Should proper grammatical usage be ignored for stylistic effect?
Poll Question:

The use of capitalization in D/s (Dominant/submissive) relationships is often used to denote authority versus subordination. Thus, a Dominant personality would have their name capitalized (John Smith, Master/Mistress, etc.), while a submissive personality would have their name intentionally left in lowercase (john smith, slave, etc.).

The purpose of this poll is to find out what you think about this practice as it relates to proper grammar. Is it okay to write, "Mistress Sasha had her new slave. john smith was hers forever." Or, if you're writing something in the first person perspective as a submissive, is it okay to lowercase the "i" pronoun (i.e. "Mistress Sasha had her new slave. i was hers forever.")?

Is it okay to intentionally intentionally violate the rules of proper grammar for stylistic effect or lifestyle naming conventions?
