I don't mind grammar nazis as long as their corrections are accurate. This is just crap though.

"One hundred and one dalmations".

Swivel on it.

I agree. This is just nitpicking at best. This is a thread for grammar afficionados, not math nerds.

I hate when people use quotation marks for emphasis! I always want to say, "Who are you quoting?"

It's okay to indulge sometimes and just say it.

"You're" not "your" for "you are" ...

What about a lesbian couple?

Still, only one person can be pregnant. Unless, both are carrying a baby.

Bi-weekly when the person means semi-weekly. Though I think bi-weekly has come to mean both twice a weekend every other week.

NP. Is that new? My seventh grade math teacher would penalize anyone who used "and."

Correct: "Susan and I went to the theatre." Take away "Susan" and one would still say "I went to the theatre."

Incorrect: "The house belongs to Susan and I." Take away Susan... would it be correct to say, "The house belongs to I" ? In this case, "The house belongs to Susan and me."

Even worse: "Susan and myself went to the theatre." Nooooo!

Can we be friends? This one drives me insane.

Along with "We should have went to the store". Aaarrrggghgh. It hurts me just to type that.

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.

You're. Try it, it's a contraction of "you are". Not "your".

I sure hope you're purty....snicker.

My boss always says "antidote" when he means "anecdote." Makes me cringe every time.
