Any of you Grammar Nazis? Because I definitely am.

I just hate when people use leetspeek/n00bspeak/sms style typing when your talking. It makes them seem like they have down, :\.

Ie....

"omg r u lvl 30? Wut r u talkin about? lol noob."

[Cthulhu]

I was, but suddenly I'm not.

[Wiles]

One of my biggest pet peeves is people that are on a crusade against bad spelling.
Spelling zealots who proselytize the values of good grammar and punctuation really get my goat.
Spelling != Intelligence.

That being said, I don't really care for l33t or chat-speak either.

I find the errors in your post deliciously ironic, intentional or not.

I took an Intro to Linguistics class and now I'm not one in fact now I'm a Grammar Nazi Nazi

[Cheeetar]

Everybody except those who chatspeak hate chatspeak.

Spelling != Intelligence.

perhaps, but there is a surprising correlation between the two

If someone wanted to make me fly into an uncontrollable rage, they just need to show me lots of written material with lots of apostrophe errors. Call me psychotic, but nothing pushes my buttons like a misplaced apostrophe. I freely admit that I am the biggest grammar snob to ever lurk the dark corners of the earth.

So tell me, which one are you a fan of:
Ross's (due to the fact that "Ross" is singular)
Ross' (due to the fact that "Ross" ends in s)

BEGONE, FIEND!!! SMITE EVIL!!!

[Willfor]

As someone who would like to write novels for a living, you would think that I would be behind accurate grammar.

Enjoy would things you because mixing wrong, actually be messing I up.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Grammatically correct sentence, good example of what a maze English can be.

I admit, some veins start pumping when people butcher English, but I'm no Nazi.

[Willfor]

I've reached a rather zen place. If I can understand someone, they've done their job. I'm not paying them to be perfect little drones of the english language, and in turn, I don't expect perfection. ty fur ze can hasings of understandzes, because I rather enjoy having fun on the internet rather popping a blood vessel every time I see someone butchering my precious.
