Ev's kink corner

I've been around a few decades, and have a bit to say. I'm not going to call myself an expert, but I'm happy to share my thoughts on BDSM.

My mother was, among other things, an English major. She instilled in me a love of language. I became an avid reader quite young.

Now, many of you have likely come across the "slashyspeak" phenomenon online. Some of you practice it. You do you! That's ok. It's a quirky bit of online protocol, and everyone's preferences are their own on that account. It hurts no one! 

Except, it does hurt my head just a tiiiiny bit, because when someone types out "hey A/all, how are Y/you doing today?"

In my head, it reads as a stutter.

So it sounds, in my head, like "hey a-all, how are y-you doing today?"

Am I the only one who parses it like that?
