Its just annoying, how people think they are cool with a kind of nazi symbol in their signature.
it makes you more stupid then the people that cant speak perfect english.
Ur right, i find that extremly offensive.
Fine if u want to create some fruity little grammar club but do not make this ur logo.
Maybe u want to google search the holocaust, u still think its not bad?!
If ur sooo good at grammar then it wouldnt be that hard to think how inapropriate it is!
Hello,
To be honest, Grammar Nazi's are just people that promote using proper grammar on the internet.
This has nothing to do with nothing with the Holocaust so please do not post such topics like this.
I'm proud to be a Grammar Nazi.
Maybe you should become one.

Brian Crowell
I wouldn't be. Being a grammar Nazi makes you look a d*ck head.
"If you can't use perfect grammar on the internet, don't f*cking post." - Not a nice way to put across the message, is it?
Hello,
People view things differently, all equal to our own opinion.
Most of all, most Grammar Nazi's such as I only just like to have a bit of fun.
We mean no harm in it at all.
But I understand the concept of where you all are getting at.
But all in the same matter, "Grammar Nazi" is just a term used for someone that uses strict grammar when posting on forums.
Thank you for reading my reply.

Brian Crowell
I agree with both of you. It's pretty offensive how the banner is "promoting" grammar nazi's, that's probably why people aren't very fond of you. Brianc had a good point to when he said they're just having a little fun, Well their version of fun.
I don't really get offended by this because It's just a little picture and a group of people who claim to have "perfect" grammar. If one of them correct you just think - no one is perfect, not even the guy that corrected you.

Not to side with anyone, but if you're just a group of people who use proper grammar, why can't you guys just use another name, like "The Ultimate Proper Grammar Squad Club" or something like it. I understand you guys just want to have a little fun, but the Holocaust wasn't a funny thing. Millions of jews died for nothing. In my opinion, I would use another name that doesn't include "Nazi." :-\
Dennis, This is a World Wide group. I think it was originally made for Trolls.
I was the first to have this in my siggy. Then it was luke and some other guys. I don't see it offensive at all. If the word Nazi offends you, then I don't see how you can stand to learn about WWII and the holocaust. I mean COD has Nazi Zombies and people aren't freaking out about that.

Maybe because you get to kill the Nazi's in that game 8)
Dead nazis ;D. Anyway back OT, I really don't see anything wrong with it. It's obviously not being serious or promoting some kind of cult or anything.

I think it's the wording underneath the "Grammar Nazi" that sets people off. They just bring up the fact that Nazi is offensive to get it off the forums, I'm thinking.
Lol. To me you have to be really sensitive to think the word 'Nazi' is actually offensive. Meh.

I don't think they think they're cool because they have it. They probably thought it was funny or something. Why else do people put anything in their signature if it's not funny or cool or means something to them?
than if nazis is so offencive than why the f*ck did the nazi people make it then huh wired?

Nazi was just a name for Hitler's soldiers. They didn't create their name intending to be offensive. They just wanted to be world power. I think that's what you were asking anyway...
The name isn't intended to be offensive at first, It was just a name. When they started to kill thousands upon thousands of Jews then their name became an offensive one.
I guess you could say that. But I wouldn't really say the name is offensive. That's like saying that Taliban or Al Queda is an offensive name.

No but if you said "I'm apart of the grammar Taliban" to a Afghanistan person it would offend them, Right?
Lol I have no idea. But we aren't saying "I'm a grammar Nazi" to Hitler's army either.

Hello,
You just found the key to the meaning of "Grammar Nazi"
Meaning Grammar Power, or Powerful Grammar.
So therefore how is the phrase "Grammar Power" Offensive?
Because that is what "Grammar Nazi" stands for.
Just asking, state your answers.

I was actually stating that it wasn't offensive in my post.
It's just a signature, live with it. It's just another joke that some people can't handle, stop being a wimp and complain for one siggy, it's useless.

Being a wimp and thinking something is racist and offensive are two whole different things.
There are also more then "one siggy" of these, There are millions.
Meh. I've given my opinions on it. No sense trying to prove other people's opinions wrong cause that's not possible.
Im not talking about the word nazi because the word nazi has different meanings. But that symbol in it and the text.

My point is that it's useless to get mad for such lame reason. You can't put racism in a box you have in your signature in forums etc, unless it stands something bad about white, black, latinos to example. But that's just my opinion. I'm probably wrong since there's alot of different types of racism. But for me "grammar nazis" is not apart of it.
And by the way, "If you can't use the perfect grammar on the forums, don't f'ing post" that's bullshit, even tho i understand the concept of it.
Well, i think its annoying when you see people that are trying to be cool with stuff like that on their signature. If some one cant use perfect grammar, they may not post? Nice kind of grammar club.
EDIT: i'm not trying to prove other people are wrong, i'am just telling you guys how i think about it.
well, brianc is taking it very serious as you see.

If it's promoting good grammar, then why can't they have a positive name instead of using Nazi? And what Aaron said, most of the people that are in that "squad" don't even use proper grammar half the time...
Chill guys..Grammar nazi squad thingy is all a Joke.
Usually the people who want mods are talking like that...
And when they dont get it, they still keep on using it lol
Yes mods and mods wanna be uses fullstops and proper grammar.
Ok so from 3 pages of commenting we've made 3 points.
1: Grammar nazi is just a joke.
2: It's offensive to some people.
3: Some people use proper grammar and some don't.
Can we talk about something new please?
We're pretty much going no where here.
Topic Locked.
