It never fails. Let some alternative media source dig into a scandal or uncover a piece of government corruption and the grammar nazis will rise to the surface like a maggot after a piece of putrid meat.
An online resource defines a grammar nazi this way:
grammar Nazi (plural grammar Nazis)
Note: unnecessary. It occurs to me that a group interested in discrediting a movement or idea, could design a focused campaign of grammatical insults/corrections to get people distracted by grammar minutia, instead of focusing on the message’s content.
And, because Americans are so easily distracted, out come the flame wars. People fly off the handle quicker than a dieter loses his mind at a buffet. All because they are easily distracted.
What is more important: the message or grammar?
Does a whistleblower’s message become unimportant because he or she doesn’t have a grammar PhD?
Nonsensical nitpicking empowers elites to manipulate moronic masses.
Let’s pretend I am your neighbor and I know you spend a lot of time on the Internet. Supose I send you an email telling you that your house is on fire. Do you ignore my message because i switched i and r and mispelled the word?
The message is more important than the medium or the spelling. For non-grammar nazis.
So, think of the broader scope of things, when we become so distracted and crazed over mispellings, incorrect useage and goon grammar that we forget the message.
The message, not the grammar is the medium.
If yoU CAN’T dismiss the content, focus on grammar mistakes.
