Just learn how to fucking write and spell and stop calling me a NAZI.

I’m sick of people calling other people “grammar nazi” or “spelling nazi.” To my knowledge, nobody has yet proposed rounding up and gassing bad spellers. If you are going to post in a public forum, learn how to write in the English language instead of writing like a moron and then getting all defensive if anyone corrects you. It shows that you prefer to STAY a moron, if you can’t take a little constructive criticism.

If it had been, you’d be ranting about spelling and grammar police, not nazis!
:smiley:

Well I did, it was buried on page 5326 of a health reform bill and I expect it to pass any day.

It’s got my vote.

Are we allowed to keep calling Coldfire a nazi so long as we don’t preface it with “spelling” or “grammar”?

Does this exclude those who don’t use proper capital’s in user’s names? Look to the left of your OP. :smiley: Just fuckin’ with ya though.

I would never call you a spelling nazi. Your spelling sucks ass.

Does this rant mean that eli_the_fanatic is a nazi nazi or an anti-nazi nazi?

Where has he misspelled a word?:confused:

Eli, I agree with you on that point, but some people are a lot more focused on the subject under debate and don’t really care about mechanics.* Also, you split an infinitive in your thread title…:smiley:

*-No, I don’t mean me. Just some people here.

Can I be a grammer Commissar?

That’s grammar. Off to the chambers with you.

Some of have dyslexia or other disorders that may affect grammar mechanics. Grammar is a minor issue unless it is absolutely unreadable.

Hear hear DeaganTheWolf

You’re right.

(hangs self with belt)

I propose the formation of a new ideology Grammar Communism.

As the first of the newfound Grammar Commies, I’d like to welcome my brothers in the revolutionary struggle against Grammar Fascist aggressors like eli_the_fanatic.

Our philosophy is simple: Whenever you see a grammatical or spelling error, it is your duty as a good Grammar Marxist to make the very same mistake in order to keep anyone from having an unfair advantage in command of the English language.

So, who’s in?

Proofreading is a luxury of the petty bourgeois—I’m in CaptBushido!!

Norman Mailer uses split infinitives. All Grammar Nazis may stand down.

CaptBushido, it’s funny when you don’t make sense! erislover must think so too!
eli - In the first place… How come your hanging out with people who cant spell right, but Flame U, cuz they don’t know what their really upsett at?

<shudder>

Mr. B: Yeah, that’s what they said about real Communism, too, and see what happened?

It… uh… failed miserably because it didn’t make sense as an economic model…

But, who cares! They had a good run, and so will we, only this time, I swear I will drop the bomb!

For clarity’s sake, I am not complaining about misspelling or bad grammar (although some people come off as third graders) but against the specific Nazi analogy (which was originally NAZI, it is an acronym) which I find tiresome and excessive.

I support a limited spelling socialism where some things are controlled by the government, like the use of apostrophes, but other things are left to the invisible hand of the spelling marketplace, like the use of hyphens.
