Grammar meta-rant: Ranting does not make you a Nazi

Don’t quote me but I think he just called you a shithead.

Yeah, I think so too.

(Whoops! I quoted you! Darn! goes off to shoot self in bunker, but can’t find bunker so shoots self in foot instead)

What, you thought I didn’t examine my correcting post letter by letter to ensure I wouldn’t fall prey to Gaudere’s Law?

Try the American Heritage Dictionary at Yahoo. I am vindicated.

Bitteschön, meine Liebchen!

Ruhe.

Perhaps.

But i’m afraid that in my own little hierarchy of dictionaries, the full versions of the OED and M-W rank a little higher than the Yahoo version of the AHD.

I realize that this choice is a subjective one, but i’m happy with it.

Besides, you have to hyphenate non when it’s modifying a proper noun. “noncompliant” versus “non-Grammar Nazi”
