Grammar Nazi Tries To School Mark Hamill Over Grammar On Twitter, Regrets It Immediately

As a licensed English teacher, I must say that you are absolutely correct! Social posting is _usually_ first draft/rough draft writing. Being an uptight responder to casual posts says more about the corrector than the corrected.

Only posts by professional organizations, their employees or their officials need to be held to the highest standards. Those without strong communication skills need someone to triple check their work before posting.

And this is why I mostly keep my mouth shut when I see grammar mistakes.

Well, if you have a serious problem like dyslexia, why should you take issue with the correction? I mean, you've legitimate reason to make such mistakes. Even though you have no intention of doing it, it happens. The person on the other side of the keyboard doesn't know about it. Sometimes, most of the times in reality, the person is just wrong in terms of grammar, with no underlying medical condition. If that's the case, as someone that uses English as my second language, please do correct me! If I had a problem like dyslexia, I would politely inform him/her and move on. Why would I be offended for something they're clueless about? I would argue that the majority of grammar errors you see on social are not from those with such problems, but from people that should be thankful someone has taken the time to correct them. Who knows, maybe the correction might make you look good on more formal scenarios.

I am very lax on social media regarding grammar and such, not for any reason you listed...just because. But, I know when to tighten up for a resume' or writing a letter for business.

but every computer, even phones, correct your spelling, there are websites that correct grammar and believing that every person who makes mistakes has dyslexia is, well, bit naive.

I am Dutch. I experience the same things sometimes. It is so simple! I do not get why native English speakers make these mistakes. When having dyslexia, sure. But especially with English speaking friends, you would know this about them.

Yes, your quiet correct 😁

english speakers seems to have learned the spoken english first

🤣

Actually your grammar is fine. Perhaps you could have used the word 'sentence' in place of 'image' but apart from that it reads well. Mind you there are a lot of spelling mistakes.

Now I just want to tell you how you could have made it worse....ha ha

You mainly misspelled words, truly murdering grammar will look more like this: “Deer grammar Nazi’s. Im placing this hear too specifically distroy you’re entire day. Might correcting this image being the only thing youll can think about all the week.”

No, no, no, you're doing it wrong! You spelled right 14 words! Too many correct words! You failed, you have disappointed us Grammar Nazis! Do it again, and this time do it correctly WRONG.
