GRAMMAR NAZIS UNITE!
Grammar Nazis, look below!
Hello there, Grammar Nazis of Quibblo! Do you hate incorrect grammar? Do you make a fuss when your friends can't form proper sentences? Do you run in terror (well, maybe not really) from a story that doesn't even use full words, let alone proper sentence structure?
If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then congratulations!
Would you - yes, you, sitting at your computer, reading this message intently - like to be a part of the exclusive group known as the Grammar Nazis?
Many of you may call yourself a Grammar Nazi, merely because you're very opinionated on the proper use of grammar or similar. How about it becoming an official title? If you want to become a part of Grammar Nazis, please comment and/or message me (if you choose the latter, please title said message 'Grammar Nazis').
Together, we will search Quibblo for stories that have the worst grammar and suggest that the authors revise it, give each other helpful tips on using correct grammar, and try to improve others' interest in grammar.
GRAMMAR NAZIS UNITE!

XD This is great. :D
YES, YES, YES! ME!
OH MY GOSH! *loves this* I want to join! :D I don't mind slang, though. Like, y'all and gonna!
No, I don't mind that either; I use that, too, but I mean stuff like this: "shes leaving right now" he said i smiled. i didnt like her i was glad she was leaving. "well thats good" i replied "u know i luv u" he said smexily, walking towards me. "ya babe me 2" i said.
That was a little hard to write... But do you get what I mean? They're pretty much words now, actually ;)
Sally! This is our chance! XD
I already do this, but an official title would be nice. So, YEAH! GRAMMAR NAZIS UNITE!!! I've seen stories that had the potential to be good but killed a lot of my brain cells because of the grammar. Nobody's perfect, but people need to make an effort. I edit one of my friend's stories sometimes. Outside of Quibblo, I'm always the first one to jump up and ask, "Can I PLEASE be your editor?" when a friend writes a story.
Me too! Two of my friends asked me to edit their stories for them. I, as well, have seen so many stories that could be good...but aren't.
I'm only a little bit Grammar Nazi! I'm learning! :D
So you'd like to join? We'll be giving tips, as well, so if you still want to know more about it then that can be done.
At least you try, Teagz. :D
I'm not a huge Grammer Nazi, mostly because I suck at spelling... But still, I can't stand when people use text form, or write like your example there in bold. ~dies~
You're still one of us, then. :) I suck at spelling as well, but that's what spellcheck is for, right? And while spelling counts as grammar, they're also different. It's really mostly about the word/sentence structures and the little technicalities that are so vital for understanding the story and keeping brain cells alive.
Would you still like to join? Spelling isn't quite the same as grammar in my book. It's not really as big of an issue as my example, stuff like that.
Yaaay! I must have so many dead brain cells... About half my friends always used texting form online, buuut me and my two other "Grammer Nazi" friends beat them out of it. XP
I am a huge Grammar Nazi!
YES!
Yeah, the story ideas are good but the stories themselves kill me. It's so hard to read. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to write like that. I congratulate you on typing that example up above. I have a feeling the people who write these stories don't do too much reading. I feel like understanding grammar is easy if you read enough. Sorry if I'm not making too much sense. I tend to rant and go on in different directions, but I think you get my point.
I get your point, and you're not ranting. I get what you mean totally. I mean, I get why some people text that way; it's quicker, and often more efficient. However, when one is writing a story or such, they should at least use real words.
And thanks ;)
Oh, pick me! I'm a huge Grammar Nazi, this would be perfect for me... xD Great idea, too! Although many of my friends and family already call me a Grammar Nazi, it'd be great to have the "Official Title" :)
