PSA: dominate is a verb

For those who spend time on fetlife or other forms of non-blog kink-related electronic interactions you have probably seen a rise in the number of people who misuse the word dominate.

“I am a dominate.”
“I am looking for a dominate.”

When I read this I want to stab myself in the face while setting my hair on fire.

Dominate is a verb. To dominate. You dominate. They dominate. They dominated.

Dominant is traditionally an adjective. They are dominant.  They were dominant.

Dominant in the kink world is also a noun. They are a dominant.  They were a dominant.

Please, when you see this out in the wild, do your part to help fight against unliteracy:P
