AGAIN; My original post!!!; how responsible do u think Prince is for the way most people text/shorten words today? i.e. "2" for the word two/to/too etc. ? do u have any other examples?

Nothing in there or any following comments by other orgers say he invented it...

First of all... Whats with the yelling...

Second of all... Did you not read post number 2... it was right below your original post in case you skipped over it..

Third of all... just because you post a question doesnt mean I have to answer it directly, and ONLY that question... this is a discussion in a forum where we DISCUSS things... Its not that serious...

Be careful, T...

Having an opinion makes you a fam!

"PEOPLE PEOPLE..settle down...get comfortable. please try to be objective, calm and collected when replying...take your xanax, smoke your joint, enjoy your red/white wine, whatever u normally do to be stable...have a tuna sandwich..it don't matter.. then reply!"

vitriol said: I don't think anyone does to be cool or it makes them look stupid. It's just a short cut. It's not like this is some type of English class or journalism. What's the big deal?

the big deal is now the youth of america have no clue how to spell properly. it seems like most people don't even have a grasp on elementary school grammar skills.

Very true! Their biggest impediment to career development is their inability to communicate effectively, and Lord help them if they have to do simple math without the availability of an electronic device.

I find myself using Prince bonics like 2 U 2 and C U ltr

I actually skip posts that are written like that, 'cause I just can't take it.

Me too. It's fucking annoying and I figure the post must be worthless if typed in Fambonics. Of course, my posts don't have a lot of value either...

Oh crap: I feel the need to say, my original name here was iwishuheaven, but the original email address associated was long forgotten, so I had to re-register. But yes, I see there's still a 'u' in the name... but hell, that's the name of the song, dammit!

All I can tell you is that in the 80's if used shorthand like 2 for two or 4 for for... it was a parody of reference to Prince just like squawking shrieking and moving your hands around all magically was. I first noticed the shorthand had spread to rap album design in the 90's. But before that it was definitely a Prince cliche in my perception.

Exactly ...
