Yes, you are being a grammar nazi. In fact, My sig line is designed exactly with folks like you in mind, OP. Please do feel free to hit that hide button if it bothers you.





That doesn't bug me at all. The slashy speak, however, drives me nuts because I find it hard to read. I often put them on hide after a while.

The slashes are pure idiocy, whereas the personal pronoun fuckery is just jarring in a sentence and merely offends the grammar sensibilities of those of us for whom communication is a subtle art.

I tend to see that kind of shit in the profiles and messages from overly obsequious subs and since I don't regard sycophancy as an attractive trait, it's really an annoying turnoff more than anything else.

Mind you, it's merely one in a list of many. So while it raises an eyebrow, I really couldn't be fucked expending energy over it.

Do Dominants do Slashy-speak, and subs do slashy-speak? I need to know.

I wonder at what age kids figure that one out?

Status: offline 		I'm kind of torn on this. On the one hand, I'm not inclined to bend the rules of grammar for every dominant who walks by. For my significant other, maybe, if I had a significant other who I felt well and truly submissive towards. On the other hand, a dominant woman whom I respect a great deal, along with her household, collectively use slashes. And I can't quite figure out if my respect for trumps my disinclination towards non-standard capitalization.

That's just my thoughts on me using it, mind you. Other people are welcome to do as they please. YKINMKBYKIOK.
