Description
I have nothing against those who do like to be correct with their English. This is against those who 'flame' others becuase their speech isn't perfect. Get a grip--noone is perfect, not even work artists do. There can be 100 editors on one book, yet when it's out in print, a consumer can spot one or three mistakes. I know I have.
I salute those hard working writers who try their hardest to put their soul's thoughts on paper.Who ever copyrighted the term "Grammar Nazi" (C) whomever copyrighted it. ( If it's copyrighted)

I'm not perfect in my grammar or spelling and I'm American,yes I have spell check and yes I use it. But to actually scold someone for not having 'perfect' grammar? Wow. Grammar Nazi's are not our bosses or English teacher's,they are just trolls who like to well,troll people on misspelling's or how they word things. They should be ashamed of themselve's,if they think EVERYONE in the world should have perfect grammar.

ah ha! you seem to have written "put their soul's thoughts", however soul's is just a shortened version of "soul is". Now let us see "put their soul is thoughts", does that seem correct to you? no, see the proper way to put it is "souls, put their souls thoughts".
You cannot stop us you know, we will keep correcting until mistakes are no longer made. Seig Heil, and goodbye.

That usage of "soul's" is possessive, and "soul's" is a correct term in that context. Souls is the plural form of soul, and is not the possessive.

Besides, the completely proper form for that is souls', possessive and plural. Just pointing that out there.

There is such a thing as a Grammer Nazi? Well I guess you do learn something new everyday.

It's a literary term that's come about recently. It's people who take writing so seriously they have to correct everyone on everything.
"You said ain't. Ain't is not a word."
"You said a fragment."
*eyeroll* I've read MANY books with fragments.
For example: He hurried through the woods.
Snap.
He turned around to see a ghostly figure of a deer with red eyes.

... grammar nazi is a fairly universal term... it's relatively widely known as being a person who feels the need to bash other people and correct them for every typographic, grammatical, and syntax error they make. kind of like this:
hey, moron, way to spell "grammar" correctly. it's written at least ninety times on this page, and it's in the name of the piece. G-R-A-M-M-A-R, not grammer.
you see, that's what a grammar nazi would say to you. but I'm not one, so don't worry.

So Grammar Nazis bash people trying to "preserve" the language? I heard that from quite a few people.

not necessarily... it's just that I love grammar. same as I love algebra. I could sit down and do algebra and grammar problems and it would be fun to me. I don't think the language is being lost, at all. I just figure people should make an attempt to keep grammar in their lives. its ok 2 talk lik this in casual convo, but in formal writing, proper grammar is vital. so it's good to know both. that's all.

Well some people dont want to write the whole word so they use shoter ones instead. If the person knows it then thats good if they dont then they can just explain it. At other times they can be drunk. But no in reference to you I'm actually talking about the real grammer nazis.

ew X[ I hate alcohol. anyway, I always speak in full grammar and syntax, but that's just because I prefer to speak that way. I don't force it on other people. on the other hand, if someone makes a REALLY stupid mistake, but the rest of their grammar is good, they abviously mean to use proper grammar, so in those cases I will let them know. other than that, whatever.

There is a difference between Spelling and Grammar. Spelling is the individual word, Grammar is the arrangement of those words. Cheers.

Sure. But people with dyslexia and dysgraphia have trouble with spelling as well. It's not the most encompassing phrase, but what can you do? lol

Yes, but when your a Grammar Nazi you CAN write whats in your soul, and its actually easy for people to read! xD
And I'm a Grammar Nazi, but I don't flame others who spell bad. I know many a dA user who chose to spell a certain way. And it doesn't concern me, I just like to make it known that I love grammar and spelling more than tlkng lyd dis. xD

XD Cool. Did you know that grammar is so subjective and discrimatory? The 'Grammar Nazi's I speak of seem to be know-it-all's but, from my Eng 282, that grammar used to include the word "aint" as acceptable before the 1700's, then afterwords it wasn't proper.
"You'all" is proper to those in the South--why should the North in America stick up their noses?
If you are proud to be a Grammar Nazi who's obssessed with grammar and respects others, good for you. This was for the proud, self-imposing ones, that think a good story must be all in order---if that's true why have rules at all? If one does break a rule, who is going to know if that was a mistake or intentional?
Besides, I love my lingustic-Eng 282 class. Everyone knows how to SPEAK proper English, the writing is the part that gets confusing.
Thanks for stopping by this club.

True, but.... itz wen i tlk lke ths tht i ned 2 b sh0t (no idea how I managed to write that).
Or Microsoft word. It shall correct most of your spelling errors (most people have it) there are other programs too. And online dictionaries.

It is important that people put that little bit of extra effort into what they write and strive to be all they can be.
Attempt to imporve. Actually do it. Show some pride in yor work etc.
Getting a 'bit' preachy. You know what I am saying.
As always writers. Keep writing and learning!

I know dictionaries help, but they don't always help when you don't know how see mistakes in sentences. Run ons don't help when you have a great idea going and are using lots of commas.
