by Qaanol January 21, 2005 GRAMMAR NAZI or Grammar Police refers to someone who habitually corrects grammar and / or spelling mistakes made by others in conversation, both on and offline. In most cases, the term carries a negative connotation of either being a buzzkiller who ruins a good joke by getting too technical or a n00b who is gullible enough to be irritated by a Grammar Trap, an intentional use of incorrect grammar for the purpose of trolling.
*hope dapat membantu sesiapa yg tak faham or tak pernah dgr pn apa itu GRAMMAR NAZI:$ I vote 'no':D
*p/s: thank you supermod seribulan for the credits:$ Yes {:2conggalo once was...irritated others.
So stop {:smileo iols vote...NO.....:D I am sort of YES. Even though I am not good in English ;P For communicative purposes, I guess the most important thing is being able get your point across. As long as people understand you, it's fine even if you make grammatical errors. But for official documents/matters, you do need to be grammatically correct. Me= no jugak :lol: kdg2 ada la tapi selalunya biar sajok. Tgk keadaan :) Depends.. Research paper - yes (wajiblah kan hahaha).. Dri segi communication, tak sgt. As long org tu fhm maksud kita, so should be fine. I am a grammar Nazi only to my daughter and my husband. It's quite tiring being one with a 5 year old. :-D I've already voted 'YES'! :lol:
I vote NO. {:kisso utk conversation tak lah sangat, asalkn listener paham dah cukup. tapi utk proper document sgt2 yes. Can be a nazi sometimes! But most of the time i don bother, but always have that cringling feeling when i heard grammar mistakes. So on the fence for me! Voted on the fence:loveliness: No...for social media
Yes...for official documents, memos and especially with my kids.. i vote NO...hehe..tp sometimes yes bila ada yg bertanya no... as long as u get to the point and people can understand the point..enough for me alreadyy.. Kt utube ramai sgt Grammar nazis ni...
