I hate Grammar Nazis

I'm a grammar Nazi, I won't lie. =/ When people message me on a messenger or MySpace with a message like:
"hi do u want 2 chat wit me sumtime???"

I just ignore them.

My grammar isn't perfect, but, I've just gotten into the habit of typing in as close to proper English as possible.
 
If you were a true nazi, you'd put them in a camp and beat them to death until they bled and learned how to spell properly.

You're no nazi. :monster:
 
I wouldn't call myself a grammar nazi (and why use such a loaded word in the first place?) but I do try to fix my errors, although that is also due in part with the fact that a lot of my classes are based on writing so it's kind of drilled into my head.

I'm not used to short-hands like "4u" and "brb" so I can't help but write it all out, even if it slows down the chat speed.

hahaha isnt it like really eraly for you? perhaps its making you lose your mind?
 
Well, I am a Grammar Nazi, but I know when to hold my tongue. It's gotten to the point where I can screw around with people about the grammar, and not be serious. Like saying "Ack! I am drowning in a sea of typos!" where the other person has made a veritable ocean of typos. I'm not being serious, I'm only kidding around, but it still causes them to correct their grammar sometimes.

As the RP Mod, I highly encourage good grammar. Julius is just one example of someone who didn't have great grammar (Yes, Julius, I remember your posts from the Original Land of Dragons :P) and who is doing IMMENSELY well. When you factor in the fact that English is not his first language, we've all gotta give him his props. I mean, seriously, I don't think I'll ever learn French the way this guy learned English.

Now, as per the 1337 speek... I don't mind it on MSN or the shoutbox, or things like that, unless it is totally illegible or irrelevant, or unneeded. If it's fr a joke, like "ZOMG lolz wtf are you doing ROFL," I'm cool with it.

Being a grammar nazi isn't a bad thing, you just need to know when to be one and when not to.

You know...now that you put it that way.
I believe it's time for some plotting. ;D
 
Yes, I am a grammar nazi with myself. I apply the rules to have good grammar as much as my limited mastery of the grammatical rules of English and the minimum vocabulary that I have allows to do so.

Yes, my grammar did suck in the beginning. :wacky:
 
I can't say I can go so far as to say I'm a grammar Nazi, per se. However, I do tend to think that good grammar and intelligence typically go hand in hand. I feel that some people who don't use proper grammar are simply too lazy to do so. I prefer proper grammar to leet or improper grammar. English is a true language, whereas leet and improper grammar are not. Therefore, it is not only difficult to understand sometimes, but annoying.

There are many people who I've met online who are of sufficient age and education to be able to use basic spelling and grammar rules. However, they don't. When I speak to them further to try to find something of their true character and cast aside my initial impression that they are simply lazy or stupid, I typically find that my first impression is actually accurate. I don't like thinking of someone as stupid based solely on their typing ability. However, if the things they say are equally as mundane and irritating as their writing, I'm stuck with that impression. There's a time and place for English. I don't always use English, but online I feel it is important.

Not like it takes a lot of effort to understand n00b, anyway. Most of them are just acronyms.

I still don't know what zomg means, surprisingly:monster:
