Grammar Nazis, who cares!! !

Post Reply New Topic

Little things aren't a big deal to me. What annoys me is when people "tlk lyk dis". It makes them look really stupid.

Another thing that peeves me is people who call themselves 'writers' but have no grammar skills at all, are too lazy to use spellcheck, and have the nerve to spew their sloppy letters all over the place!

You kidding me? You're asking "who cares" about exactitude in a particular field in a forum about autism?!?

HA!

It's more of an impulse to be a grammar nazi for me, but I can, and will, hold it back

I agree! People who think of themselves as
grammar police is a way of feeding their own egos.

Or we can't tell what the heck someone is trying to tell us.

Most of the times I have ran into a Grammar Nazi, scratch that, ALL of the time I ran into a Grammar Nazi, it was because I used "whom" incorrectly, or had a run-on sentence, or because I used grammEr instead of grammAr.

Clarity is a quickly thought up excuse to act like a jerk around people... I am sure even members of the Dyslexic community would be able to understand "that is who?" or "5 items or less." or even the "lack of clarity" involved in adding a period AFTER a quotation as opposed to before it.

Excuses, excuses...

It's Levi-O-sa! Not Levio-SA!

If someone's not very good with grammar, does it really matter? Not particularly. Maybe you're not very good at math. Or music. Or painting. Or social interaction?

Getting pushy with someone and correcting them for every comma that's out of place when they're not naturally good at writing is asinine. It's like expecting someone with Asperger's to know the proverbial "social commas" to every human situation. And gosh darn it... being critical when they screw up is the only way they're going to 'learn'!

I find that most grammar Nazis are people with double standards. And that's bullschlaka.

That doesn't bug me in the least. I only get annoyed if it's literally hard to read.

Text walls, no punctuation at ALL, that sort of thing.

As you can probably tell I'm no master of the language myself. I just get annoyed when someone expects a response to something that is barely legible.

I HATE walls of text! they are excruciatingly difficult to read! That and text speak, slang, etc.

I find people who care too much about grammar sexy.

I imagine their mums care about them.

Am I the only one here who thinks of Hermione Granger,
from the first Harry Potter movie as a grammar cop?
