I think you just made her fantasy come true! (And mine.) No, wait. Not mine. Not the whole forum. No. Just me. Yeah. I know: I'm going to Grammar Belsen. Luckily Grammar Week hasn't begun yet.

Mind you, it's a whole lot better than Granma Week, when old ladies follow you around telling you how it was in their day and how you should really have a girlfriend by now...

Two days left people. Anyone wanna buy a dictionary or a thesor -- tassaur --- thisore --- book with lots of meanings for words in it? ;) :cool:

Nah, I have a dictionary/thesaurus app on my phone. I'm a child of the 21st century.

Grammar Week begins at 12:00 midnight GMT. That gives all of you 2 hours 29 minutes before the Grammar Nazis strike!

The deadline for joining the Grammar Nazis and thus being eligible to participate in Grammar Week is 12:00 midnight GMT on September 15. At that time, I will lock it into an invite-only group. So sign up now, and join our glorious cause!

So midnight GMT is at seven o'clock Eastern time in the states?

Indeed.

It'll be 8PM in Eastern time 'cause we're still on Daylight Savings Time.

Right! Just checked and you are indeed correct. So 1 hour 56 minutes still remaining.

Aw ****! We're still doing that Daylight Savings Time ****? Thanks, Obama!

So that will mean September 16 for me?

Midnight GMT on Sept. 15 = NOON on Sept. 15 in New Zealand.
You're 12 hours ahead of GMT.

I'm appointing you director of time zones!

The September 15th cutoff is for actually joining the group. Grammar Week begins in just under an hour.

(Or suffer the consequences...!)

Ladies and gentlemen, Grammar Week has begun. The Grammar Nazis are watching you, and they never sleep.

I am countering Grammar Week with Fact Checker Week. Fact: it's impossible to "never sleep." The record to go without sleep is about 11 days and live by Randy Gardner. There was this Japanese business man who was working on a merger (even though he was going to loose his job) worked days without sleeping and drop dead. He death was attributed to sleep deprivation.

And then there is this story:
Jiang Xiaoshan dies after watching every Euro 2012 match and going 11 nights without sleep | Mail Online
edit: Goofle do not attempt to do this^

I'm sorry, Neo. You're my first victim.

Will the person with the most mistakes win anything?

Sorry PS; you missed one! Semper Correctis! (also there should be an "and" in between his job and worked, as shown)

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

Where do I begin? "African-Canadians" should be in quotation marks, since you're referencing the term, and not actually using it in the sentence; you misspelled "admit", and that last ... sentence, is just a mess of horrid punctuation. 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.

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.

I move that we keep the Nazism out of introduction threads as well to keep new members from thinking that we're a bunch of pedantic assholes, or at least to delay that thought.

This is a good idea.

Correction: That is a good idea.

To correct me, you must first join the Grammar Nazis. If you join now, I'll still give you the point.

Oh gee whiz I have this inherent discomfort for things about Nazis out-side a historic perspective. I don't mind watching documentaries about WWII and Nazis, but I feel uncomfortable hearing Nazi Jokes, or calling people Nazis, Grammar Nazis, Soup Nazis etc or calling me self a Nazi or Grammar Nazi. I think I'll pass. I'll hide out in the safe zones for now.

Enemy Bulbasaur has fainted.

:rofl:

Batlord when you rake me over the coals it's like foreplay. ;)

I claim yet another victory for the Reich.

How about I get out my red pen, so we can get down to proofreading?

You really know how to spoil a girl!^
