Just a drive-by to mention that dominant can also be an adjective.
Personally I find the incorrect use of the word "dominate" (I am a Dominate! Bow to me now!) very helpful to quickly decide whether to keep a message in my inbox or delete it straightaway. It saves me lots of time. lol
And ... now the secret is out.
Language evolves. Ten million internet perverts have deemed "dominate" a noun, and now it's a noun.

Well, its one half of a compound noun, if that's what they are called--"Dominant personality." We've shortened it. Now people have forgotten that the other half was "personality" and they seem to think it was always "Dominant man."
Another one is the word "Attitude," as in "She has an attitude." I remember the first time I heard that -- "What? What attitude does she have, good? Bad? Sunny?"
well. I just learned something newMaybe her pitch or yaw are off-level?

Oops. Sorry. I didn't read the back of my Secret Submissive Society membership card thoroughly enough. Hopefully most of the "Dominates" out there aren't reading this thread. ::crosses fingers:: lol
Always read the small print.

I do, every time I read it. It makes me laugh.I doubt anyone, out loud or in their own mind says "I am a dom-i-NATE".
Mostly, honestlyDominant is also an adjective
but we are supposed to keep that top secret.
Seriously doubt they know the differenceI suspect even the people who use them incorrectly probably know that and don’t catch it when they proofread.
Remember, autocorrect is your worst enema.
