... the difference being, we don't say 'femmay' or 'blonday'. With that pronunciation, it should have an acute accent over the 'e', and a second 'e'. As in 'dommée'. The problem is, that would mean 'one who was dommed', which is not really what is being conveyed! The problem is, when it is pronounced correctly, the same way as the male form, you can't distinguish it in speech. Which is why I tend to use the word 'domina', when that distinction needs to be made.. 'To loose' means 'to let go'. 'Lose' means you can't find it. 'Discrete' means separate. 'Crescendo' means 'growing'. 'Fulsome' doesn't mean 'full'. 'Unique' doesn't mean 'very unusual'. Edited 31 Dec 11, 12:39 PM by Prunesquallor | |||

I say 'dom' for 'dommes' and 'male dom' for 'doms'.

Thank goodness I've never heard anyone say dom-may - how totally horrible. I also hate fem dom or femidom. I also always say dom or male dom when speaking - but will write domme as it seems to get the meaning across in the easiest way possible. | |||

Sorry, I know I should answer your point BUT I love your cute Christmas kitty...Ahhhhh! Anyway, calmed down now. You are lucky not to have heard 'Dom-may' mauled out of a snarky twit's mouth, when they think they are being clever or up themselves. It is vommy stuff. Dominant partner in an FLR with @paulss | |||

Domm-ay? Makes me think of cheap trainers, frankly. I don't care if God himself pronounces it like that; it brings velcro fastenings to mind.

Oh Gracious, now another bad connotation for Dom-may. Trainers, I ask, you, how much worse can it get. Dominant partner in an FLR with @paulss | |||

It does not compute to me how you could possibly not! That is what it looks like and reads like in English, which is the only language I know. IMHO though, it is irrelevant anyway. A bit like the spelling/grammar Nazis, if you can read and understand what is written what does it matter. Dom or Dom-May, same drink, different bottle. Gary xxx.

Interesting. I always refer to males as just "Doms". Don't think I use a gender prefix for women. My goal - to save women from nature (Dior) |
