Bad grammar and butchering a language

Bad grammar and butchering a language

You know, it really gripes me when people cannot get it through their heads...

You converse and have a conversation. Conversate isn’t a damn word!

You dominate someone, as in verb/action. Stop saying, “I am a dominate”. No, you are a dominant. As in noun. I scroll through numerous profiles. I am judging you based solely on the ability to form coherent sentences.

Is it just me or does this chap any one else’s ass, too?

I also see the opposite where people write about "dominanting". Dominant is the noun or adjective. Dominate is the verb. I pay close attention to the grammar of subs' and doms' writing as well. If one is not using their native or primary language leway is given. We all make mistakes, but please have the wherewithal to proofread.

I agree teacher, one thing I’ve noticed is how the scammers really don’t grasp English syntax. So following my logic, if it’s really bad, I assume you’re probably a scammer and I scroll on.

The other one I get fired up about is then vs than.

I got a weird jumble of misused your/you’re/ur last night. And incoherent babbling

Your/you’re and their/there/they’re are huge pet peeves of mine.

I make plenty of typos of my own so I don’t expect perfection, but I do require coherent sentences with punctuation in order to partake in a conversation with someone.

I know what you mean. I am not the greatest when it comes to grammar I know but I do my best.

My grammer and spelling are horrific.

It isnt international.

I mean intentional.

I just suck at it.

There’s a clearly identifiable difference between honest mistakes/autocorrects and the level of awful being discussed here.

MasterBear​(other butch) • Jun 18, 2019

How can one tell the difference?

I used "dominate " as a referral to myself, it was auto correct, and thank the spirits someone said something.


What I can't stand is illegible.

All the words spelled right and I have no idea what the person is trying to say.

Honestly? I was trying to figure out the dominate vs dominant when referring to a person. I always thought it was dominant when referring to a person and dominate as a verb. But they are so widely used interchangeably on this site and other similar sites that I started wondering if I was oblivious to some commonly accepted lingo.

I’m very good at figuring out meaning when someone follows foreign grammatical rules and don’t judge that. But random word soup and clearly not even trying makes my head hurt.


(Haha. Had to edit because of being autocorrected )
