I personally don't care for the "I find Myself so Dominant, I can barely stand Myself" type of writing, but hey. Life goes on.

I believe that grammatically, though I'm far from an English teacher, the word Dom/mes falls under the same rule structuring that one would use for s/he.

As for the rest of the drivellous argument, A/all is not grammatically correct because it refers to station in life as opposed to gender and seperating people by Dominant or submissive is not something covered in the rules of grammar.

And there are a great many native English speakers who wouldn't know what to do with a dangling participle if it came up to them and goosed them.)  The rule would be no different here soley because this is a BDSM board.  If I were to read something I found so improperly worded as to be incomprehensible, I'm more than likely to skim it and move on.  There's more in my life I need to worry over...or should I say over which I need to worry?

The problem with this, of course, is a 10" dangling cyber participle only equates to a 3" dangling participle in real life.

Celeste,

This is a grammar thread, try to stay on topic.  Conversions rates should be conversion rate.  No S after conversion.

If only you were actually only a bit a truble.

If this is the most annoying practice you've seen, you're either in for a shocker or you've had very limited exposure. . .

This wasn't a horse, just a poor pony.  It's dead now, why not find something with a little more substance to discuss.

Feastie,

Kicking a dead pony is even cuter than a dead horse!  Besides, we're so good at it on here.  Hey, why is no one replying to my messages?  My profile clearly says I want a bitch to cook and clean for me, and I'll beat her with my 10" cock every day!

Yours,

I can't help but notice you capitaized Fairfield, Ohio, and Anne Rice in your profile.  Are you saying these things are like God?

So we have different rules here online.  Do I use them?  Sometimes in PMs, not in the forums.  Do I think they're right?  If someone wants to use them, go for it.  Better someone who makes "mistakes" on purpose than someone who dusnt no how tu spel or use bad gramer and mayks long sentancez and dusnt no wat hes taking abot. 

As to capitalizing Master, Master, Mistress, Dom, Himself etc...  is often in lieu of a name.  Why should someone not be allowed to expect his nic(please don't kill me for calling Master a nic) to be capitalized??????

As to T/this, it makes it hard to read, just as when this slave writes about this slave's Mistress, whom this slave does not believe exists.  I have to say, it reduces legibility.  But you know what?  WE TIE EACH OTHER UP, BEAT EACH OTHER WITH CANES, AND NAIL BALLS TO A BOARD!!!!!  If annoying typing is the worst result thereof we have it good.

Yours,


benji
