The Spelling Conspiracy

KD was a bit confused when she started out on the spelling our beloved boys name.

True, bro! I was like "Uh, *N Sync? 'N Sync? 'NSYNC? *NSYNC? Justin and the Thrusters?" I'm easily confused. And there doesn't seem to be any kind of consensus, which is odd. You'd think that at least the band their bad selves would have it figured out.

Around here, we use NSYNC. It's easy, it's simple, there's no muss or fuss. No stupid asterisks. So, I sat down, and analyzed the spelling of NSYNC over time. It's about time for me clear up the spelling debate.

  • On the first CD, it was spelled like this: 'N SYNC
     It's a bit scary that I know that.

    Yes, it is.

    I guess Lou was into apostrophes at that point. He needed a group with random punctuation or something.

    That's funny. Lou the punctuation addict. "Come on, man! Hook me up! I know you've got a few ounces of ellipses! Dude! I'm hurting here!"

  • I have seen it spelled this way in magazines: *N Sync or even *NSYNC.
     I don't understand the asterisk. Like, does it make them feel "sparkly"?

    Flamers. They love feeling sparkly.

    Dude, remember what happened in Armageddonsync? B*Witched must have beaten them and made them do it.

    That's so cool. These five mean mofos gettin' their azzes kicked by four tiny Irish lasses. I love it.

  • It's like this on the new CD: *N SYNC
     I still don't get the asterisk. And is this Justin moving into lead singer status, by getting his "n" seperated from everyone else? Egotistical bastard.

    That entire OBVIOUSLY FALSE claim that NSYNC comes from their names just pisses me off. Please. We know you're manufactured, don't be pretentious as well as annoying.

    Personally, I like it my way (NSYNC) just because the asterisk and space are unnecessary. I just don't get the spelling conspiracy.

    It's probably one of those deals where they were sitting around in a policy meeting and after they okayed the thongs they listened to some PR boy's theory that they needed to keep it fresh. And Justin completely fell for it and now they have to re-punctuate every six months.

    Right. And at least we have something to call them. Otherwise, we'd be referring to them as FRI (Five Retarded Idiots) and this is just easier. But still. Guys, pick a single way of spelling it and stick with it, okay? Remember that most of your fans are young, stupid, and easily confused. Change it once more and they might not be able to find your new CD.
