I Hate Bad Grammar

I am a total grammar nazi...

[i]In my head.[/i]

As much as I hate bad grammar (and spelling!), I always do my best to not correct people unless they ask me to, because it's just not nice. Having said that, because I hate it so much, I just don't talk to people who can't form coherent sentences. It seems to be working for now, although that does nothing to help the massive volume of posts on the homepage that are really badly worded.

Sometimes a sentence is just wrong, but sometimes it's so wrong that the meaning behind the sentence is lost, and that's when I'm truly done with someone: When the sentences they've written literally can't be deciphered.

I'm a grammar Nazi...with myself. I hate it when I misspell a word or make a grammatical error and will immediately edit any that I find. With other people, I'm much more forgiving. Where I draw the line with others is whether or not the grammar/spelling is so bad that I can't understand what they're saying. When I can't understand them, I'll usually ask them to rephrase what they said.
