Seems like the OP isn't only the sensitive newbie in the org world.

He'll be OK too, his skin needs to thicken a bit, he'll be fine.

Prince has a career spanding 3 decades and keeps on going ..do you think comments like his head makes him give a flying f**k, he knows hes sent from God and beautiful, hes stronger than alot of people think and im sure his dollar bills will dry his tears

Yeah exactly. Plus, I'm pretty sure he's one of the most confident people in the world in regards to his looks and his musical ability.

Damn right, he did make the songs "creme" and "pretty man".

Dont get me wrong you guys Im sure he has his moments of insecurities like most of us (that makes for amazing songs) but dude is confident, hes cute sized (still all man! lol) which MAY make his head look slightly bigger (I dont think at all it does) but in proportion nevertheless.. wow why didnt i just ignore this topic its so lame

Yeah your right I kinda was being a tool. I'm sure I'm much more sensitive than Prince is . I just don't like when people insult the man Prince, I'm on the same level of famship of Prince as the fams of Michael Jackson. I'm not a nutjob lol, I'm pretty balanced .

Well, thanks for taking the time to admit that you went overboard...

These stadements contradict each other.

Now we know it, people:

for some reason (which I'm afraid I missed) Amerigo is the new master of the universe and now we know -as the slaves we are- what or how we SHOULDN'T post so as not to annoy him/her.

Don't say we weren't warned!

He does not have a big head (literally) - he just has a very small everything else, so it looks a little out of proportion. I think it's most obvious on the Lovesexy cover.

Personally, I never noticed it before it was pointed out to me years ago and have paid it no mind since. Until now.

No. They're fair game. the amount of times the answer is in this sites FAQ's is staggering. Perhaps they should look there first. The problem is new people are generally lazy and can't be arsed to do their own research.

@DecaturStone: Hence why the FAQ was created in the first place.

@ Marrk: Case in point: http://prince.org/msg/7/339220

and finally...

What's up with big heads anyway? As long as the head isn't fucking gigantic or dephormed (macrocephaly), big heads are completely normal for me, just as some women have big tits, some dudes have big cocks, some girls have extremely long legs and so on...

Prince HAS a long head, HUGE hair and a thin body, and that's perfectly fine by me...

[Edited 7/4/10 17:04pm]

^I'd love to know more about those girls having extremely long girls...

Do you mean when they're pregnant and finally deliver very long-bodied baby girls?

Not really, Michael Jackson fans are well known for being very sensitive and angry at rude/insultive comments of Michael Jackson (ugly, pedo, weird, bleached his skin etc.). I'm the same way. And I never said to be workshipped, I don't have a superiority complex to other members. In fact, there's a ton of members who are more active and easy going than me. I just believe that a big head is a very insultive term, a friend of mine once said I had a big head and I got pretty angry at him. Something about it just makes the insult seem like you think somebody is out of proportion to a huge extent. And please stop referring to me as "newbie", just because you haven't noticed my 130+ posts since August 2009 much, dosen't mean I'm a "newbie."

I'm amused

• When you say you COULD care less, you're leaving room for more caring. It's COULDN'T care less.

Actually it's either. One's sarcastic, one's English.

I was telling my friend (not a fan) about this thread earlier, and he replied: "Oh please, the man is a lollipop."

Prince to the young lady he's invited to his room after the show, "Does this condom make my head look big?"

chocolate1 said:

My question: Why are we supposed to care about your pet peeve list?

MY pet peeve: FAMS who act like Prince is a god and no one can say anything about him unless it's total worship.

(Oh, and, Prince hasn't always worn simple suits... are you blocking out all the frilly blouses and feminine-cut pants? His suits have EVOLVED into more masculine styles. And most men don't wear high heels.)

I hope you didn't lose sleep compiling this list.

grammar edit

[Edited 7/5/10 3:40am]

Your links don't affect common usage. They are both colloquial and thus subject to whatever meaning is generally attributed to them. If you take the intended meaning from the phrase when you see it, rather than reading your thoughts on grammar into it, it works.

Also, who decided that the two phrases were even related? It's been in debate for years. Perhaps, we should just come to understand that they are not meant to mean the exact same thing as they originated in two different countries at least twenty years apart.

"I couldn't care less" - Means what it says. Possibly originates in England in the 1940s.

"I could care less" - Means what it says, i.e. you care somewhat, but its possible for you to care even less. Conveys an aloof attitude. Apparently originates in America in the 1960s. May go back to Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, which would predate the former phrase.

So, I guess my point is that they are not meant to be the same phrase or carry the same meaning, therefore: different words for each.
