Guest S***dst*** Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I have seen my fair share of grammatical errors and typos (lord knows I do them myself) having been a TA for a few years. Having to decipher messages that are written to help others make informed decisions, is in itself, frivolous. Now I'm not trying to castigate people whose first language is not english. This is quite different from my point and I respect them for trying their hardest. Which leads into my actual point. PLEASE, PLEASE do not be under the influence of drugs (or what have you) when writting recommendations. PLEASE exude effort in being comprehensive about what you write. For example: "i was in dat part of da citee der is no good place two eet. i went their n had wat good fod wuz." Not even joking. If you look you will find, unless they were removed, recommendations or posts meant to be helpful; written in this manner. When I encounter such posts I think to myself, "stay away from whatever they are suggesting." Something to think about before you click that "Submit" button.

belladonna 279 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 recommendation. you didn't spell it properly. lol. Kind of defeats the purpose of your argument. -Typo Nazi. (just kidding, I do agree with what you're saying. I also hate the overly descriptive recommendations. I find them extremely distasteful and indiscreet.)

The General 11309 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I don't totally disagree, and I guess there are degrees of what the poster means, but I think everyone lacks some competency in writing and spelling. And if you are going to make a point about it, you might want to not have many errors in your own post: who's = whose writting = writing recomendations = recommendations ment = meant So before casting too many stones, you might want to check whether you live in a glass house yourself.

toine 30556 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 ...and it seems that EXUDE is wrong, too. Probably meant EXERT. I won't cast any stone: I've seen my share as a former TA, still see daily in my job from people with advanced degrees, and I still make quite a few, of various kinds...:) toine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Spelling and grammar do not seem to be that important these days. Texting has taken over!!!! I think that even the old spell checker is almost out of use as well. Technology has created a very lazy society; pity! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I agree with you as well, it kind of turns my stomach to hear the "play by play" graphic description. :| This is a recommendation board is it not? Gentlemen are recommending ladies by their choice of words or "play by play". I'm sure that the ladies know what is written prior hitting the submit button. I have done many recommendations in the a past may they be of very naughty play by play nature, or very sincere and sweet. The ladies that I've been with have enjoyed reading it much as I did when I wrote it. Usually I send a pm 1st to the lady for their thumbs up or down, or take something out of it. And personally I really don't give a shit about the grammar. I am not writing to a English Teacher, or writing for a newspaper article or penthouse. Just don't read the play by play I guess now eh? Oh, ya my bad... there is no such word as eh...But Only in Canada:mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Well said Pete...some people may really appreciate the play by play and get off on it LOL. If others do not care for it, they are free to click on another thread! Freedom of expression (but only good thoughts in Cerbland) is a wonderful right that we all have to enjoy!

A***** A***** 510 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Play by play, as in extremely graphic, that is what I meant. If it is done in a polite way, then I have no problem. Write it with some sort of intelligence, not like you are writing for an old boys club, can't stand the ones that are. We are not to be graded like a piece of meat as in L A S, but humans after all. yes, there is such a word, it's iconic, belongs to Canada, and it's called Eh! Better then ain't, huh, or yo!

PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Just an example of a thread that has 110 posts in it, and has been viewed nearly 39,000 times, I'm sure there is graphic detail in it, and more than likely THE ODD SPELLING MISTAKE http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=8069&highlight=orleans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belladonna 279 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) I think play by play is repulsive. My opinion has nothing to do with being decent, polite and it has nothing to with freedom of speech. I am not trying to censor anyone by saying that I find it rude. I still have hope that some people stay true to the word intimacy. Not everything has to be exploitative and pornographic. When it comes to grammar and spelling : nothing has to be perfect, but it's nice to see that some people try to demonstrate that they actually care. I'll never forget that essay I read about the devolution of the English language in correlation with texting/forums/emails.

Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I may be wrong, but I have yet to see a reco on here that over steps the intimacy bounderies. They seem to be respectful and stop short of divulging too much information. What I have seen is a kind of short form play by play .... a coles notes version .... which leaves out the exact details but give you a synopsis of the encounter. Perhaps I am too new to this to be offended by this type of thing; ask me again this time next year and I may be in a different frame of mind. Sorry if I offended anyone, that was not my intention. :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whatsup 11893 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Pete and others, keep the concise recommendations coming. Unfortunately it is impossible to appease everyone, so just go for the majority that do enjoy reading the play by play recommendations. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newton 714 Report post Posted April 15, 2010 Play by play written in good taste can be fun to read and informative of the girl's likes and dislikes. Normally I'm descriptive of looks, impression and interaction but general of sex acts. Posted via Mobile Device Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted April 15, 2010 When you are dancing at the club, do you and your gent have a discussion during your show and words exchanged through your dance and intimacy in the CR? And then does he not go back to the rest of his buds and give them a play by play? So were you not just recommended? Trying to understand where the difference might be? I think play by play is repulsive. My opinion has nothing to do with being decent, polite and it has nothing to with freedom of speech. I am not trying to censor anyone by saying that I find it rude.

I should add that some girls might find it exciting. Everything is relative in the end.... They do appear, TigerClaw is well known for his multi-part reco that reads like a novel. Although I have no proof of it, these likely get the pre-approval of the lady in question first. As you said, it is a matter of comfort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure a vast number of authors of recommendations send them to the provider for approval prior to the actual submission, therefore this is showing nothing but respect to the provider.
