Can someone change the title of this thread to "Grammar Nazi wank-off thread"?
Thank you.

I resent the implication that this is my own personal wank-off thread, given my custom rank. I've spread my mission to several others it would seem!

I though it was a review thread for film of the same title. And people said porn was dumbing down!

So, what do I have to do to earn the "grammar Nazi" (or better, "spelling/grammar Nazi") rank?

Dogpants.

I'd consider it well and truly earned already!

You have to be Lat.

To be honest I actually think eion out-nazis me. The man writes with a fountain pen for fuck's sake!

This is true but it's supposed to be a punishment rank, not a badge of honour which eion appears to be asking for. It's like ASBOs all over again.

edit: Not that I'm objecting, I'm just not going to change his rank myself.

I definitely wear mine as a badge of honour!

In fairness, I only write formal letters with a fountain pen. To give you some perspective as to how often I have to write formal letters, I've been looking for a fountain pen repair place for the last six months or so.

Anyway, if I'm just jotting stuff down on paper, I use a 0.3mm/3H mechanical pencil or one of those Staedtler graphics pens (no idea where my fancy Rotring drawing pens have got to

).

Like berk, eion corrects lots more things than simply grammar.

Yup, eion appears to have a very holistic approach to pedantry.
