Too lazy to proofread, too lazy to be MY sub

Sometimes checking my collarme mail can be down right entertaining. Below is the profile of a potential who messaged me as well as our correspondences. I've bolded the worst grammar transgressions.

Hello everyone i hope you are all doing well. please read my full profile.

i am [potential sub's username] and i am a submissive. i have been in this lifestyle since 2006 . i do not have much experience but i am willing to learn and grow. my goal is to find a domme or couple that i can serve and learn from and make happy and be theres. i am looking for a loving caring domme or couple, someone who is not to strict. i am not looking to give up all my freedoms hence me being a submissive not a slave. maybe one day down the road i will be ready to become a slave if i find that special domme or couple  i am willing to give up everything for..

i am willing to travel to find a domme or couple and meet them . i am also willing to pay for them to come visit me if need be. i am very kind, caring, smart, obedient. i am a quick learner and a gentleman. i am good at house work. cleaning, laundry, gardening, wood work, computers, cooking, i am learning to give good messages.

if i send a message please respond either way weather you are interested or not. also if i unsend a message its becuase i didnt like what i wrote and i am thinking of something better to write. i am very picky about what i say and write. i am trying to be a better writer
more to come

I am always looking for more friends and i am very interested in talking to you and getting to know you.I am also very very very interested in talking to you about possibly being your submissive

I'm not interested but wish you luck in your search.

potential sub on 4/9/10 at 10:12 AM:
may i ask why you arnt interested

MistressLilyana on 4/9/10 at 10:19 AM:
Well since you asked, you state in your profile you're smart, then you proceed to misspell and misuse multiple words. I realize everyone makes typos, but there are enough to make me think you're either not as intelligent as you think or you're careless. Either are turn offs for me. I do wish you the best of luck in your search though. You'll find someone. I'm just not the right one of you.

potential sub on 4/9/10 at 10:23 AM:
well to me that is not a good enough reason. people make more typos on computers especialy when they are typing fast like i am and doing a school project at the same time but if that is how you think i wish you the best of luck. may i say thought that if you have alot of small things like this that prevent you from finding someone then you should rethink everything and maybe shorten the list of what turns you off as everyone makes typos and has small problems

The right guy for me will think enough about me to proofread his messages to me. The right woman for you won't care. Thanks for the feedback.

potential sub on 4/9/10 at 9:22 PM:
lol well see thats the problem people dont proof read alot and most of the time its spell check if they want to.. people are lazy these days in many ways

MistressLilyana on 4/10/10 at 0:18 AM:
Thanks for making my point. I don't want a sub that is too lazy to proof his communications. That means he's lazy in other areas, or as you say, in many ways.

I know your jaw is on the floor as you read my responses. You're probably thinking I'm way too nice. I always try to be respectful because you just never know when someone you meet online will get upset with you and go all stalker on you. 

Still, you never know when I'll snap on one of these obnoxious idiots one day. So if you have a collarme profile, for goodness sake, check it for grammar errors. Show the Dominants you contact a little respect and take a few seconds to proof your messages too.

  1. Umm, not only was he too lazy to proof his work, which by the way doesn't explain his profile mistakes, BUT a good potential submissive would have accepted your 'no' and moved on, not argued with you to try and convince you that your opinion was wrong. lol

  2. There were a lot of "i"'s in there as well. It might just be me, but I'd imagine a submissive person would not start 90% of their sentences with 'i'. My 2 cents. :)

  3. I do agree with @Anna and @EvoEddie about subs.

    However,

    Quote: "Below is the profile of a potential who messaged me as well as our _correspondences_. I've bolded the worst grammar transgressions." (Emphasis added)

    Quote: "I'm just not the right one _of_ you." (Emphasis added)

    Quote: "...or are considering _withing_ my posts..." (Emphasis added)

    Seems to me, for one who has such a problem with typos coming from other people, you ought to at least hold yourself to a higher standard, particularly since it's your very own blog.

    Ironically your post is called "Too lazy to proofread..."

  4. You were tremendously generous with your time to explain all this! I immediately delete all messages with mistakes...it makes me think the sender is a dumbass and I just don't have the time to teach someone to spell as well as how to be my sub.

  5. @Sir Zoomer -

    You are absolutely correct. I never claimed I was perfect. I do proofread my correspondences but I'm human and I miss things.

  6. based on the mistakes he made, i would guess that english isn't his native language. any given spell checker would make the same mistakes. since he had no idea how to spell the word, one suggestion is as good as another. english is a pain in the ass due to there being so many homophones.

    also, the general flow just seems foreign to me, though i'm not exactly sure what i am basing that on.

    normally i'd feel sorry for the guy because he's trying his best to use a second language, and i can even kind of understand him wanting to know why you arnt interested, but to keep arguing after the explanation is just bad form.

    and yes, i'm too lazy to hit the shift key.
