Grammar Nazis Suck... That Is All

Postby Strebedia » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:35 am

Grammar nazis are invariably as bigoted and ignorant as their historical namesakes. English, thank God, has no government institution to regulate how we should and should not speak. English grammar is our common heritage, it belongs to everyone of us to use in any way we see fit. There is so much more I'd like to say about this topic, but suffice it to say, Grammar Nazis do indeed suck!

I support grammar nazis in their persecution of those with poor linguistic hygiene, especially in the case of monolingual, native English speakers over the age of 18. There's no excuse for writing like a retarded child in the only language you know, if you're literate, unless you actually are a retarded child.

It is topics like these that clearly illustrate the necessity of an English Academy, modeled on the Académie français, to protect and preserve the English language from further degeneration at the hands of the likes of the poster of this topic.

I disagree. It's polite on a discussion forum to endeavour to your greatest ability to make your comments readily comprehensible. If you don't get the basics right it shows a lack of respect and damages your credibility. Folks are entitled to mock, sorry.
