In post 121 I accused Salvey of being a grammar nazi for correcting a poster for not spelling out the word “bot” fully, when they were providing clarity for letting us know that Delta had “bot” Northwest Airlines. My argument is that someone that knows enough about the financial dealings of an airline industry would know how to spell “bought” and maybe cared enough to get that info out their fast so that the threads discussion could be accurate.

Like many here, I prefer to read what is intended rather than how it is written. I would much rather read a brilliant misspelled written post, than a petty well polished one that adds nothing. I want people to know that they can post here with out having their accuracy graded by their 3rd grade teacher.
So I want to apologize to Salvey for my imprudence of not capitalizing the word Nazi as using the term in reference to his behavior in his post. I should have used grammar pharisee to be more accurate.

My apologies if I offended and Grammar Nazi’s on this forum. Walkingfeather.
