ORIGINAL: Elegant This is good basic advise for anyone writing any type of profile or introductory message for any site. I also suggest use of proper capitalization as opposed to using lowercase and uppercase to denote a lifestyle orientation. While this may be a kink fad, the use of lowercase and uppercase designations makes for difficult reading and often conveys someone who lives their kink life mostly online. Many other things help make a profile easier to read and comprehend. Constant overuse…..and prolific use…of those dots dots dots to replace common punctuation ….very annoying. While these are often used in IM’s…and general posts….sprinkling them too liberally in a profile…instead of using periods, commas, colons, semi-colons etc…or starting a new paragraph…..well, you get the point? One other note of importance: be aware of commonly misspelled words and typos in your own profiles. ALWAYS use spellcheck before posting a profile! These are misspellings I just now found in one profile: Realise = realize Demondstrate = demonstrate Amoung = among accomodated = Accommodated baords = boards ignornance = ignorance I get a suprissing amount of questions about some areas of my spelling both here and on other sites so I'll reiterate it again... I live in Australia thus my spell check is set to either Australian English or British English (dependent which spell checker I'm using. Simple folks and it goes like this. Aussies speak Australian Kiwis speak New Zealand Canadians speak Canadian British folk speak English US folk speak American All is a form of English most with differences in spelling the load stone of the language is the Queens English used in the UK. Q.E.D.
