This forum is quite the place. Reading the thoughts and opinions of these interesting people is quite a thrill. That is, when I am able to read their posts. It is a shame that a number of the ladies here do not have dominance over the english language. Really, it would be lovely if you were to discipline those run-on sentences with the same zeal you approach an errant backside. Many of the gents are no better. I suggest you humbly spell check your posts and submit yourself totally to the service of correct spelling. However, it is completely unnecessary to punish the venerable 'old guard', as I have observed here. It doesn't take an Aristotle to know the difference between et al and et cetera. And a special concluding note to Madam Dread, please, please, I am begging you, learn the mystic ways of the apostrophe.

Hav a grameticallly cerrect dey.

Yawn....this is getting extreamly boring. Yet another 'submissive' chastising the Dommes with a profile that was created today.

I've wrote some comments near its conclusion which seem appropriate here.

I invite you to look toward the upper right of your screen. There is a link called "Search." If this is a topic of interest to you then you may find a simple search for the word "grammar" inside the body of posts will garner you enough reading to keep you busy for days, perhaps even weeks.

Of course, doing so may leave you feeling foolish for having made the post to begin with. It's your call.

As for people who mangle our language with the defiant attitude of "It's self expression so the rest of the world can come aboard or blow off," I whole heartedly recommend "blowing off" with liberal use of Collarme's "block" feature. Said feature will enble you to never again have to read what is painful to attempt. That feature is located at the bottom of the cell the poster's name is in. The cell is to the left of the post. It's a little red hand that's called "Block," which is located on the lower right portion of the cell next to "Addr." and "Email."

Welcome to CollarMe.

Will you be issuing further commands today? Should we all sit up straight at our keyboards and take notice? Or perhaps you have decided that this is where you'll effusively emote regarding your personal pet peeves and allow that to turn into you making rules about threads.

Have you discussed these rules with the owners of CollarMe? Do they appear in the forum guidelines? If they do, kindly point them out because I must have missed them.

Here's some unsolicited advice (since we're giving it out so freely today) - You're not making friends, is this your intent?

In the meantime, I do not have to time to Cut, copy and paste into a word processing program to so do. While I empathize with the point you are attempting to make, you manner in doing so is ill suited for most.

The word 'English' should be capitalized

I did not set out today to annoy, that is an unforseen benefit, and normally I stay silent about my pet peaves, because I know as well as anyone that spelling mistakes do happen. Yet the writing on this board in pockets can only be described as egregious. How are the good men of this forum supposed to submit to women that write like monkeys chained to keyboards? By insisting we raise the bar on grammar, we raise the stardards on everything. Tired of 'wanna-be' subs? Then spell rediculous with an 'i'. 'Do me' subs with laundry lists getting you down? Don't dominant them, dominate them. Good relationships begin with good grammar. And besides, the one group of people who I have consistently seen to be clueless on one matter or the other are dominant women, because they refuse listen to anyone.


unforeseen

peeves

standards

Not to mention the murder of the profile name with no spaces and the laziness of 4 instead of for.

Shouldn't one begin again?


Ah... what was that about throwing stones?

Love and Peace

Status: offline 		Dear gods. If I read another message about this, I'm going to kill someone.

It bugs me too when people murder English (and are native speakers). Try reading the e-mails/journal entries my little sister turns out. They're so scary that basic comprehension is a problem. Do I say anything? NO. Not unless I really have no idea what she's saying. I -hate- it, but it's her problem whether or not she wants to come across as someone who can't handle basic writing, NOT MINE.

I hate dominant/dominate. I hate 'sub' 'subbie' and 'dom.' Do I feel the need to bitch at people every time they use them? No. (Well, not unless they've contacted me privatly off the boards. Then I might).

Be content disliking it! You do -not- need to broadcast your discontent. There are plenty of us who hate it, but we ignore what we can't read. Doesn't hurt -anyone-.

And......who is gentlesubmissive? I went into the ads section, and there is no one by that name. Spelling error maybe?

PS. . .you are the one that quoted people "badgering" gentlesubmissive in another thread so please don't act like you have never heard of him. . .because that "he" is "you"
You aren't fooling anyone.

If you're so disenchanted with the Dominant women, go submit to the men. I'm tired of misogyny in sub clothes. Oh yes, and take your own advice- use spell checking.

I suspect this comment was for me. If you would be so kind as to privately mail me as to how to break up a quote, I'd be very greatful.

Thanking you in advance,
