Does it piss you off when you see his name spelt Paul van DYKE?
i see this everywhere - ministry of sound website, chemical records.. you'd think these places who are supposedly well versed in EDM would learn how to spell some1s name properly!
grrr it just pisses me off
end of rant.

haha yes i am one of those ppl who get irritated by that,maybe not irritated as such but its silly,cos for example on chemicalrecords.co.uk if u type van dyk in the search engine you're gonna get all the pvd tunes that he plays and his own stuff/label etc(which is a lot)whereas on the trance section if you go to "in the style of" and go to van dykE then hardly any results come up you would think someone who works there would realise!
even on ebay when im searching for pvd ill do a 2nd search for the dyke's lol or even just do paul van

Finally som1 who know how important is a DJ's name. What a shame that people cannot learn such a single, little thing that VAN DYK ISN'T SPELLED BY E!!!!!! In addition, to write his name correctly, van shouldn't be written with a capital letter (like Armin van Buuren, Ron vanden Beuken)

I always show respect to DJs/Groups I like. I don't write Sasha as Sash!, I always write The Prodigy, I don't write a dot after System F . I even change language in my computer to write correctly Tiësto with ë
