I dont quite get a kick out of it but it annoys me because those Nazis often underestimate or offend other's intelligence. Yesterday i was talking to a friend that only learned to speak English at the age 25. He told me horror stories about how people were judging him for making grammar and spelling mistakes . He is an Computer Engineer and came first out of 6000 people that took a very complex test in his industry. That is a clear indication of how smart he is but yet people critique him all the time for his grammar mistakes . Nazis is the correct name for them because they are as ignorant and insensitive as Hitler.

@CheerfullyCurious I help several of my foreign friends with their English and they get embarrassed by mistakes, but I always tell them, your English is a helluva lot better than my non existent Arabic or whatever. haha

@CheerfullyCurious yeah. When will people learn the difference between educated and intelligent.

That was me when I first started being on social sites. I couldn't understand why some grammar was so bad. Never occurred to me that English wasn't their first language. I felt pretty small about that. :/ @CheerfullyCurious
