Verycurious07,
You wrote this above and I snipped some...
While I agree with the spirit of your post, I don't agree with the idea that one should have perfect spelling and grammar. I believe it is important to have coherent and comprehensible usage of the language, but this is, after all, a message forum, not an institution of higher learning. What I was referring to was not the mis-spelling of a word like abhorrent, but when people type in l33t or completely chaotic gibberish. By the way, if you don't know what l33t is, consider your IQ to be raised 20 points for the blissful ignorance. (It would have been nice of you to tell us right away what it means, so we would have known what you were talking about.)
Look, there's a huge difference between firing off a message board post (we are also talking about emails where many of us use to connect to real people, real time, and the boards are where this person we are interested may be posting, so this is the way we learn what that person thinks, does etc.) ...which is moronic drivel and one with a mis-spell here, an imporoper comma or semicolon there, a few too many adverbs or other common mistakes. My point is that this is a forum for entertainment (Maybe mainly entertainment for you so far since you are new, and don't know if you are submissive or?), for many of us it is the only place we come to to learn about the people we want to eventually meet, or have already met.and community,:
The word community is derived from the Latin communitas (meaning the same), which is in turn derived from communis, which means "common, public, shared by all or many"[1]. Communis comes from a combination of the Latin prefix con- (which means "together") and the word munis (which has to do with performing services, (heehee, I like that!)
).not a NASA or MENSA proving ground with a shit load (Oh, you said shit load. and you are very new to this site? Completely new to the bdsm lifestyle also. Here to learn?...) of pedantic grammar police ready to pounce on your casual post with the fervor of your twelfth grade teacher. ;)
Many of us here are looking for real people, not just online cyber dancing, but people we can relate to, get to know, have serve us in our homes, real life, maybe even marry someone from cm, as several have. So, use of the language is a beautiful and respected thing for many of us. I am certainly not perfect, and do not have spell check on this site, so I pop long posts into a word doc, and spell check, then copy and paste before sending them. I take a word I am not exactly sure of and pop it into a new IE window to get more clarity on the definition, or look up something in particular mentioned here; on the web, so I can expand my own knowledge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have mentioned this before and will again: There are about 89,000 scammers in Nigeria alone. Most of them cannot use idioms, spell worth a shit, use punctuation, or throw a sentence together without making a mess of it. They are a huge waste of time for Dommes, and everyone else. They learn enough from their boiler room buddies to use 'bdsm slut-speak: 'uz mee cumu'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main point I want to express on this thread is: Here on these boards and in our cm emails are real people we want to get to know. Many of us here respect intelligence and attention to detail. I believe in the beauty and tradition of courting. Since this courtship and these connections start online in the form of the written word it is important to communicate well, be somewhat articulate, etc. I want to know that someone can express what they think, feel and desire, otherwise I don't want to waste my time, or theirs.
Life is too short, too fleeting to waste.
Irish
