The Independent mentions Prince's unusual spelling habits

Noody Holder (Slade) takes credit for Princebonics!



From The Independent 20 september 2000.



You ask the questions.



Q. "Coz I Luv U", "Look Wot U Dun", "Cum On Feel the Noize". Are you over the dyslexia now?

A. Probably not. It was a good gimmick, but I'd actually written all the lyrics in that spelling anyway. It's our Black Country dialect, it's the way people write on toilet walls, it's writing how we speak. And it really caught on - even Prince did it in the 80's.
