Anyone Missing an 'N'

[LeeMann]

New to the forum and to escorting -

 

Found this topic amusing, as poor grammar is a pet peeve of mine as well. Not sure if I'm the only escort who uses the phrase "Ouroborus fantasy" in my FAQ, but I'm quite literate.

 

Unfortunately, you wouldn't know that from one of my new ads, which was edited to remove certain phrases and characters. The "editor" saw fit to change "man's man" into "mans man," thus rendering me grammatically incorrect.

And after six emails trying to get it fixed, I'm a sad and slightly-annoyed Dad.

Prostrate? It's positively supine.

I'd also like to include guys who talk about prostrate massages in the ads. Does that mean that we'll be lying face down (which actually may be exactly what he means, although I doubt it)? or is some sort of manipulation of my internal body parts on the menu? Either way, I'll pass.

In pronunciation, I hate hearing 'nu-cue-lar' for 'nu-clee-er'. (Although I'll admit it's off the subject- it's still a pet verbal peeve of mine).

 

That was difficult to describe without having the International Phonetic Alphabet on my phone- not that I can actually read the IPA.

Didn't President Carter use this pronunciation, and in fact, didn't he have some training with Nuclear Engineering

(in relationship to Submarines?)

yes, Carter pronounced it that way in a debate....right before he famously mentioned he had been asking daughter Amy for advice....

I seem to remember tht Carter was guilty of this; but then, I also think George W. was also.
