True! We do have some grammar and spelling naziâs here. But, I overlook errors here. We are not here professionally. Plus, I’d be a hypocrite since I have become a bit lazy on FR myself.
But, we’re talking about media. This is their job. There is a site that I go to for local news. I think most 10 year olds can put together a proper sentence better than the folks on that site. This is what they are supposed to do. So, I am not cutting them even a tiny break. ok, I had my tantrum!
“We do have some grammar and spelling nazis here.”
In a perfect world, no one on my side of any issue would ever commit an error. Given the prevailing conditions, though, one must adopt your approach.
Still, it would be nice if one could help those who habitually make an error. Not for the purpose of self-aggrandizement or to diminish another, but to make their writing a little better. (Conversely, it might be fun to convince leftards of all sorts of silliness.)
Limbaugh habitually uses “as such” when he needs “that being the case.” I’m surprised that no one has told him. I’d certainly want to be corrected.
I think it is a mistake to condemn everyone who tries to help as a “grammar Nazi.” Imagine how much better our writing would be if we all helped each other.
