Longman Dictionary says: commit a crime not do a crime:

I blieve Longman. Hello 3rd secondary often makes mistakes, but Longman Dictionary is authoritative

I totally agree with you Mr Sw0rdD
May Allah bless you
But What about the title of this song
Don`t do the crime
Is that a slang or a colloquial language ?Really I `m not sure

Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGcdrq8MQdA

You Do The Crime, You Serve The Time

Also ,We can look at the following Blog which has a research entitled :

You Do The Crime, You Serve The Time

http://brainblogger.com/2007/12/27/y...erve-the-time/

But there is a connection between Crime and Time in these titles

We must find about that !! Thank you a gain Mr Sw0rdD ,you are a genius teacher
We should have a look at the following Pdf file from California State Sheriffs`association :)

It could be either. One thing I am sure of : It is not correct English as the dictionary stated clearly. I worked for one full year with an Irish school manager and I found her English full of common mistakes. Besides, Many songs find pleasure in breaking the rules
It is very common in movies and songs to find things like: I didn't do nothing

I went through the pdf file at a glance, and found "do the crime" in quotes
The quote goes like this: 'If you don't do the time, don't do the crime'
as if it is a slang. This doesn't make it right. I am often reminded by MacDonald's slogan: I'm loving it. This could be found in commercials, magazine ads, etc, but that doesn't make it right.
I posted the dictionary entry together with the workbook page number on Longmansec site, but haven't got a response yet. However, I found it interesting discussing this with you.

Made with
Guess we all know about the difference between "made of", "made from", made in" and "made by" but the workbook presented additional made with
This is in Unit 6 page 33, ex 4

This is how "Practical English Usage" stated it

السلام عليكم
It's vey common to use the preposition 'on' with the word 'island'. But many will find the following piece of information interesting

Here is another problematic area
North vs. Northern
This is very confusing. However, it is mentioned in unit 9 3rd secondary. I posted this so that it may arouse further discussion

If anyone has any clearer difference, plz explain
