OK, so I've been pondering this whole issue of how it is that people feel intimidated by someone who just happens to be able to write a complete sentence AND spell practically all of the words properly.

This isn't rocket surgery people, it's sheer unmitigated (?) English.

I don't use any words that you wouldn't find in a book or on a poorly-constructed Ouija Board or in a bad dream involving a gorilla and a blowtorch. OK, so maybe I do make up a few words, but, let's be honest, "domesticatrix" really has a nice ring to it, huh?

So then it occurred to me that, what with all of the specialty dating sites that are popping up everywhere -- let's face it, 50 years ago, no one would have thought "Gay Italian Antelopes With Cataracts Dating" would have been a viable concept -- maybe there's a need for a dating site for people who LIKE to be intimidated....!

By whatever. Government. A giant octopus. A tornado. Good spelling. It doesn't matter.

With this in mind, I am herewith proposing the formation of something called IntimiDating.

This could be a gold mine, people....!!

Ok, now you're intimadating me!

rocket surgery????? couldn't resist...sorry Lex

proper grammar/spelling > tornado/hurricane?

and we're off

Sorry, I meant brain science. I always get those two mixed up.

Brain surgery and rocket science

I had a woman call me up last night to ask me what o-d-o-m-e-t-e-r meant, I said isn't it the meter that tracks your mileage? She said that she was paying a traffic ticket and needed to know what to put there. So I gave her Lex's home phone number.

You do not intimadate me in the least

Neither does your grammer
Your spelling
Your puncuation

When I first joined you corrected my whole profile. I laughed and changed nothing

We are all people who can or can not spell. Some of us did not pay attention in English class some of us did

The way a person writes affects my life in no way at all

It's the thought that really counts!

u poor victim of ur own thread

OMG ITS A TORNADO!!!!!!

oh well, it could be worse. it could be a perfectly articulated and grammatically superb paragraph on the physics of artesian wells and their aquifers.

thank god its only a tornado.

Exactly. It's important for us to have our priorities in order!

A great concept. It can have special features like:

One-sided match
Search on IQ
Minimum profile length of 12 pages.

I agree, but you should see some of the e-mails I get!

I was thinking of an Apostrophe Forum.

Oh, I forgot about the spelling/grammar engine that deletes your email if it doesn't meet minimums.

I suppose you think you are the only one?

On another site I get mails from men with an American profile and a Nigerian accent, they are hilarious.
If it wasn't for them I would have left there, but I do need a good laugh now and then.
