So... why do people type "eye" and "U" instead of... around here?

Do you all really want to be like Prince and think it's some sort of spiritual duty to mimic him? Or are you insane? Or do you not know the difference? I'm really curious. It's just jarring to be reading a thread and then someone starts typing stuff like "Eye no that U want to" or something.

I think people are only having fun, and it's only natural to copy your idol. people do that in anything they do, copy those they look up 2

I can just about deal with it as long as the don't get silly with it - example: "eye 1der if U can CONtract Bird Flu 4rm KFC?"

The ones who are more annoying are the ones that do it and think they have to talk in riddles and rhyme like Prince does too - example: "KFC..... t'is in the book of revelations y'all, look it up when U have a spare millenia to 1der on this trip of God's love..... eye herd (herd/heard) in the scagazines some unmarried mother saying her damned b to the ass to the tard child CONtracted the Bird's Plague from his Chicken Wings?! The COLONel sho' is showing his southern cracka roots y'all PEAS & B WILD!"

eye have no eye dea Y peeps do that thing.....

Sho'nuff.....They wanna be Prince.....

So yes I C Ur Point.....

lol

Perhaps people just want to be "in" with the crowd. Theres nothing wrong with it!!

I am sure at some point in your life you will have attempted at least one small prince related thing. Remember even when you are quoting Prince, your being with the Crowd. Its just about belonging and talking in your own 'speak'



During the 80's when the TV show Miami Vice was seriously popular, White casual suits with roll up jacket sleeves was deemed suitable to wear .....

People wanted perms to look like MJ (Some extremists were reported to light their perms shortly after too whilst drinking Pepsi lol )


Thats my opinion anyway and only a large amount of cash will change it !!

its still a valid question, i hate it!
especially when someone makes a point about prince along the lines of not liking something. and someone comes along and says

Well U R not a true fam like eye am then! and some mumbo jumbo, we all know the people who do it, its not like copying fashion, because noone else in wider society goes round doing it, only in fucking text messages! keep it there!

I never type that way unless I'm typing a song title. There's only one Prince and dammitt, there's only one Andy also.....100% original.
Andy is a four letter word.

I use abbreviations b/c it's easier 4 me than typing: f.u.c.k. y.o.u ("fu" gets to the point quicker). cool

Anything else is just silly. biggrin

Actually for me I liked the "When 2 R In Love" type of abbreviation.

It's obvious and simple and too the point.

BUT I don't like "eye Hate U" type of abbreviation.

Firstly it's grammatically incorrect and secondly it bloody meaningless.

I've raised this point before. Prince never really did this pre-Lovesexy.

There is a difference between calling a song "Anotherloverholenyohead" to "Gett Off"
Shut up already, damn.

They are really bad about doing this shit over at the NPGMC, thats why I can't stay over there for too long. I was just thinking about this the other day. Why the hell are they always trying to sound like P? He's probably reading that shit and laughing at it also.

Well, for one thing, it's fucking hard to read something that uses random symbols and shorthand which someone is not used to seeing. If it was what we were used to, I'd be fine with it. But it's like when people type R U instead of "are you" and fuk instead of "fuck."

I just don't get it.
