Grammar Nazi's

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 2:38 PM

Hello Everybody,

     Following Nikhil's well thought out blog about all our blogging styles, I noticed that he missed out one, his own. He always starts with a greeting, excessively extending the words by using multiple letters where only one is necessary (e.g. Hiii peoples). He continues on with good punctuation and improvable but acceptable sentence structure, and every now and then, conveniently forgets capitalisation.

     A lot of people say that Nikhil and I are similar in certain ways. I've no doubt we probably are, but not in the ways that they tend to say. Like being a Grammar Nazi. It's true, I always use proper english. It's not that I find l33t speak repulsive or anything (but I do, actually). I just find that it's a good habit to get into. And just because I don't shorten or use numerals in my words doesn't make me any slower. I'm yet to find somebody who can type faster than me (not including my mum, she's scary).

     But I'm getting off the point. Just because I like using proper grammar and spelling and the likes, doesn't make me a Grammar Nazi. A Grammar Nazi is defined as "Someone who believes it's their duty to attempt to correct any grammar and/or spelling mistakes they observe." I have no care whether or not you use proper grammar and spelling. I have my own standards, and I have no desire to force them on you. You can go ahead and use whatever style of writing you like, I won't care. If you sound like a noob in the process, that's your loss.

     Nikhil, however, is a Grammar Nazi. Not a hardcore one like you sometimes see, but occasionally he will tell off people for their incorrect use of the English language. Most often, these people are strangers (blogwalkers or people in public chat and such), but sometimes even his friends (if it's possible to term them as friends... just kidding!).

     On a lighter note, Australia is owning the Commonwealth Games. We have 9 golds, 9 silvers and 4 bronze (22 total). The stupid Poms, however, only have 2 golds, 7 silvers and 4 bronze (13 total). Since I'm almost as patriotic as Nikhil, I'll add that India has 5 golds, 4 silvers and 2 bronze (11 total) and is still coming 2nd, but we all know it's the War between the Aussies and the Poms that really matters.

     Anyway, I'm going to keep cheering for Australia (waking up at 6am to see the score, then falling asleep and only officially waking up at 2pm) and India at the same time. It's hard to tell which country I want to win. I want Australia to win, since I love Australia and we're all awesome and that, but I also want India to win, because no matter if I become an Australian citizen and an Australian life is the only life I know how to live, I'll always be an Indian too. Also, India doesn't have as many achievements as Australia does, and also, come on. India deserves a break after all the bullsh*t they took from the media before the Comm Games started.

     So I'm just going to sit on the fence, and hope that they both do well, and that the Poms DIE.

That's it. Thanks for reading!
