Smart people, stupid grammar.

I took the IQ test that ALT has on the site. Then I forgot about it until I was looking at my profile page, and clicked on a little thingy that said: I.Q. Test Results for DarkGoddess Your Score: 31 Your I.Q. score is 137 (Exceptional). The average score on ALTcom is 112. Click here to retake the quiz or here to refer this quiz to a friend. OK, so yeah, this I knew. I had to have an IQ of at least 120 to even be CONSIDERED for the school I attended. (I was a Special Needs Kid. You know the kids who would have gotten the shit kicked out of them had they been in the New York City public school system? I went to Geek Skool. Hunter, if you must know. In NY. We rock.) But I digress. If the average I.Q. on this site is 112, why are there so many people who dont understand how to use the words Dominant and Dominate ?!?! Let me splain. DOMINANT: dom·i·nant [Pronunciation Key] (d m -n nt)adj. 1.Exercising the most influence or control. 2.Most prominent, as in position; ascendant. 3.Genetics. Of, relating to, or being an allele that produces the same phenotypic effect whether inherited with a homozygous or heterozygous allele. 4.Ecology. Of, relating to, or being a species that is most characteristic of an ecological community and usually determines the presence, abundance, and type of other species. 5.Music. Relating to or based on the fifth tone of a diatonic scale. THIS IS NOT INTERCHANGABLE WITH dom·i·nate Pronunciation Key(d m -n t ) v. dom·i·nat·ed, dom·i·nat·ing, dom·i·nates v. tr. 1.To control, govern, or rule by superior authority or power: Successful leaders dominate events rather than react to them. 2.To exert a supreme, guiding influence on or over: Ambition dominated their lives. 3.To enjoy a commanding, controlling position in: a drug company that dominates the tranquilizer market. 4.To overlook from a height: a view from the cliffside chalet that dominates the valley. v. intr. 1.To have or exert strong authority or mastery. 2.To be situated in or occupy a position that is more elevated or decidedly superior to others. [Latin domin r , domin t-, to rule, from dominus, lord. See dem- in Indo-European Roots.] dom i·na tive adj. dom i·na tor n. Really. Dag, Yo. I swear I shall conduct a tri-state killing spree if I see one more "DOMINATE MASTER". ~Mollena  Mollena

AT FIRST I WONDERED IF THIS POST WAS ABOUT SOMETHING I WROTE. BUT THEN I DECIDED I WOULD HAVE AVOIDED USING THE TERM BECAUSE I WAS UNSURE HOW TO SPELL IT. MANY LEFT HANDED MALES HAVE TROUBLE WITH THINGS LIKE SPELLING BECAUSE BEING LEFT HANDED CAN SCREW UP THE WIREING BETWEEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE BRAIN. BEING HEARING IMPAIRED BUT TAUGHT TO SPELL PHONETICALLY CAN BE A PROBLEM TOO. WOMEN'S BRAINS ARE WIRED DIFFERENTLY AND THEY SEEM TO DO BETTER IN SPELLING. SPELLING AND GRAMMAR SKILLS ARE ONLY ONE PART OF IQ. SOME OF THE BRIGHTEST PEOPLE IN HISTORY HAD LEARNING DISABILITIES. MANY COLLEGE PROFESSOR CANNOT SPELL WELL. AND SOMETIMES EVEN A VERY BRIGHT PERSON LIKE YOURSELF TYPES "CHARE" WHEN THEY MIGHT MEAN SHARE. "DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE WHERE YOU ARE." T. Roosevelt

Funny! I got exactly the same score that you did, and I have exactly the same response to dominate/dominant. They aren't worth going to prison over. Trust me... orange is not my color.

As a note...I too am left-handed. And slightly dyslexic. FYI for the doubters ;-D xoxo ~Mollena Mollena

I was going to say something about the tie between being left handed and being dyslexic but I was sure I would misspell it and get shot. Signed, your sinister fan "DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE WHERE YOU ARE." T. Roosevelt

I think that there is some research that supports that theory...additionally, so few things are designed for lefties, the process of having to route brain activity differently might be part of the issue. Or, we're just more crazygonuts.  Mollena
