 The answer is simple, Bruno Mars could specify who and what he is actually talking about, rather than just leaving open questions in the air. Using who its about, or asking a question or even using a semi colon or comma can change the whole meaning, to just one. ]]> 2018-10-15 03:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/olyvialemieux/rrk0om5zp85j/wish/292649680 Examples olyvialemieux https://padlet.com/olyvialemieux/rrk0om5zp85j/wish/292650161 Using Commas can make a difference.
