@Darren I heard the one about the grammar fetish, but I had a hard time believing that the caller wasn't just making that up. I try not to judge, to each their own and all that, but I mean, really? Turned on by grammar? Haven't heard the one about the long word yet, but again, can't say I understand that really... but then again, I like it when guys talk nerdy...

@Jorge - Of course I make typos (in my second to last draft of my thesis, I had one reference listed as being published in the year 1000!), but I fully expect that people will make fun of me for it!

It's a good thing you never make any typos, eh? ;)

Have you listened to any of the recent Savage Love podcasts (er, they're obviously R-rated). A few weeks ago Dan discovered a new and apparently legitimate fetish: grammar. The caller became aroused when bad grammar, and wanted her love to say sentences with bad grammar during sex.

Then subsequently there was a call from a woman who got turned on by long and complicated words, like, I don't know, sesquipidilian.

It's something you should consider listening to.

Heh.
