Grammar Nazi.  :D

Grammar
In linguistics, grammar is the set of structural rules that govern the composition of sentences, phrases, and words in any given natural language.

Spelling
Spelling is the writing of one or more words with letters and diacritics. In addition, the term often but not always means an accepted standard spelling or the process of naming the letters.

Thus Mr. Dot Grizz would be a Spelling Nazi, not as you alledge a Grammar Nazi!

just saying......... Discuss Pls

That's true, I am being a spelling nazi, however there is a difference between mistyping a word and not knowing how a word is spelled.  We all know the difference now. :)

I was just thinking about that, but being a non natively English speaker I wasn't sure if one could call such strange fruit hangers, too. I also noticed you being a real gentleman by rather linking to the picture instead of showing it directly in this thread. Very thoughtful concerning those lesser aged and mature. Keep on dragging :salute

What does that matter?  People are still going to click on the link not knowing what the picture is.

I guess illiterate people don't follow these threads. The link clearly says "Civil War" and "Hanging Conspirators" which should act as a warning of violency to tender folks.
<Edit>Titled as it is, I wouldn't click the link with my children watching over my shoulder.</Edit>

I admit I didn't read the link before I clicked on it, didn't think I'd need to.  However, when calling other people illiterate, best not to use the word "violency."

If I could hang my planes from a hanger for storage, would the hanger then become a hangar or would I have to refer to it as a "hangar hanger", or would it be "hanger hangar"? :headscratch:

I know, I saw that.  I'm taking French 110 but I'm not going to go around telling French people they are illiterate.  He took offense that I disagreed with him about the appropriateness of the link and resorted to personal attacks.

... Also proves that his spelling by far exceeds that of the average American.

Perhaps he did not know that calling someone illiterate has a negative connotation in the English language.

... Also proves that his spelling by far exceeds that of the average American.

Sadly, this is true.

Jayhawk, I'm truly sorry if I made you feel personally attacked.  :(

I said "I guess...", not  "I didn't know illiterate people follow these threads."

By illiterate I meant people who really can't read. I guess a real analphabet could manage to play the AH game, if someone had saved his login information, but I doubt such a person would surf on this board. The rest of us may click links with or without reading underlined parts of text. I'm just cleaning viruses from a computer, the owner of which didn't read what he was clicking.
