Talk:Make Me (Britney Spears song)

Source 📝

329: 311: 606:. The main reason is they are too easily mistaken by readers and editors alike as syntactic punctuation of the surrounding material, and drive-by editors not paying attention are even apt to "fix" them as typos. A further consideration is that not even all music journalism sources treat this title as "Make Me..." (or "Make Me ...") but often renders it as "Make Me", and anyone familiar with the song from radio airplay, but neither owning the album nor reading 941:. I disagree. There is an inconsistent usage, but I don't believe that it's enough to warrant a move to simply "Make Me". There is a inconsistent usage of "...Baby One More Time" and "Baby One More Time" as well. Both songs contain the ellipsis due to the fact that they were shortened from their original names (eg "Make Me Ooh" and "Hit Me Baby One More Time"). I don't think the references are even entirely correct in their usage because for example, 243: 222: 663: 191: 721: 590:("Me" in this construction is a complete word, not a truncation of a longer word like "Merry", so the ellipsis should not be fused to the word, wither the cover art spaces it or not). We've already, many times, had the discussion of whether tiny dots are enough to satisfy 153: 492:. The ellipsis isn't enough to meet SMALLDETAILS, imo. The current set-up also benefits readers using the drop-down menu in the search bar, as they know exactly what article they're arriving at. 567: 949:. I don't see a reason to move the article when the song is officially titled "Make Me..." and used that way in numerous sources, despite the fact that some may not use it for simplicity. — 974: 147: 44: 1042: 293: 283: 814: 1047: 875:
Sounds right that we should go with what sources generally use, especially considering it doesn't even seem to be used in the title on the album art image.--
849:, the ellipsis is used 21/107 times, and some of those links are Spears-related (YouTube, iTunes, Tidal). I don't think the current name is the common one. 383:
There are many webpages posted on July 14th talking about the release of the song. But all of the links to the song itself credit the release as July 15th.
