Dominant v. Dominate
I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but it's hard to take someone seriously in the BDSM lifestyle when they interchange dominant and dominate. I see both men and women making usage mistakes frequently with these words. Incorrect: "I am seeking a dominate Mistress". No, you're seeking a dominant Mistress. Incorrect: "I want to dominant my wife". No, you want to dominate your wife. Below are definitions, synonyms, pronunciation, and sentence examples if you need help, or just keep using the words incorrectly if your purpose is to torture the literate.
