*Grammar.

Guilty! And I prefer the term Grammar Nazi.


I have 2 suggestions: (1) 'Stickler':

Oxford English Dictionary wrote:
4. With for: One who contends for, pertinaciously supports, or advocates (a cause, principle, person, party, etc.); one who insists on or stands out for (something established by rule or custom, a form, ceremony, etc.).


and (2) 'pedant':

Oxford English Dictionary wrote:
2. A person who excessively reveres or parades academic learning or technical knowledge, often without discrimination or practical judgement. Hence also: one who is excessively concerned with accuracy over trifling details of knowledge, or who insists on strict adherence to formal rules or literal meaning.


I think I prefer 'Stickler'. Smile

It honestly doesn't matter that much to me. If I'm on an online forum such as this one, then I tend to not use as many short cuts. So now I know to avoid talking like: ZOMG ITZ DA PARTAY POLEEZ! GEET 2 ZA CHOPPAH! ZOMG LOL IMA TALK LIEK A N00BL337. IMA GB2 MYSPACE NOW KAY? I HAEV CAPLOX ON, M I KEWL YET?
But I understand you have to rant once in a while. IT'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT MAXUS! Very Happy

ok, guys. This has gotten way out of control. Bottom line is, try to use good grammar and spelling. It is not "funny" to type in strange ways. Your grammar does not have to be perfect but dont use highly run on sentences.

Locked for going too far.
