RE: Quick pet peeve
I sort of see/know/get what you're saying.

How about composite verbs. You good with those?

Get it right.

I shudder to think what kind of sites you must hang out at for this to be an issue.

Better. When splitting composite nouns, it not only looks silly, it often also has a nonsensical or completely different meaning.

Okay that might be pretty funny .. if it came from someone in jest who knows Ben well enough for him not to take offense.  But you alphy, I never know.  But kudos for the humor if that is all you intended.

I assumed it was a joke. I laughed loud enough for people in the office to hear. They asked me what i found so funny... Panic


...which brings me nicely on to Rob's points. As someone who has compassion for people in difficult circumstances, I also feel bad for paedophiles who control their urges. Given that many individuals have a wide range of sexual orientation and behaviour, it's possible that some people have paedophilic urges amongst others. In those cases, it may be possible to channel/supress harmful urges by satisfying others. Otherwise I can't think of an outlet, other than private therapy, where these urges might be expressed, intellectually, without suffering profound harm.


BTW, thanks for the corrections re. podophilia, people. Peeve updated.

No, you have that backwards.

Anyway, a more applicable pet peeve for this site would be diety.
