Grammar Nazis

As an internet “writer” (I do use the term very lightly) I feel that I know a thing or two about the English language. However, apparently some people think that I don’t. In my last article ( I pulled down, which in hindsight was a HUGE mistake. Sorry Ulti.) Most comments were not about the message I was trying to put out, but rather the grammar I was using. Now, I know you people like to feel good about yourselves, but to finish an article that you worked over 1 hour on, only to hear the internet Gestapo chanting “Nein! Nein! Nein! Es gibt zu viele Fehler, du dummkopf!” Is just slightly frustrating.

And by slightly frustrating, I mean INFURIATING! Now, don’t get me wrong. It’s your right to be a pretentious dick if you want, but don’t start a flame war in my (and by mine, I mean Ulti’s) comment section! I wouldn’t like to meet the person who has never made a grammatical error in his life. That would be a scary thing. I just imagine him with a tweed jacket and a pipe. And horned-rimmed glasses. But, anyway, I’m getting off track.

But why is grammar-Nazism a bad thing? Well, for one, it distracts from the message that the writer is trying to put out. It’s like a prostitute. Sure she may have some scars. And she might be a few hundred pounds overweight. But focusing on those small, inconsequential things distract from the real meaning, the fact that she is a woman willing to have sexual relations with you. And, my friend, if your reading this blog, that’s the best you can hope for.

Heil Spell check,
