Quoted from the OP:
DL: Iowa. This one really isn't up for debate, Iowa is just so dominate and deep up front. Klug, Binns, Ballad, and Clayborn will all be all big ten at the end of the year and are all extremely disruptive. I think our D Line is improved from last years D Line but still is one of the weak points of the team. Rump and Johnson are nice players but aren't world beaters and will struggle at times. Parker and Neal have a lot of experience but are very small and will get worn down come big 12 play.
The word in bold bugs me very much. Why do people say, or write "dominate" when they really mean
dominant?
Def:
Dominate, DAH-min-ate (vb): to rule, or control; to have a commanding position, or controlling power over.
Def:
Dominant, DAH-min-ant (adj): commanding, controlling, or prevailing over all others <the
dominant culture>; very important, powerful, or successful <a
dominant theme> <a
dominant industry>.
Iowa's d-line
dominates its opposition.
Iowa's d-line is one of the most
dominant in the Big Ten conference.
Please understand that
dominate is a verb describing the act of control, or mastery over an object; and
dominant is an adjective describing the status of the subject.
Let's get this right people! :skeptical:
