XD Isn't it kinda an oxymoron for there to be Grammar Nazis on the internet?? I mean, the internet mass produces bad grammar at 15 fails a second ... give or take

Grammar Police, or Grammar Cop is what I'd go with, if needed. I blame the Soup Nazi for all this silliness...he started it.

Ok, I've gotta say, that's a really awesome comeback to that.
Though really, I guess that term wasn't originally meant to be a positive one.
Your totally flipping out in the last page cracked me up too.

Were doing an Anne Frank unit in school, and we just watched a 'disney' movie describing what happened after anne got caught. It was extremely disturbing!

We need a grammar America to save the Grammar Jews

Not until Grammar Japan blows Grammar Pearl Harbor off the map and makes it Grammar America's problem XD

And then Grammar America grammar nukes the fuck out of Grammar Hiroshima and Grammar Nagasaki, thus bringing an end to Grammar War II. All in the history books, people.

Have they dismantled the Berlin Grammar Wall yet?? Probably not, now that I think about it XD Where is Grammar Reagan to give the famous line "Mr. Spellcheck, tear down this wall"?? 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL that's true. It was actually supposed to be a Code Geass reference but it works for that too.
One of my friends actually thinks I was a kamikaze pilot in a previous life after I traumatized her with my atrocious driving.

obscure Asian driver reference o.o That sounds scary but amusing XD

The format distinctly reminds me of one particular episode of "Why I Hate Webcomics".......

I was waiting for that. ;D Except a straw man only applies when there is misrepresentation of an argument. This is more of an exchange than an argument and it's kinda hard to misrepresent "Nazis are bad" in this context. Though it's very similar in structure, so I totally understand the confusion.

Really it was the "D'oh" and "Gotcha" faces at the end that got me XD
Admittedly I am something of a spelling and grammar guardian, though not to secret police brutality extremes.

I try to pay attention to grammar too, but I don't use the term "Grammar Nazi." Also, I won't correct someone unless I'm supposed to. Like helping them write a paper or something.

You deserves a medal for your great action, sir!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, yeah... xD
I said it because well...you said you are always trying to have a perfect grammar, but you still are very humble to the point for not showing your perfect grammar to everybody...you only show it if the person needs help! xD
We need more humble people in this world...

Well, it is best not to make others angry.

I use the word nazi in that form too.
What was funny was explaining it to a person from Poland who also took the term nazi too literally.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's no "too literally." "Nazi" refers to "Nazi" for a reason.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I'm certainly not killing Jews or am part of the National Socialist German Workers' Party even if I use the word "nazi."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not for using the word. But if you use a word that is likely to make people uncomfortable because it refers to something horrible, you can't really blame them for getting uncomfortable. If you use it as a joke instead of in the proper historical context, some people might think you're making light of it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't make the person from Poland uncomfortable, her English isn't the greatest and she didn't understand which way I meant it, she thought since I used the term "nazi" it meant that I didn't like something but I was referring to keeping something in captivity like the concentration camps. A lot of people make light of the Holocaust, I'm not one of them but I do know several people who do.

Grammar checking a word balloon?! Well then again, you already did break the 4th wall by addressing the audience.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
...now I see what you did there.

I hate that term, too. If your "cute joke" references one of the worst genocides in human history... it's not really very cute or funny...
I used to be really annoying about grammar, too. One of my professors ended a sentence in a preposition in an email. I pointed it out, and she responded with a mini lesson, explaining how that's a myth, how it's perfectly proper (especially in conversational, non-formal text) to end sentences with prepositions, as long as they aren't extraneous. There were citations and examples provided. That put a stop to my "trying to prove how smart I am" attitude really fast.
Then I got to be on the receiving end when someone interrupted me, mid-sentence in a casual spoken conversation, to insist "you mean 'she and I.'" They knew me well enough to know it wasn't a habitual error, but that one slip-up just had to be corrected immediately, they couldn't let it slide. Ugh.
(/cool story bro)

I totally hear you. I try to use correct grammar n' stuff whenever possible, but I (and most people I know) find unsolicited grammar checking ten times more annoying than bad grammar. It's a definite sign of a personality with something to prove.
That said, I encourage people to do so on my comics 'cuz it turns the entire internet into my personal staff of unpaid editors.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Makes perfect sense to correct things that are going to be published. I'd hope people would point it out if I make a mistake on a comic or something, too!
...although now that I know your cunning plot, I think I'm going to bill you for cookies if I ever catch a typo...

Extremely clever!! I love it. And now I'll be forced to call myself something else. Like a Grammar Fairy?
