Dominate

I'm sure this does not belong on the sports/news board.
It could fit on the journalism board, but probably not.
So here it is.
Not totally trying to be the grammar police here, and I didn't want to slam the person who put me over the top on another thread here. But I just couldn't take it after seeing one more person use the word "dominate" as if it were an adjective.
Dominate is a verb.
Dominant is the adjective.
Between team message boards and e-mails from readers and even the erudite folks on these pages, I bet I see the word "dominate" used as an adjective 22 times a month. This has driven me to do some terrible things, including starting this particular thread. That is all.
(If you'd like to chime in with your own favorite grammar nails-on-a-chalkboard moments, feel free. Let's vent!)

 

Methinks this will not end well.

 

Give me a usage.... I can't even imagine what you are writing about.

 

"Kobe is the most dominate player in the NBA."

 

North Carolina is a dominate team.

Kevin Garnett is a dominate player.

Not kidding here. I see this stuff all the time.

 

I find seeing people spell "definately" instead of "definitely" to be particularly grating.

Oh, and seeing people spell the word ludicrous the way the rapper spells his stage name? That's beyond nails on a chalkboard in my book.

 

I've seen it used that way quite a bit lately too. I just figure people get to typing too fast and don't realize it.

 

So... we are talking about people who cannot spell.

I had never seen that in copy before today.

 

"Apple's--$2.00 a pound".

 

Srsly? Never seen it.

And I thought that/which errors were bad.

 

Rediculous.

 

unpossible.
