I think I may be in love with you, Trollheart.

Where do I begin?

This may be like shooting fish in a barrel for Grammar Week, but it still had to be done. I'm just glad it was me.

Dude, come on. A sentence in parenthesis still has to follow basic grammar rules. You must capitalize the first word, and use proper punctuation (you missed the comma after "Also", and the period after "shown".) You have failed this city.

Sorry, Batty. The plural of parenthesis is parentheses.

I feel like there is going to be a big war between Trollheart and Batlord.

Actually, they've both been eliminated. However, it would be too boring without those two. I'm off to revise the rules! Welcome to the Ministry of Truth!

What the ****, dude? I just raked Roxy over the coals for not putting words that she was referencing in a sentence in quotation marks, and now you have failed to do the same with "parenthesis" and "parentheses".

Trollheart already corrected your grammar, so you're also disqualified, which would make your correction of my grammar invalid.

No man, Trollheart wasn't correcting my grammar. He was correcting Neo.

EDIT: It really would be too boring without you and Trollheart. I've revised the rules slightly. Be glad.

You forgot to put a comma after "No" at the beginning of your post. And I just got Mondo's bitch ass.

You forgot to put "Souls of Zero" in italics, there should be commas after both "Zero" and "Neurosis", and the end of your sentence lacks a period.

Now that Grammar Week has begun, I have revised various aspects of the rules that jumped out at me as impractical after Grammar Week actually started. These are listed below and in my original post.

1: Being caught does not eliminate you. It merely costs you a point.

2: An individual user can be caught multiple times, provided that user belongs to The Grammar Nazis. A user who does not belong to The Grammar Nazis can only be caught once. This is also known as the WhateverDude clause.

3. The Introductions subforum is off limits, as is the Members' Journal subforum.
