"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.

Now I'm earwormed with dominator, dominator/I'm the one and only dominator! Do not want!

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?

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

Is The Godfather a faithful adaptation of the book?

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

I had to check my profile, because I used it as a tagline; it was Amy-Chuh.

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!!!"

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.

Hee. "Go go go!" Sometimes things have fun names. In my cancer pharm course, I mentioned the antioxidant superoxide dismutase. How awesome is that name?

Godfather is mostly true to the book. I read the book a long time ago, but I remember it was pretty consistent. The thing that absolutely matched was the tone. Coppola got it perfect. I felt the same sense of tension and dread reading the book as I did watching the movie.
