MyNameIsCally said: Sander said: Perhaps I was a bit harsh in my rant, but hear me out. You don't have to write everything 100% perfect. But these jokers are lazy about it and don't take advice. They're still somewhat understandable, but barely. You don't win anything by shrugging it of and focusing on the content. You take the extra effort, so you lose. When people talk absolute nonsense or write/speak for shit, tell them so. Like King, this OP's first language is English. Mine, on the other hand, is not. Tell me you didn't have to read the following thread title twice to understand what he/she meant: http://prince.org/msg/7/304013 No offense but how do you know they're lazy? For all you know they could have missed out on school and never learned to spell properly at all, or have dyslexia. By the way, it's "fucked" not "fuck#d" if you're going to swear you may as well spell it right, the hash symbol isn't fooling anyone! lol If I wrote a Prince song, it would have to be Baby I'm a Star, Dolphin or I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man, love them all too much to decide on one!  I'll change my ways. I'll focus on the positive now. May I applaud your use of spelling and interpunction. It fills my heart with joy.
As for lazy, I believe with a little education and effort everyone can spell decently. The spellcheckers can do the rest. Shitpisscuntfuck! | |

Well stated! I personally would have gone with "Holy Shitpisscuntfuck!," but to each his own. "What kind of fuck ending is that?" | |

Around The World In A Day
It's by far not the best Prince song but it's the song that sort of seems like it could have been written by me. I love hearing it. | |

You may know, Prince didn't do the music for this track. I think he played guitar on it... but most of the music was already done by David Coleman. | |

Technically people aren't writing "of" instead of "have"...they are writing it in place of "'ve" (could've/could of--which is why I joked "Sign've the Times")... Even in the original post, "If u could of made..." and "do u think it would of got..." replace "could've made" and "would've got"... See that tafnap's final sentence is written "mine would have 2 b..."--most people wouldn't erroneously replace the "have" in this instance with "of" because the contraction "would've" doesn't fit in this sentence. (I'll save that grammar lesson for another day.) BUT if I do recall my grammar-rules correctly, "could've" would follow "you" (but "could of" can follow "u"); and similarly "would've gotten" would be correct (but "would of got" might be acceptable)... "3123...that's next door to where the party be..." | |

And of course I forgot to reference the famous line that addresses what should follow the "would have" in the final sentence of the original post...(it's "to be, not 2 b")... "3123...that's next door to where the party be..." | |

Most of his recent stuff has the wow factor but because he's dissed the industry his music is now snubbed that's why he doesn't get much air time. i wouldnt have used a record label..they steal all your money and try to take the credit of what you create... Peace, Love, and some Purple Rain!! | |

Yes because the BBC is the end all and be all of proper grammar subtitles. | |

Returning to the topic at hand, Something In The Water (Does Not Compute). I in no way have the vocal range to pull it off, even if I'd written it four steps lower. But when I hear this beautiful and imposing song, I hear what I aspire to be as a writer and performer. | |

For me, it'd have to be something funky like "DMSR" or "Computer Blue". | |

as far as songwriting goes "I Wanna Be Your Lover" is pretty close to perfect  | |
