I am not an english major by any stretch of the imagination, but my degree is in theatre/communication... So I type like I talk... Too many dots and all...

I do that exact same thing! I'm trying to so hard to get out of the dot habit...not because it's poor english but because I have to remember this is written word and not spoken.

I should have put your complaints as my biggest pet peeve, (note the comma) people who take too many short cuts when typing. In fact I won't even bother reading it.

Can I be the tree in which you pluck your tasty bananas from? All this banana talk makes me think just being your vine wouldn't be enough

We have never run across this, but then we aren't IMers as a rule.

I must share that we made a BIG mistake recently by letting a side of ourselves show through too early.

In an e-mail to a potential couple who contacted us, we closed with a brief line of hip-hop talk--similar to what EternallySingle wrote. We quickly learned this was not a wise decision...we got droped like a hot coal.

It was a good lesson and we laugh about it now.

P.S. I LOVE using ellipses! I think they work well in a forum. I stick them in where I could be writing more, but choose not to.

And am I being a little hard on the use of the word "dawg"?

I use that as a NickName on a variety of forums -- ( the dashes signify a pause in speach, similiar to ... )

Suddenly I feel Immature ...

There's nothing wrong with using ellipsis...unless it's to excess...like on one board I was on...there was this guy...he used ellipsis instead of other punctuation...all the time...it grew annoying...

I could say something funny and a bit rude here...

But I learned a looooong time ago - when I was being raised by rednecks in the Florida panhandle - you do NOT piss off a guy in a cowboy hat...

Ever...

So - you're cool, dawg!

I just have to say that I love this board!!! After working 60 hours in the past 5 days, I came home this evening....wait....this probably is considered night not evening anymore.........and thought I would just collapse in a heap. Instead I decided to check email, read this board and then probably head off to bed in a weary and not very well-humored state. Luckily, the first posting I read was Spoo's. This entire thread gave me a much needed chuckle. Thanks so much to you all!

As for the the original post, I found it interesting because we often find ourselves being messaged by people, who quite obviously have not simply made typos. They either type in slang....and only in slang or they give every impression of having never attended school beyond 1st grade. While I don't expect to spend hours of time chatting away with the modern day likes of Proust, I do expect that anyone I might have even the slightest sexual interest in, should have at least a passing acquaintance with a dictionary. My theory is that no matter how good the sex is, there's still a point when conversation has to take place!

If the individual or the couple has no communication skills, knowing all the tricks in the Kama Sutra are won't make them interesting to me. Hmmmmm maybe I should re-think that one! I will admit that Cap used to think that I should be a little more lenient in this but past experiences have taught me that it's worth my while to use grammar, intelligence and wit as indicators of whether I'll enjoy any level of the company of the couple or inidividual. As time has gone by, he has come to trust me more and more on this point.

As for what constitutes a couple, I agree that it has to do more with the nature of the relationship than the length of time they have been engaged in it or their marital status. We do not ever play with married individuals who are "with" another or alone. That is always a firm rule here. There's enough drama that comes into our lives without that! We do tend to shy away from couples who make it clear that they are new to each other. Again the potential for drama seems disproportionate in those situations.

Well, I find myself rambling. I'm not sure how much fatigue is a factor but I think it's time to stop. I just wanted again to say thanks for the interesting read and the laughs.

Surprisingly, I can forgive a lot of mispelling, typo's and even the short forms or abbrv (<--- ) of things when i read forums or IM's.

If, however you speak poorly, i tend to get annoyed.

Words ( or non-words ) like slippy ( slippery ) Irregardless ( Its either irrelavant or regardless; not a combination of the two ) warsh, (wash) sandwrich ( sandwich) drive me roight ( hahahah ) up the wall.


Now, I'm not sure if anyone knows the "I am Canadian Rant " but we have one from here that is similiar.

Thank you all for answering a burning question I've been fretting over lately!
I've been toying with the idea of inviting a man that takes my breath away to play with me somewhat against my better judgment. It's yet another that talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk when it comes right down to a relationship. Don't get me wrong, the sex is over the top, but so much more is needed if we are to be as GoodTimes so eloquently states what 1 plus 1 ought to be. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You..... that is a mistake not worth making!

What a hoot..I just got back from the Island yesterday, so it made it even funnier.

Gee, Mr. Spoonmonkey. You may have passed up a wonderful opportunity. A chance to be with a real freak and he may not even like her well enough to beat you up if you approach his ASO (almost significant other)... or is it SSO (surrogate significant other)... or maybe TSO (ticket significant other).

Around here, dawg is used to refer to the U of Washington Huskies by those incapable of understanding anything but football. Think about it. If you just turned on a football game he might be so distracted that even if he grew to like his SSO he might not try to beat you up until the game was over.

Sheeeeesh. (pardon the pseudo-word. I tend to be vocabularitally challenged at times.) :-)

btw: I have a cartoon on my office door that shows a cowboy standing in a bar with dead or unconscious guys lying everywhere. The furniture is broken up and he has two smoking guns in his hands. He is saying "Hopefully is an adverb!" Don't feel bad about your aversion to gratuitous slang. I hope you don't mind too much the gratuitous use of "gratuitous". :-) or the gratuitous use of " :-) "

Actually - I think it was his WDFNSO (Will Do For Now Significant Other). Though I am leaning towards IFTPOSO (I Found This Pic On-line Significant Other)

Actually - had I turned on a football game, my FCTBSO (Football Crazy, Tom Boyish Significant Other) would have ignored him and watched the game... Which would have been distracting for me since she has a LOT of questions about the new "bump" rule...

I can live with " :-) " if you can live with "..."
