Sometimes, some people's grammar needs to be corrected. And most times, I correct it.
Sometimes, when I correct people's incorrect grammar or spelling, they call me a grammar nazi. And this is one of my biggest pet peeves.
If you've ever called me or anyone else a grammar nazi, do you realize how offensive that is? Nazis were a group in World War Two that harassed, imprisoned, and killed Jewish people among several others. They were extremely racist and discriminative against the Jews as well as those who were mentally handicapped, putting outrageous numbers of innocent people in concentration camps where they were tortured until they died. They ruined the lives of billions of people in what was one of the most horrific events in history.
All I did was correct you for misplacing a comma or using the wrong 'your'. It's beyond offensive to compare that act to the acts of the Nazis, even if you're only joking.
Don't call people Nazis, okay? It's not cool.
