Oh my God, I can't take this anymore. It's "dominant" damnit! Dominate is a verb, and dominant is an adjective.

The amount of people doing this on VN is killing me.

Most of us are too badass to use just adjectives so we sub in those action words instead.

I am not completely certain, but I believe that a more grammatically correct phrasing would be:

A grammar policeman has arrived.

Or, you could try:

The grammar police have arrived. If you meant more than one policeman arrived.


You're welcome!!

Technically speaking neither of you are correct. The proper term is Police person. Its neither gender specific anymore.

I do appreciate the remedial training in Title IX. Thank you.

 

[DaddyChad]

It's the internet. You're grammer and spellin has no power hear.

Personally I think it sounds ridiculous but its solely a respect thing which I can understand.

and I am willing to bet that more times than not we type the words correctly but speak them a completely different way.

They remind people that they are to be addressed as "Officer". So official for someone making 28k per year sporting the crew cut.

True, they should at least be making triple that for the crap they have to put up with.

 

[butchna]

Is it "damnit" or "damn it"?

Depends on how pissed off you are...I think Mock (in his present state)used the correct connotation. :geek:

I just don;t like being lectured about speeding 5 or 10 over or that I did not come to a complete stop for 3 seconds at a stop sign..Just right the ticket or let me go.. Pretty simple

You aren't kidding! If I saw it just once I would have done my usual joking around since it's still an egregious error (Like I would expect a 10 year old to be able to differentiate the two), but I have seen many, many posters do this.

Yes, my jimmies have entered the stratosphere.
