Yes, but when you have so many grammar and spelling errors, it makes you look ignornat and comes across poorly. Unless of course English is not your first language.

.

I make heaps of typos and grammar errors, but I at least try to get it right when I have to. You need to start each sentence with a capital (I not i) and try and not to use text spelling. The spell checker here is not very good. Especially as I live in New Zealand and we spell English words slightly differently in the British part of the world.

.

Some of us here, like myself are from VERY educated backgrounds (Masters Degree and 3 other degrees) and generally are not fans of elementary school language. I also assume that many other orgers are similarily educated and find uneducated English hard to read. Willing to lay money on the table, we have several members with doctorates, and yet also several members who dropped out of high school and are barely literate. But with a complex artist like Prince, these people MUST be in the minority of orgers.

Erm, not necessarily. Firstly, there are young orgers who haven't finished elementary or high school yet. Secondly, not sure about the org, but there are definitely adults without degrees that love Prince. I have seen such fans online, mostly African Americans (that is not to say that African Americans are less educated, just that Prince is embraced by many of them, whereas people of other ethnicities might prefer their own kinds).

People sometimes don't capitalise letters at the beginnings of sentences because they are lazy to press Shift or whatever

Fair enough, but you may be surprised to know, a large percentage of Prince's followers are middle aged, and very educated White people like myself.

A survey a while ago here, proved the average fan was 42 years old and likely to have been into Prince since the mid 1980s or early 1990s. But I respect your points and realise that less educated and younger fans also respect Prince and frequent the site, so I take back my complaints.

.

Once again, Full lips you have opened my eyes, sometimes I think and wonder if you are Michael Jackson. I know it sounds daft, but you share Michael's sense of humanity.

Goodness, my true identity has been revealed! I escaped the world of showbiz in 2009, moved to Europe and disguised myself as a teenage girl. Don't ask me for unreleased songs though, I don't have access to my recordings in California, hee.

That's one of the most beautiful compliments I've received

I adore you, Adorecream and Full! I could rant ad nauseum about the erosion of the English language but I'm American and we are guilty bastardizing the Queen's English because WE are too lazy to add a U to 'honor' and 'favorite' therefore I'm disqualified from filing a formal complaint!

It's okay. He's all I've been listening to as well. Even when I try to listen to another artist, it doesn't last but a minute, and if someone is in MY CAR....they WILL B listening to P!!! I don't care....lol.

Listen to P at home in my office, listen to the Underground Garage station in the car.
