Happens more in real life than forums, but what a buzzkill that is.

Well, that's the point of saying my mom died either because they really did die or to fake it and burst your stupid jokes bubble. It's a lame defense but people pull it out when they are stuck and don't have a great comeback.

I remember when I first signed up here, I said "unattracted" and Plum was all "HAY U KNO DATS NOT A WORD, RIGHT....." Only time I can remember someone correcting me... but what is this, a grammar class or a discussion forum? I see it more with other people and it annoys me when it doesn't even happen to me. Everyone knows what they are trying to say but somebody always has to be a hero and correct them like it's their 4th grade spelling teacher. I don't get it.

I don't really care about grammar nazis anymore especially the ones that use it as some sort of insult while we are exchanging insults. It is one of the lowest and weakest forms of insulting someone to resort to correcting their grammar. The lowest form of insulting someone is using sarcasm. The person using it thinks they are oh so clever when they use it but no, you are just a straight up douche and your insult/comeback is horrible.

you might've misunderstood what he was saying.
he was basically saying that grammar nazi's are annoying going around fixing people's spelling mistakes and grammar. it doesn't bother him but it bothers the grammar nazi so much that they have to type the correct usage.
