Random musings on my Web sites

[tacit]

I spent some time curled up with a Mountain Dew and Google Analytics this morning, looking at the traffic on my Web sites and trying to figure out better ways to try to make money from them. My most popular site, xeromag.com, is mostly a hobby site; the ad revenue I make from it barely pays for bandwidth (and often doesn't even do that). My BDSM

I'll admit, I haven't gone to xeromag.com, but now my interest in piqued.

24.7% of the hits on your BDSM sections are from kinky people like me sending other people over there after they ask "What is BDSM?" and "Give me some good basic ideas for trying out BDSM."

Can you add something (in your FAQ or in the grammar cheat-sheet along with the other mispronunciation entries) that "dom" and "domme" are homophones? That the -mme ending, derived from "femme", doesn't change the pronunciation to "dommay" anymore than "femme" is pronounced "femmay"?

Thank you.

Yeah, you'd have to be careful with a frozen dildo. "I triple-dog dare you!"

[6_bleen_7]

Oh yeah-also, along the lines of "champing at the bit," you can add "my old stamping ground" (not "my old stomping ground").

[gipsieee]

Perhaps the person referring to their old stamping ground was prone to temper tantrums?

Or is a stamp collector?

You know, while "peaked my interest" might not be the traditional phrase, it's not actually incorrect.
The transitive verb usage of "peak" means to reach a maximum. The verb usage of "pique" means to excite or agitate something. I'd argue that the two are sufficiently close in meaning for either to be useable in this context.

I have often thought the same thing about the 'piqued/peaked' thing.
