In fact, aren't there some things that might make a book crap that mightn't be limiting factors on a movie, due to differences in media?
I'm going to agree with this.
Now someone with a better memory than me come up with a supporting example, stat!
You turned evil a lot faster than I thought you would.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is The Godfather a faithful adaptation of the book?

"Predominately" makes my teeth itch.
("Dominate" is a word too, but it's a noun, not an adjective.)
It's a verb, not a noun.
If, for any reason, anyone peruses a BDSM/kink/fetish-oriented online community/message board/whatever, you will find the DELIGHTFUL presence of many many (MANY) people who identify themselves as the one in charge (top/dom/master), who refer to themselves as (I shit you not) "Dominate." As in "I am a Dominate."
If you cannot exercise your dominance over the English language, then you will NEVER get near me with a flogger, so help me god.
It's been pointed out that this makes me snobby. I call it having standards.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Now I'm earwormed with dominator, dominator/I'm the one and only dominator! Do not want!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If "dub-dub-dub" has to go away, "whu-whu-whu" might take its place.
Ack! He's holding my sanity hostage!
Though, you know what? Anyone that implements a website and makes the www mandatory isn't cool anyway. The only meaningful subdomains are subdomains that aren't dub-dub-dub. Get with the program, web people.

Was it Amych or Plei who said the English language needs a safe word?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's...what I meant. Wow, I was just all kinds of wrong, wasn't I. I claim the "It was early" excuse.

Ooh, good one! Except I don't know because I've never read it.

That excuse has gotten me out of many a grammatical mishap.
ION, I'm editing an article on stem cell mobilization, and it keeps making me giggle, because it sounds like a military tactic. "Mobilize the stem cells! Get them on the front line NOW!!!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yes, the whole problem of it being early didn't help my predominately-or-predominantly dilemma. I think I will warn the author, who is ESL, that it is correct usage but far less common than the other.
