[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]1. Do you often get the annoyed when people mistakes your from you're, this from these or were from where?[/quote]
Yes, because dafak are they dumb, I mean after typing "you're" at the back of your mind its "you are" not "I used you're notebook" like the dafak mehn that is so dumb of you.

6/10
okay okay, so in text i use proper grammar like the names should be in Capital letters, i should put apostrophe here there, i shouldn't combined words or use shortcuts whatsoever because I believe that proper grammar is sexy
my posts here in ftalk are an exception of course
kidding.
I feel the urge to correct them, but sometimes I just don't give a damn anymore. I only get annoyed when the people who commit these mistakes are the same ones who think so highly of themselves. And I make this kind of mistakes too, unconsciously. So I have come to understand and tolerate it
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]2. As a grammatical nazi, after re-reading your own post and feels there's something wrong or missing about it, do you feel the urge or need to correct them right away?[/quote]
I do feel the urge to correct them right away. Aaaaand get ridiculously embarrassed by it. If I see something terribly constructed in a post of mine and I can't edit it, I feel really frustrated. It's a definition of torture for me too
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]3. Also when you see a person making grammatical mistakes, do you always have the guts to tell it to them straight no matter what?[/quote]
Not always. It depends on how close I am with that person. If it's one of my closest friends, I tell it to them right away. Especially if it's really bad grammar, to save them from getting humiliated. If it's someone I'm not really close with, then it will depend on how bad their grammar is (I once corrected someone who said [i]"I'm a lost cost"[/i] instead of [i]"I'm a lost cause."[/i]), but either way, I try to tell them politely.

Iiiii don't think I'm a Grammar Nazi. I just support and love good grammar. Just like what @shana16 said, good grammar is sexy
and English is a complex yet beautiful language, people need to use it more.


HAHAHAHAHA. [b]YOUR[/b] so funny.
How's the urge Shana?
[quote=shana16;#347702;1376312026]sometimes i dont care about it because people are too dumb to notice those typo's

Shouldn't that be 'typos' without the apostrophe?
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]A person who uses proper grammar at all times, esp. online in emails, chatrooms, instant messages and webboard posts; a proponent of grammatical correctness.[/quote]
[b]PC[/b] = Yes. Definitely.
[b]Touchscreen phones[/b] = Fuck it.
Do you know how long before I can construct a decent sentence on a phone with a small screen?!
I'm like FFFFUUUUUUUU every time I press the wrong key which is every 3 seconds or so.
[b]Web board posts[/b] = I do. But I like using shortcuts for these words: though = tho, already = adi, Probably = prolly and many more.
[b]Instant messages[/b] = Only if I'm typing in English. I'm not strict with my punctuation marks and capitalization although I'm almost always careful with my spelling.
[quote]b � One who attempts to persuade or [b]force others[/b] to use proper grammar and spelling.[/quote]
Nope...
Maybe only when s/he's talking to me and I have problems understanding.
[quote]c � One who uses proper grammar and spelling to subtly mock or deride those who do not[/quote]
When I hate someone, I don't do it [i]subtly[/i]. I really rub it to their faces.
If it's a friend, I would repeat his/her sentence using the correct form so s/he can see his/her mistake.
[b]For example:[/b]
Him: Did you called the police?
Me: Did I call the police? Yea, I did.

There was a time I used to type 1337 (a bit) so I rly don't mind. Most of the time, I just avoid people who are hard to understand on the internet.
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]1. Do you often get the annoyed when people mistakes your from you're, this from these or were from where?[/quote]
I don't get annoyed at the blunderer (except if I adi hate him/her then that's gunna be a multiplier
) but it's definitely an eyesore.
I also commit the same mistakes tho when I'm sleepy, not focused, half awake etc. etc.

Yup. That's why Twitter should have an edit button. I'm always thinking whether I should delete my tweet if I make a mistake or just let it be and hope no one cares.
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]Also when you see a person making grammatical mistakes, do you always have the guts to tell it to them straight no matter what?[/quote]
No. Especially if we're not close.
But there was this girl I corrected in Facebook. Idk, it was just too annoying to ignore. The word was spreaded. She wrote it on her status, I forgot what the whole quote was but she was trying tell her haters to fuck off or sth.
[quote]Well then, after reading the definition... do you now consider yourself one? If so, what is your Grammar Nazi level?
[/quote]
I'm not perfect. I also make a lot of grammatical errors. I could be double checking my post and still find lapses the next time I re-read it. Admit it or not, English isn't our native language so people shouldn't rly expect every flip to be perfect. Hell, even native speakers commit mistakes.
I'm at least a [b]5[/b]. Keeping in mind that English is just a language.
Because I'm different when I am with different groups of people. If I'm with school friends, I talk like a regular English student. If I'm with my bestfriend, I talk ghetto, and sometimes I talk like she does. She is so smart. I can't even.
Or when I'm talking to a filipino friend, I try to pronounce my words in a filipino accent to make the conversation fun.
What really annoys me is when people have a keyboard and they try to type an even shorter version of a 5 letter word. On my birthday, people said "HBD" instead of happy birthday. I just don't understand why people are SO lazy...
I am probably a 7.
Actually, I even edit my old posts whenever I notice grammatical errors
So I get kinda frustrated when I can't edit previous posts and I just feel embarrassed for a simple mistake. I think to myself "I know this but I how come I made a mistakeeee"
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]3. Also when you see a person making grammatical mistakes, do you always have the guts to tell it to them straight no matter what?[/quote]
No. I just ignore most of the time.
From the definition, I am not really a grammar nazi but I am conscious sometimes (usually on spelling). Like, I don't follow the rules when I'm using my phone because I'm too lazy to be conscious about it. I use shortcuts like idk, otw, wth and don't bother putting periods and commas. My phone's on auto-capitalization so my messages usually goes like this:
[i]May pasok ba? katamad maulan pa naman[/i]
As long as they got what I was trying to say, that's good
Also, I text my family in shortcuts like [i]cge, dyn, lng[/i]
I'm too lazy and they don't really care so I know it's okay. I just make sure to follow the rules when doing a paper or sending emails to important people. So a 6 for me maybe
Just a story to share:
I remember one time when my schoolmate pm-ed me on YM saying [i]"ngm?"[/i] and I was totally clueless to what he was trying to say. I was thinking, is there something I missed online?
I asked him and was told it meant "[i]nu gawa mo?"[/i]
It made me lol literally. So people still do that kind of thing even when [i]ano[/i] is already [i]nu[/i]. I abused the rofl emoticon in YM that time

