Fandom Rant: Come is NOT a three letter word

[themostepotente]

begin rant

...


Come is NOT a three letter word.

It never has been.

It never will be.

It is neither sexy nor hot spelled with three letters.

It makes the author luk liek n ilitarit fule.

I would rather squeeze out a gigantic shit sideways after having a broken glass and tabasco enema than look at the word 'come' spelled C-U-M.

People -- just fucking DON'T.

Hahaha oh man, your rants are so refreshing. Not unlike a bucket of ice water to the crotch. :D

*chuckles* I'm like the Bob Hope of Fandom. I try and entertain the troops, y'know? *G*

It really wasn't a mental image I wanted myself. And I wrote it :P

You get the prize for most gross thing you'd rather be doing...ick.

*hugs anyhow*

And I so agree. Cum just makes me squick like a squick thing. Eww.

Oooh, what's my prize for being a gross bitch? *G*

Um, bags of bad porn?

I vote for you! :D

The three-letter variant just reeks of nifty.org.

Or fanfiction.net :P

No applause, just money :-)

C-U-M - Always tends to invoke an image of giggling in primary school when I see it spelt like that. Not a good thing when reading slash.

"luk liek n ilitarit fule" Hahaha! Wonderful spelling.

Huked on foniks werked fer me :-)

you're sho grate!!1!1!

i completely agree. why the word even exists in modern-day language is beyond me.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I wish I had a straight answer for you other than its Latin roots.

[miss-serpentine.livejournal.com]

I agree wholeheartedly. I actually had to defend my spelling of "come" once against a RL friend who insisted I spell it "cum". It just sounds harsh and cheap to me for some reason.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

It looks awkward to me now, too.

[lore]

So, help, then, because this has really been bothering me lately: What about precum? Or precome? Or pre-come? Please not pre-cum...*shudder*

Because, while I don't believe every man just leaks it like a hydrant, I believe it can be coached out of most and I would like to know how to properly spell it. Otherwise, I am going to have to use "essence" and that's just Not Right.

Word to the cum!

love, lore

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

It's 'pre-come' with a hypen as far as I know.

Mmm, icon love! Love his package. *G*

[lore]

Oh, who doesn't?! Thank you for that spelling help. I'd been writing around it for a while, but it was becoming annoying. <333
