Why It’s Hard Being A Grammar Nazi
The only thing more annoying than having your grammar corrected is having to be the one constantly correcting everyone’s grammar.
1. It’s hard being a Grammar Nazi. For starters, people call you a Nazi.
2. Everywhere you go, you’re pained by the lack of respect for the English language.
4. Every mistake haunts you.
5. And you’re constantly shocked at how wrong everyone else is.
6. It’s like you can’t fully enjoy life unless everything is written correctly.
9. But it’s the small mistakes, the ones that only you see, that really hurt.
10. See, there’s a right way and a wrong way to write. You just care about getting things right.
12. But there are people putting apostrophes where there should be none.
14. People using the wrong “your.”
19. And let’s not even start with how bad things are on the Internet.
20. Every time you get on Facebook, you ask the Lord for strength to make it through.
21. Texting just about anyone is just as bad.
22. Grammar and spelling matter because if you get it wrong, it can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say.
33. But you know what the worst part is?
34. When we accidentally make a mistake. It happens to us too.
36. Still, can you guys please learn the difference between “they’re,” “their” and “there?”

georgef4 7 months agoIf you can operate a copy machine, send an email, or text, you should be able to learn how to spell. My ESL classes have taught me the correct way to spell words, and I’m not even an American. I find it sad when privileged assholes cannot even spell simple, common words. Yes, there are some legitimate cases of dyslexia and learning disabilities, but I am wiling to put money that 80 percent of the idiots who can’t differentiate between “your” and “You’re” are just lazy dummies and make me wonder how they even hold jobs.
And if it’s too shameful or embarrassing, be a fucking ADULT and get to a classroom! -

UBM 7 months agoWhy is it that in this country people who care about education, being educated or just being smart being ridiculed and even being called names like ” nerd” or “grammar Nazis”? Even though I am a foreigner and was never taught in an English speaking class and English is only my second language, I can’t believe that someone as an adult isn’t capable to write his own native language correctly. Specially such simple words in most cases. If I as a foreigner notice those mistakes , shouldn’t those native speakers do, too? Or are they just plain ignorant or stupid? If someone would have to correct my spelling in MY native language, I would be totally embarrassed and certainly would not call them names.

gcs3 7 months agoLanguage is in a constant state of flux. The only “correct” dialect/vernacular is that spoken by the wealthiest class/caste in a society. Classifying the other dialects as inferior/ignorant is just another method for the dominant to maintain superiority. Nazi is perhaps a more apt term than originally intended.

AbusementPark 7 months agoThis isn’t a matter of dialects or natural vernacular change. There is no consistency to the deviations from accepted practice. These are simply mistakes. Also, the “authorities” on what is grammatically correct are the academics and intellectuals, not the wealthy.

lauraborealis 7 months agoI…I just…I can’t. This entire post gave me heartburn. I’m the first to admit that the English language has some inexplicably fucked up rules, many of which I’m unaware of and/or totally breaking right now. But (you can start a sentence with “but” these days, right?) at the very least, please know the difference between “their”, “they’re” and “there”, “your” and “you’re.” *sad face*

theworryrock 7 months agoThe word “till” is used in a bunch of those posters which also really bothers me. ‘Til is the appropriate abbreviation because it’s just shortening “until” which is not “untill.” Gr!

Crocoduck 7 months ago
“Till” is a word unto its own. It is not short for “until.” From Dictionary.com: Till and until are both old in the language and are interchangeable as both prepositions and conjunctions: It rained till (or until ) nearly midnight. The savannah remained brown and lifeless until (or till ) the rains began. Till is not a shortened form of until and is not spelled ‘till. ‘Til is usually considered a spelling error, though widely used in advertising.