I always re-read my post. Like two or three times and make sure everything flows perfectly.
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]Also when you see a person making grammatical mistakes, do you always have the guts to tell it to them straight no matter what?[/quote]
Yes I do . I always comment things like "RIP ENGLISH" blablabla. I even correct my teachers and because of that, most of my classmates find me annoying.
[s]Dang this looks pathetic.[/s] jktho
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]1. Do you often get the annoyed when people mistakes [i]your from you're[/i], [i]this from these[/i] or [i]were from where[/i]?[/quote]
Definitely.
But like Aj, I also don't like getting into arguments. It's a waste of time and effort explaining yourself and correcting them. I just resort to thinking maybe that person just forgot adding an apostrophe to his words and then got lazy editing his sentence.
It's better than thinking they're really stupid.

Yes, even the post has been there for a year or a decade.
Also whenever I post, especially here, it really takes me like a long time to construct my sentence. :L I think about it a lot and often rape the 'Preview' button a couple of times before I'm finally satisfied.
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]3. Also when you see a person making grammatical mistakes, do you always have the guts to tell it to them straight no matter what?[/quote]
Only if he/she's a super close friend. Like for example... when uh, he/she used [i]has[/i] instead of [i]had[/i] (Gah, it's so simple.
), I often correct their errors right away. I will declare the right word for the sentence and then explain why.
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]Well then, after reading the definition... do you now consider yourself one? If so, what is your Grammar Nazi level?[/quote]
Yes, but not so much.
I'd prolly just be [b]5.5[/b].
Most especially when they're so [i]mayabang[/i] in person and when it comes to their grammar they're like mistakes there, mistakes here. i mean. Grrr. [i]Magtagalog kanalang kaya?[/i]
2. Sometimes no, sometimes yes. I usually make typo errors. liek <-this
And I let it be. I also sometimes dont care if my word lacks of apostrophe or any necessary punctuation. Like.. dont. cant. theyre.
any words that are understandable even without apostrophes or whatever. But when it comes to the words that is really in need of apostrophes like, It's and other words like it, I have this urge to go edit it!
3. No.. not usually. When they are really really really close to me like my best friend or my brother or my mother, I'll correct them straight to the point. But when it comes to other people, I just dont care at all but I get annoyed by their mistakes sometimes.
Right now i dont know if all of my grammars are correct but, sorry i am not a perfect person so please bare with me
For this I'm kind of a 2/5?
, but of course we are not gods and godessess of english. A lot of us suck. And we are here to laugh at each other's mistake all the time. I don't force anyone to speak the proper way, heck that's harder as it is.
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]1. Do you often get the annoyed when people mistakes your from you're, this from these or were from where?[/quote]
I don't get that annoyed. I would admit, I always use YOUR instead of YOU'RE, yeah i know screw me right?, but I know the difference. I just type so fast I get lazy to spell it out right. I would also blame the influence of short texting to me, you know the U instead of YOU or UR instead of YOUR. It does affect how one's spell. It maybe annoying to see them but it's inevitable, people got so influenced by how you short text that they just use it everywhere. I use it, I got used to it. I get annoyed yes, but I use it. Ironic right?
. One thing I cannot take it people who just suck at English so much, it's not how it is spelled or how it is used but at least it still sounds right but those who just speak at so poor english. It annoys me.

I read what I write 3x before sending it. If it's an important email, i use grammar/spell check. Hey, I'm not that good in english, minus well get help
.
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]3. Also when you see a person making grammatical mistakes, do you always have the guts to tell it to them straight no matter what[/quote]
Whenever I know it's wrong. Like what I've said, I get annoyed with people with poor english. And they're even that arrogant to even notice. I pass those who I know who are good in English but are just not confident to speak it. But those who are you know celebrities, people I see on TV, people I know who I thought are good in english but suck at it. I heard my manager say "That's very good about it". I mean that itself I know is wrong because it sounded wrong. Im not sure if it's even gramatically right but it just sounds so wrong. I always blurt out a "say what?" whenever he says that. Or whenever someone else said it, I just say "that doesn't sound right" or just laugh at their face.
[quote=Pawws;#347668;1376304591]Well then, after reading the definition... do you now consider yourself one? If so, what is your Grammar Nazi level?[/quote]
Not that high. I don't correct everyone, just those I know who needs to be corrected. I'm not good in written and oral English anyway so I wont put myself in humiliation if ever someone else corrects me in revenge. But I just can't stand "Carabao English" in a serious way.
