Can I be the Nazi Nazi??

Someone got to keep all these newly appointed Nazis in line, just in case they start exhibiting unacceptable liberal tendencies. I’m willing to police a high quality of Naziness across all disciplines.

Course, I’d need a Nazi Czar to report to.

If you’re googling the word “bugger,” I think I know why you’re getting the wrong type of story.

Seriously, don’t we have enough hijacks in threads without adding a Grammar Nazi to the mix? Instead of devolving into discussions of GW’s virtues and flaws, threads would all eventually devolve into discussions of the relative merits of Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style vs. the MLA Handbook, The Chicago Tribune Stylebook, etc.

Sounds like a thankless task.

Well, sort of, but now it’s been renamed to “a global struggle against the enemies of correct language usage”.
