Bend over, ladies.

It goes beyond bad poetry. People I don't know email me terribly written BDSM D/s stories. <shudder>
i think that the poor grammar and writing skills permeate everywhere, not just through poetry and stories. Hell, there's been some profiles that i've read that i could only read a couple of paragraphs because my brain started to hurt - insert blonde joke here - and i couldn't continue and maintain my happy mood. Idiocy tends to irritate me. It's always the little things too, like i seem to remember that there is to, too, and two (using the number 2 as a substitute for these words doesn't help any, either). The last of the three obviously doesn't get confused as much as the first two do but for some reason, not knowing the difference between to and too drives me mad. As does the misuse of the words: their, there, they're; your, you're etc. Using single letters for whole words is right up there too. As well as a complete lack of punctuation.
i went to public school and they taught me all sorts of neato stuff, you don't need some fancy schmancy private school education just to learn how to properly form a sentence and paragraph.
In regards to the stories, i've been sent some awful stories as well. Or, i would be sent a 3 page long paragraph and that throws me too.
My favorite is when i'm "ordered" by a Dom to write down a fantasy and turn it into him in two hours...it takes me over two weeks to write a story (at a minimum) because the ones that i write are actual short stories and end up being ten to twenty pages long. Especially if it's something i've been thinking on for quite some time and i have a lot of ideas and i just roll with it. Other times it's less than ten pages but, still lengthy. They get all mad at me when i ask for guidance on what they want me to write and then tell me to figure it out. Some even refuse to speak to me until *after* i've sent it to them and then chide me on doing it wrong. i like to think they (the stories) have been pretty good even if i get in "trouble" for not doing it they way they wanted it, i've got a very vivid and active imagination and i'm pretty good at expressing my thoughts coherently. So, that way even if they don't like it, i do and then i save it and share it with others.
