And anyway, 'Grammar Gestapo' sounds better.
I'm LOLing at some of these comments. Is 'pedantic' really appropriate for an adult who knows grade-school level grammar?

i vote in favour of 'pedantic obnoxious little shit nobody can stand to be around' instead

Oh yeah? Well screw you then. Stop spamming.

I'm just a pedantic nerd. Reserve the phrase "Grammar Nazi" for people like the Master

Ha ha!
Sometimes you feel like that....
Other times you find yourself doing the corrections.

On forums I often find myself posting: "Let him who is without typo cast the first post."

Let *he who is...
Sorry. Given the topic, I felt it was appropriate.

I call myself a grammar whore instead. I'm not sure it's any better.

This must be a part of the whole cold war gramspiracy

I must confess, I can be a grammar nazi. o^o; But-but, I only use my power for good!
The only time I correct is when a kid say something like "I drunken it" or something. It is wrong. They must know. O-o Especially when they're old enough to KNOW basic grammar.
Argh. Drives me crazy.

The point is not not to point out incorrect grammar but how lightly the term "nazi" is used.

Well, I always thought "Grammar Nazi" was meant as an insult towards someone who obsessively corrects grammar and spelling, so it always confused me when people call /themselves/ Grammar Nazis. It's like saying "Yeah, I'm a total whore!

I know just what you mean, I've always found the term kind of offensive.

I'm like this myself, though I do prefer the term "grammar police" or even "grammar freak". Because I have a friend who wouldn't mind treating me to this kind of lecture if I used the term.

I suggest using "grammar police" instead. A much less horrible term.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I like grammar.
I don't like the term. |D
May I share this on tumblr? I know you have it enabled but I'm a terribly awkward person and feel more awkward not asking. |D

I prefer Grammar Overlord, use the wrong grammar and spend the rest of your days digging in the mines for colons, semicolons and the occasional exclamation point

Something like the mistake in the comic isn't too bad. I hate it when I find online posts that just scream "Shoot me! I'm full of grammar and spelling mistakes, and totally lack punctuation. Just shoot me now!"
OTL!!! I understand the need to use short forms and acronyms for convenience, but do they have to butcher everything? >A>;;

More like spelling-Nazi.... I think part of the problem is the arrogant "I can spell/use grammar better than you, and I love to show it off" attitude the grammar-nazi has.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah I've always hated the term... or more like... I can't stand when people add Nazi to the end of everything.
Anyway! Punctuation wise~ I prefer the term "Pilkunnussija" over "Grammar Nazi".

I'm not terribly fond of that term myself, but I am a bit overzealous when it comes to grammar and the like. XD Something I think a lot of people (including myself) could work on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Still, could be worse. At least it's not the Grammar Taliban.
"This time its-" *ka-frikkin'-BOOM!!*

I want to throw this cartoon at the next "grammar nazis" I meet.

"Nazi" is a proper noun, meaning it has to be capitalized.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
... "Nazis" needs to be capitalized.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
isn't that more a spelling thing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
They both fall under the same category. Besides "Grammar Nazis" sounds better than "Spelling Nazis."
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
No, capitalization falls under the category of grammar.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes, but it's still something a nit-picky person would pick on. o3o~ Besides that, i think DerpyForce's original point / joke is kind of sprialling down into a pit of nothing now... >A>;;

I think I want this to be over too.

*pat pats* And that... is precisely why you never question a joke. >w>; At least not in a public place. Once you cross examine it, it's just not funny anymore. D: Plus, you'd be opening a can of worms.

lol. i believe this applies to me and my brother.......XD

I've never been fond of the term either. I know it's meant to imply that the person is strict with their grammar (because the Nazis were some strict motherfuckers), but really it's just annoying.
Using the term "Nazi" implies that the people who care about proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation, are bad. The term literally demonizes intelligence by basically saying "Anyone who calls me out on my ignorance or my mistakes is an asshole".

I love my spelling and punctuation nice, and maybe I could relate to that, Phantasim-Fan. National Punctuation Day , anyone?
