ORIGINAL: BiteGirl So something that I'm not overly interested in, as, it seems silly to me (but if it's your thing, I mean no offence). is the way that people talk in forums and chatrooms to each other, using capitals for dominants and lowercase for submissives. I am curious, what would you do for a switch? would it be like Dom, sub, S/s/S/switch ? I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, I'm just curious, as switching, in this essence, is outside of the rule, as far as I know. I've always found that whole uppercase/lowercase stuff pretty silly, people should stick to using halfway decent English, sticking random slashes or whatever in your words is not halfway decent English... Like in High School there was this one teacher that tried to tell us that it should be "he/she" instead of "they," (Something like, "When the person enters the room, they will first see.." kind of they)... Sure maybe it's plural instead of singular, but the slash in he/she (or she/he, or even a (s)he), is just plain awkward.... Anytime someone uses slashes like a T/they or whatever the crap people do it makes me want to say the word twice (in my head), and, yeah, is just kind of awkward.... Also, lowercase "I"s, is just wrong, 'I' by itself should always be capital. I mean, it's bad enough when people online refuse to use any capitalization or punctuation, but, the whole slashyness is (again) just kind of silly. That said, I am rather apathetic so it doesn't bother me too much, and I wouldn't tell someone to stop typing that way (At least, anyone I didn't know well, someone I did know well I might just say they didn't have to type that way when talking to me)... So, basically, fnord. I've got a strange feeling going off on that tangent threw me off a little in writing this post, but, hey. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
