what is worst to be called a sex toy or a pet.

[Harmony_1985]

Well if we're gonna be like that...

It should be "My Dom and I were...", not "My Dom and I was..."

I've started to dislike the way that people who post on this board - especially new people - often get attacked for their ignorance.

Using less-than-perfect grammar is not a hanging offence. Neither is being bad at spelling. Using good grammar and knowing how to spell don't make you A Good Person.

Woohoo for you if you're lucky enough to have received a better-than-average education or to have been blessed with a higher-than-average IQ. Can't you just enjoy what you have? Are you really so insecure that you need to try and humiliate others just to prove to all us strangers out here in the ether that you understand a little bit about grammar?

Adakgirl, I understand what you're saying but I still don't feel there is any need for any of us to criticise others' command of English - especially when there is no difficulty in understanding the meaning of what they have posted.

For what it's worth, I am a full-time staff writer and editor at a large publishing house. I can spot bad grammar at 100 paces with one eye closed.

I can also understand what the OP in this thread was trying to say - so why make an issue about the OP's use of language? What does it achieve? The OP didn't come here looking for an English lesson.

I'm not trying to start a fight. I just feel for the people who post on this board in good faith, looking for information on BDSM, and who then get attacked for their use of language.

I was not, in any way, shape or form, degrading the OP for their grammar issues.

I was merely stating that it sends my brain into complete meltdown. I'm OCD and I'm also a creative writer, so it comes naturally to me. Anything I write has a complete grammar and spelling check before it gets put forward.

Sorry if it came across any other way.

OK Cattypuss, I understand where you are coming from also. I don't want to fight with you over this either. You certainly have the right to speak up when you see something that disturbs you.

 

[Cattypuss]

Ok. Good.

I Couldn't agree more, some people seem to take a great deal of joy in pointing out other peoples short comings.

I agree with the term "worthless" or "ugly" being one of the worst things he could call me. "Stupid" would be the be all end all of my self esteem though. I pride my brains more than my breasts any day.

Same. Especially on the 'stupid' front. Definite hard limit that one.

Ya pet is better than toy.

Well said, it is simply bad manners to shove it in a person's face when they make a minor error. Some people need perspective ... and perhaps a class at a finishing school, lol! A kinky finishing school ....

My dom and me was talking about what was worst to be called. i think it's worst to be a call sex toy then pet because a pet you love and care about. where as a sex toy it's only there to have sex with. so i wanted to ask everyone and see what you think.

This is a case of context. I would accept being called both during play, but as a "nickname" outside of sexual play, I would agree with you.
