My kiddos, who were homeschooled, call me "the grammar nazi".
I'm sure they mean it as a compliment.
:rolleyes:

Psychomom, why don't they call you "The Grammar Nazi"? :D

Pet peeves, hmm... Bullies and people with no sense of humor.
 
Grammar-it saves lives!

"I like to eat grandma." vs. "I like to eat, grandma."

Hey well what do you know! Those commas are important after all! :O
 
And to tick them off, I use the other door that he or she is NOT holding open for me =P hahahaha

I wonder if anyone else feels this way, but I hate it when you are fifty feet away from the door and someone is holding it open.....the issue is that I feel pressured to run to the door quickly and it drives me up the wall, why do they even bother???

I also hate:

Loud breathers
People who have 'productive coughs' and decide to clear their lungs right in public view
Being on the transit system during rush hour and someone has their backpack dug into me

The Empress has decreed we never capitalize 'nazi', as it lends them far too much credence.

Of course, Grammar ought always to be capitalized. :)
 
Or dyslexic. If you read what I actually said, as opposed to picking pieces out of it, you will find that my problem was with people saying things like; I seen it over there. I am aware that my punctuation and spelling is not always perfect but my spoken grammer is.
 
So my pet peeves are people who take themselves too seriously. Think middle management or Dwight from the Office or people who think they are Steven Seagal, including Steven Seagal.

People who emphasize Titles, like Dr. or Captain or Pastor, as if there should be some kind of Majestic aura around them.

Also I suppose, people who can only talk about how the grass grows, what they had for lunch, how they worked out and whatever seems popular. I know they have minds of their own, and original thoughts, There really is more to life than Instagraming a Salad.
 
Things I hate....
Justin Bieber, people on cell phones, people who cant hold their alcohol, people who think small things are terrible sins, prohibitionists, KJV onlyists, YECists, Westboro baptist, jesus camp, washington dc, Baltimore MD, Hot weather, humidity, people that cant drive, being thought of as older, ignorant people, people who do something stupi then act confused when you get mad, people that use back in my day to prove a point, most rap, mtv and its non music shows, same with vh1, im going to stop now...

Oh, I have another one.
Whoever writes academic books. Yes, we know you have an education, you don't have to prove it by using ridiculous academic language instead of everyday English! (Honestly, it's like they're school children, trying to one-up each). Have they never heard of the KISS concept (not the band, Keep It Simple Stupid)? I love high-concept thinking but academic language really busts my boiler.
 
~ people who cuss (and think they're so awesome cause they did)
~ no originality
~ someone who acts like he/she cares when she/he really doesn't
~ those who insult and look down on other people just because they have something others don't have

..a lot more but those are the prime ones :D
