ok I don't know if I spelled it right or if it's the right word 2 use but I just wanted 2 know who here writes somewhat like Prince U know like writing U instead of YOU and instead of I. U get what I'm trying 2 say if not that's ok but that's how I write down notes and chat so if anybody else does REVEAL URSELF

I do

do about half the time.....sometimes will forget 2 use it. But, using the U instead of you is becoming a definite habit! Even when m emailing my friends find myself doing it.....

guilty! but U can't give all the credit 2 Prince. I have been using certain letters, numbers since the 7th grade. long B4 i knew about Prince. that's my story and i am sticky 2 it.

I don't use Princebonics at all. I might use LOL or BBL or something like that, but not :eye: for I (it takes LONGER to type d'uh) things like that. I HATE "gr8" and that kind of crap.

You asked!!

now who else does come on don't b shy I used 2 do the in the chat but not no more

have been doing it since was 12 years old think. I started doing it in 6th grade and even started sigining my name as in class. The teacher and all the classmates knew who was .

i use it but not cuz of prince...been doin it 4 a while...and i never got using eye 4 i...the whole
point of me usin single letters n numbers is 2 make me not have 2 write so much.

as for me, i used to write in 1st-wave princebonics (2, u, 4) but i got bored with doing so, so i stopped.

Hell no! People that do are extremely silly.

I'm a HUGE fan from back in da day, but to be honest, I find this kind of writing to be so, so stupid. Way too high school...

It's cool if that's the way Prince wants to express himself, but for the fans to do it seems to border on drinking the Kool-Aid.

In any case, a humorist wrote a great essay on this. He credited Prince with starting the Internet because of all the acronyms and abbreviations used when doing the 'net chat thang...

You can probably find it if you google "Prince" "Internet" and "Chat".

Peace!

I do sometimes

I dont write like that cuz well I type slow enough without having to worry about using the right code but I have been know to draw s everywhere

I used to but then I realized...just like Prince is an individual, so am I.
