You may be a Nazi, but presumably you are not a coach otherwise beyond conversational grammar, you would not notice if it occurred in scholarly writing.

I am not sure what you are trying to say. Your improper sentence structure prevents me from understanding your point.

Your not a coach or a teacher, because the later would have made improvements and shared their knowledge. So now I do believe you. You are just a Nazi.

We read voraciously. Anything from the back of the cereal box to the New York Times to Tolstoy. It helps. Come join us. You too can be a part of our world.

107 = one hundred seven, NOT one hundred AND seven...the only time you say "and" is when there is a decimal point in the number...as in 32.5 = thirty-two AND five tenths

There is a metro bus driving around with an advertisement for an emergency/after-hours type clinic that says they are "opened" 7 days a week...don't know why it bugs me...just does

NP here;sorry i don't read voraciously. I have a life to live and don't lock myself up in a room focused on other peoples spelling and grammatical shortcomings. It maybe because my DH and I actually have a happy marriage and dont ignore our kids or each other. we are not uptight prudes.

Get out your red pen! That should keep you busy for a minute or two.

Your "logic" is inane at best.

Actually, we only bring out our red pens when the authors seek to improve their prose. You are happy with your life and grammar decisions. Thus, our pens are not needed.

So then why identify yourself as a Nazi? Surely there must be more accurate descriptions of your passions than that of a political model where most or all individual freedoms are sacrificed for the state. Perhaps you might consider a more appropriate designation like "The Society for the Enhancement of Excellent Grammar". You can be it's founding member. It sounds like a great idea to me!!!

We have come to use that term because others have labeled us as such. But I like your idea! I'll start with you: "its" not "it's."

*Backs away* Noooooooooooooooo... I don't want to come (? - GNz will tell me if this is wrong, anywho, let me continue) to the dark side.

BTW, thought they use purple pens, not red ones.
