Is it just me, or does the word "fam" get under your skin?

That is truly the most annoying abreviated word in history!

I think the reason the word "fam" doesn't sit well with people like you and me is that it gives us an association to words like "moonie" or "Jehova" - you know, "fam" sounds anti-free thinking; like something you'd call a member of a cult. biggrin

I've been waiting for years for him to drop the silly spelling. It was unique and cool back in the eighties. If he were to start spelling correctly now, I would take it as a sign of maturity. I guess he hasn't grown up yet. shrug

He hasn't renewed himself for years. And to think, he once did so every year. I think getting rid of the funny spelling and the NPG moniker would be a good place to start a renewing process. biggrin

I agree totally. Just like the name change to the symbol and forcing journalists to drop their pens and recorders. It's all very very manipulative and self absorbed Svengali-like behaviour. He should cut that shit out and start fresh!

You are so boring by just stating this.
You must be from the USA to be stating this.
Don't you know that dying is common to living organisms?

If he wants to reinvent the alphabet for his song titles, lyrics or his own name, I say go for it. That's an artist's perogative. But when fans use Princespeak in worshipful imitation or call themselves fams, that bugs. I like Prince's music but I don't like it when he tries to tell people how to speak, act or think, and I like it even less when people let him.

I think the humour was lost somewhere in the Dutch to English translation.

10/10 for effort though! biggrin
