Tantriqu -> RE: How do you pronounce Domme? (1/28/2011 4:19:37 PM)
Nah, I just discovered Top-posting; easier to read, and I likes it! [even before I knew its name!] [sm=dancer.gif][sm=writing.gif] Hmm, although I guess using a strap-on IS bottom-posting . . . quote: ORIGINAL: RapierFugue quote: ORIGINAL: Tantriqu Lol, like the 'Dog Whisperer' noise when Cartman gets corrected in South Park: DZTZ! Agreed. But worst of all in the Legion Of The Clueless are those who post replies above the post they're answering. I'd cheerfully hack their heads off with a rusty knife.

Geez, never heard anyone say "dommé." I'm chiming in 'cause I have a degree in linguistics.

No, but if I've already started reading a book I don't read all the way from the beginning each time - I pick up from where I left off. That's the true analogy.

Well given that you're probably the poster geographically closest to me who owns a rusty knife, that makes me feel better. :p

Except, if you think about it, it isn't anything of the sort.

The "picking up from where you left off" analogy is akin to trimming extraneous quotes, not reversing the order in which you read lines of text. Well, yes and no. I suppose it depends on if you think of the quotes as providing continuity (which I'm guessing is how you think of them) or as providing a reference as to what the poster is responding to (which is how I think of them). To me they're basically a more detailed version of the 'in reply to' line - that's at the bottom, so in my case why would it matter if the quotes were too? quote: ORIGINAL: VaguelyCurious Pfffft.

Ooo, I have no doubt. Can I get on your ignore list, too? Based on your posts, I'm guessing that's a good place to be. Just make sure you make a big show of announcing it. That makes you look ever so cool.

quote: ORIGINAL: SexyBossyBBW Okay, dommay is like fingers on a chalkboard, but you are taking propriety a little too far lady. [:D] <<<----- Runs and hides from the scary grammar lady. [:(] M The French word "forte," used in English as in "Drop shots are his forte" is pronounced FORT in French. In the U.S., it mostly pronounced "FOR-TAY." People seem to think that adding "AY" to the end of a word makes it more French, whereas it only makes it more Fonz.

SexyBossyBBW -> RE: How do you pronounce Domme? (1/28/2011 9:01:19 PM)
LOL... I don't know, if the people who pronounce it dom-may, use forte often. Sure it's a borrowed word, but fort(e) would sound funny. That's not his fort?! I don't believe Domme is a french word, as much as a kink world generated, female version of Dom (which is fine with me). M

I've been on BBs and UseNet a long time; seriously, it gets to be a visual abortion in quick time if people start adding at top, middle or wherever. Plus, for some reason, the ones who insist on doing it are almost always "look what a rebel I am!" types, and generally vacuous, so it's no loss to bin them. quote: ORIGINAL: VaguelyCurious Haha!

[:D] My personal preference is for Henkels, though there's nothing wrong with Globals. I'd never, ever, let anyone else grind a knife of mine. Flat-section diamond-steel is the way forward. I realise fully how deeply tragic that makes me look :)

LillyBoPeep -> RE: How do you pronounce Domme? (1/29/2011 5:28:29 AM)
forte is Italian isn't it? like crescendo and mezzoforte =p Domme is prnounced like "Dom." it's pseudo-french (i.e. NOT real french) so it follows french rules. like "homme," "pomme," "nous somme," -- in french the last "e" isn't pronounced. the italian form is Domina (right?) so italian rules don't apply to "Domme." there is no reason to EVER say "Dom-may." EVER.

RapierFugue -> RE: How do you pronounce Domme? (1/29/2011 5:34:13 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep there is no reason to EVER say "Dom-may." EVER. heh. I have to say, I've always pronounced it "dom" (same as for Dom) - the first time I heard someone say "dom-ee" (at a munch), I had to ask them to repeat themselves. And even then I was a bit shocked and appalled :) "Dom-ay" just sounds like someone trying to be French for the hell of it, and we don't want that! ;) ... unless of course someone actually is French, in which case we may pity them, but we don't condemn them* *I think I should make clear here that that's a joke - I love France (except for Paris) and the French. But it's always good to take the piss out of them :) ETA: I think that, if people want a different-sounding name for a female dominant, your "Domina" suggestion sounds nicer on the ear than anything else I've heard so far.

LillyBoPeep -> RE: How do you pronounce Domme? (1/29/2011 5:36:29 AM)
the first time i heard it i just thought "wow, have you ever read a book?" hehe =p
