Because in many instances grammar Nazis are correcting grammar when it's wildly inappropriate for the medium of communication. Instant messages, in game typing, etc. These are not places where a missing bit of punctuation or capital makes any difference in the message being communicated. When you get to more formal mediums such as literature, the ideas communicated require a higher grasp of language because more complex meaning is so altered by minute changes in language, therefore rendering grammar greatly important to the message being communicated. In forums you have lots of time to watch what you write so there is no excuse for horrible atrocities of this nature. In my experience a lot of "grammar-Nazis" just use grammar as an excuse to be aggressive when they get shot down in-game, try to talk shit, and make an ass of themselves. There's a time and place for grammar. In game, with messages no longer than a sentence, is not the place, and when people think it is that's when it's time to pull out the "grammar-Nazis: feeling superior in the only way they can" label; because it's not people who promote good grammar who are grammar-Nazis it's people who act like good grammar is the gap between the intellectual and the retard. In other words a grammar Nazi believes in *The master race of grammatically anal retentive individuals who believe that by proper grammar they are inherently superior to everyone who uses language with respect to context and medium.* /rantLawyer105 said:As above. And spend more time in language classes too.
Just because this is the interlolwebz (or whatever) is no excuse to perform inhumane experiments on the poor, inoffensive language.
Out of curiosity... why are people that promote good spelling and grammar called "Grammar-Nazi's"? Surely it's the people that mangle, abuse, maim, murder, poison and otherwise commit genocide on a language that should be called *language*-Nazi's ?

A LOT of educational games.
So many educational games your computer can handle.
Calumon is one of the only Digimon that doesn't Digivolve. Some times when they do, the personality changes. Sometimes they stay the same. Calumon, as I said, does not Digivolve (Or Evolve if you only watch the Japanese version, but if you keep saying that, then people say it's a Pokémon rip off and... wait, that's not what I'm meant to be talking about. Damn these never ending brackets!)(Oh wow, they did end... wait, DAMN IT!) Ummm, too much bracket text so you probably don't know what is going on anymore, so to answer your question in short. Sometimes, but Calumon does not Digivolve.Akalistos said:Dear JackJack and Calumon said:Calumon: Oh... OOOHHHHH... Sorry, I couldn't read what he put. Maybe the movie... I KNOW!
