DOTING?!?! Her command of English vocabulary isn’t exactly writerly. Albie Quirky July 24, 2012 at 3:58 pm What’s off about that? Tremendous Liar; Donkey Repugnant July 24, 2012 at 4:58 pm It seems awk to me because (in my head, at least) doting can be a general character trait only for olds (dotage). Younger people can dote only selectively. Donkey used it like it’s a general character trait. Albie Quirky July 24, 2012 at 5:38 pm Agree that “Enjoys doting on me” or something would have been a better way for her to express it, but of course she is a shitty writer and a stupid person. How Brayella Got Her Hoove Back July 24, 2012 at 7:59 pm “Doting” is not an stage-of-life trait … “Dotage”, on the other hand … doting Verb: Be extremely and uncritically fond of: “she doted on her two young children”; “she was spoiled outrageously by her doting father”. dotage Noun: The period of life in which a person is old and weak: “you could live here and look after me in my dotage”. The state of having the intellect impaired, esp. through old age; senility.
