Dear Multitude of Web Forum Pagans:

For Pete's sake, stop- or at least greatly reduce your use of the phrase "drawn to". You are NOT inexplicably and mystically "drawn to" every little thing that interests you. Seriously. If nothing else, the phrase just gets used FAR TOO MUCH. I should NOT be visiting a forum and finding fifty threads with questions like "What element are you drawn to?" "What tarot card are you drawn to?" "What books are you drawn to?" "What color clothing are you drawn to?" Find some other way to express the sentiment.

Sincerely,

Fuego

Since I'm on Teh Forum (the one I'm sure you're referring to, the only one I'm active on) I often use the vocab found there-- usually unconsciously. When give advice I tend to phrase it in a way that they might understand/accept as well. I have noticed the same thing with "drawn to" there...though it hasn't really annoyed me severely.

Actually...I wasn't referring so much to MW, I see it there a lot less than many others...I do frequent quite a few web fora.

Oh, I see. I tend to stick to MW so I guess I wouldn't know how bad a problem it really is. I see it more in the posts there (MW) than the thread titles, but I do see it often.
