If I could of, I would of made "Sign've the Times"...

I would choose 'Here' and I would use a major record label so that this song would be #1 were a song like that deserves to 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.

Baby Im A Star

Holy fuck, the word is "HAVE" people. Could have, would have, should have. Have is the goddamned word. And Stephaniebrown's awesome.

IIWYG is the song, have course

What the fuck is that?

stephaniebrown said:

Genius.

tafnap said:

Goddamn, you illiterate brat! You write for shit and lecture someone for correcting you and explaining to you where you f#cked up?

Shit, everyday morons write like crap on here and we have to put in the effort to try and make sense of your trainwreck thread? How about you try and write something understandable. Use interpunction. Maybe, just maybe we'll be able to understand you then.

[rant over]

This is the first time you heard of the term? Really? Really?

ElCapitan said:

Not everyone's first language is English. You knew what he meant. Stop being a jerk.

Sander said:

If you really didn't understand him, then you're the moron.

coolcat said:

If you don't get my point and make excuses for the downfall of language here and everywhere else, then you're digging your own hole...

This brat is giving attitude after being told he made a mistake. Correct the error, give thanks and pay attention next time should have been the thing to do.

Sander said:

I've got no problem with correcting errors as long as people aren't being jerks about it. And like I said, not everyone's first language is English.

I see this double standard all over the web. English speakers going insane over trivialities, and yet they expect a saint's patience when they're the ones learning a new language.

coolcat 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

TheKing662 said:

Now tell me what percentage of a conversation by King and tafnap will be understood by both parties?

Sander said:

We just have different approaches to this type of thing. It's cool.

I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for clarifying your position.

ElCapitan said:

what are u, an English teacher? The point is we (including u), understood what the "orgers" were trying to say!

PS. I would of made "Adore"

Sander said:

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!

MyNameIsCally said:

Such language!

tafnap said:

LOL this was a very funny comeback. Unfortunately it no longer important what song you could of or could have made since that's not the point of this thread anymore!!!!

The mannerly approach to correcting someone's english either in person or in writing is to use the correct spelling, pronounciation, or use of a word in communicating back to the person using it incorrectly.

The whole reason I get on these threads is to communicate with other people. If I only wanted to read things from people that felt the same way I do and used the english language the same way I do then I'd just journal and read my own stuff.

A little tolerance goes a long way.

What song do I wish I wrote? There are a few of them, but it would be best if I check my spelling first so no one me.

i would write the title track to graffiti bridge and of course 'guitar'.

Did you mean pronunciation?
