I think it just started (and is still used) as an insult, but people are trying to take the sting out of it. Personally, I am just a proud member of the Grammar Police. :3

i never used that, i thought the right/more common term was grammar police, but the term grammar nazi never bugged me. any more than the other terms used, but I knew someone in school whos grandad was a nazi(ex, i mean, he hadnt been/hasnt supported it since the end of the war) i think that affected the way i see nazis. i see them as people who blind themselves to problems with their country in an effort to have the country gain strength more than i see them as people trying to make everything the way they see as right and get rid of people they see as wrong, although both were done so maybe even people who dont get uneasy about the term should keep that in mind for the sake of people who do.

I always preferred the term "grammar cop" instead. Very cute comic!

I think "grammar police" or "grammar knight" sounds better.

Honestly, when I'm writing online, I don't mind it if someone is my living spellchecker / proofreader, even when I make a comment. They do my work for me! lol
However, I hate hate hate that term. Grammer Nazi. I've chewed out more than a few people before for using that. Nazi's were evil bastards to be nice about it. Being so light and calling a living proofreader a 'Grammar' Nazi just makes me want to go up to the person and smack them across the head with a rolled up newspaper. you know... one of those really THICK ones. That'd hurt a LOT.
*SWACK* OUCH!!

She doesn't make a very good Grammar Nazi. If what you're referring to is an inanimate object, its is the correct phrasing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh? That's a new one. But she did cut him off early, it could've been right depending on what was going to come next, "its going to be awesome" - wrong, "its (the comic show's) ratings are going to be high" - correct.

Yeah, you got a point there. Forgot to factor in that part.

i dislike grammar nazis...they always troll me l:l
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
especially when they go and say crap like "you should've capitalized the I you put to represent you in your sentence..." like... when they nitpick like that, it bugs everyone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
That's not really a nitpick. It makes you look like a stupid ten year old if you can't capitalize your gott damn "I"s. Come on, it takes like, five seconds!

I know, it bugs me too...

anyone making fun of the nazi should be teleported back to the second worldwar, as a devout jewish member,
then we'll see how funny they think it really is...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and the sad thing is... they were doing exactly what their agenda was... until they began to lose the war... then they figured they needed a scapegoat for the whole thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah fight like a bitch, lose like a bitch
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
however their original agenda was to make Germany powerful again, and they suceeded... until they attacked russia.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, im glad they attacked russia like a bunch of headless idiots,
if not i'd be speaking german(i'm dutch) and i hate that language, it's so ... ugly, unlike english or latin
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well... they weren't completely evil... they just fucked up their excuse... and blamed the wrong people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i guess it depends on what you think is evil as a person, personally i find it kind of evil if an entire nation stands behind the genocide of millions of people, but thats just my opinion really...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that part i do consider wrong, however, their initial enhancement to Germany in order to make it a stronger country was a good deed...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes and no, in a way, i believe hitler was planning on eradicating the jewish population in germany all along, he just used the financial state among other things as an initial way to get the majority of votes, and then he started to point the finger towards the jewish

Yeah, I don't really like that term either. I always just say I'm a grammar-obsessed person who feels the need to fix grammatical errors.
That, however, isn't as short and to the point. Hmm...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
See, that's why I hate that term. Actually, I hate pretty much anything that compares one group of people to Nazis. Is that one group of people committing genocide? No? Then there is no reason to compare them to Nazis, unless you're trying to make light of what they did to people and/or use the worst insult possible.

I thoroughly dislike the term "grammar Nazi." While other terms are better, the problem is those other terms have yet to catch on and are unlikely to. I also dislike how some people think they know how to correct another's grammar, but they often don't know more than a few rules of grammar. I like the idea of your comic, but I think a large number of people misunderstand that this comic is arguing about the use of the term "grammar Nazi" rather than proper usage of grammar. The comments here are pitiful and lack proper grammar- even those that try to pass themselves off as grammar lovers. I hope future comment makers think before they add a comment.
N.B.: Apostrophes are used according to American rules. Nazi is capitalized as it is a proper noun, but grammar is not because it is not a proper adjective. Since "grammar Nazi" is a slang term and I've yet to hear of it being admitted to any respected dictionary, I do not consider it a proper noun when its individual words are used in conjunction.
