And this is what happens when a former English major writes a post response at 5:30 a.m. It could have been much worse. LOL Peace favor and blessed be, nikki Property of Cruel Desires [;)]

quote: ORIGINAL: housemouse61 Well, partly because it's not my job to go around correcting everyO/one who is less English savvy than i. P.S. As a side note, you should see the way some submissives butcher the English language [snip]...it's far from being a Dominant exclusive malady. [;)] C-D, I wasn't going to get after her for the lower case "i", it was the butchering of the word "everyone". If a person were to write to a group of people known to be all dominant, would they write "everyOne"? Good lord I hope not. [;)] C-D, can we negotiate the weird slashy stuff? Please? (trying to think of what I have to negotiate with...) I'm shipping out homemade chocolate truffles tomorrow to some people, would you like some? Cali

quote: ORIGINAL: GreedyTop I do see the point of the op.. because I ALWAYS cringe when I see dominate used instead of dominant when someone declares themselves as such. I have actually emailed a few people (those whose profiles were otherwise well written) to point it out.. and have been thanked by most of them.. although there was one guy who pitched a fit for me being so 'unbecomingly forward" as to correct him insert eyeroll here I had someone read my single journal entry (which outlines how to spellcheck your profile) and tell me it was rude to try and help correct others' spelling.

quote: ORIGINAL: ShiftedJewel Ok, I get what the op is saying... when they created the profile they obviously clicked on the little box next to "dominant"... the proper spelling is right there!! So either they weren't paying attention to it or they have a really short attention span... neither quality sounds appealing in a dominant personality. Oh, and I make it a point... I am not a female dominant... I am a dominant female. It's kind of like searching for Harley stuff on ebay... you can also find it under Harly and Harley Davison.... and the stuff is sitting there right in front of you!!! It's not like the proper spelling isn't right fcking there!!! Ok, I feel better now.* *Jewel* That is great though because you can usually get it cheaper! (The stuff on Ebay, not the dominants)

Ummm, actually they are nouns point of fact. Check your dictionary.

He's such a sweetheart.... ducks and runs before he sees that I said that )

According to the Webster Illustrated Comtemporary Dictionary: Encyclopedic Edition it breaks down like this: "dominance" is a noun "The state or condition of being dominant" (i.e., Dominance is a prevailing factor in His household.) "dominant" is an adjective "Ruling; governing; prevailing." or "Having a masking effect on a contrasting or recessive factor in the genetic endowment of an organism." (i.e., He is a dominant Man. or Brown eye genes are dominant over blue eye genes.) However, in the BDSM community "dominant" is often used (perhaps misused according to the dictionary definition) as a noun (i.e. i seek a Dominant). "dominantly" is an adverb (i.e., He stands dominantly in His household.) "dominate" is a verb "To control; govern." or "To have supreme or masterful power or influence over." or "To tower above; loom over..." (i.e. He dominates His submissive/slave.)

So I thought I'd point out your mistake. When you use the word dominant the way you did in the latter "definition", it's a NOUN. Here's an example of dominant being used as an adjective: 'She is dominant.' Hence, it is describing HER which is the operation of an adjective. Just thought I'd let you know this, since you tried to correct people in the first place! I appreciate the correction. I can spell but my grammar can suck. I had originally composed that as 'She/He has a dominant personality' then parsed it to the present form. Fortunately, my beef was with spelling <whew> Thank you !
