It wasn’t humor?

Maybe it was a folk song.

“Watch your grammar because or else the grammar Nazis’s will get you to.”

The plural of ‘Nazi’ is ‘Nazis’ without an apostrophe.

You’re welcome. (-:

I’m thankful I attended school before it was against the rules to correct grammar. A high school teacher, in the 80’s, told me they were no longer allowed to deduct grade points for poor grammar, punctuation, or incorrect spelling, due to a racial discrimination lawsuit the district had lost. (Actually, the district pled guilty, thinking it would be cheaper in the long run. HA! The out of town, big city law firm is STILL billing litigation costs, and will do so we infinitum, because they CAN.)

Supposably, the first National Grammar Day was in 1951.

There is a grammar flub right in the headline.


I believe the requirement for proper grammar, etc., was dropped from journalism curricula many years ago.

Sigh. And then we have auto correct, which also ignores grammar, syntax, and several other rules. AD infinitum, NOT we infinitum!

She could be an interpreter!

At my engineering school there was an old maintenance building with a low roof. Someone had painted on the metal roof “I used to not spel Enginner and now I our one!”

It was up there for all the four years I was there - and looked like it had been up there for awhile before that.

It was pretty accurate. I helped a lot of guys when it came to writing reports. (And they helped me with my calculus, physics, etc.!!)

William F. Buckley spoke with perfect grammar.
His manner of speech was so correct and affected, that people made jokes about it.
English is a living language, and there are often several ways to say the same thing, depending on your audience.
