Grammar Nazi?

I was complaining to a colleague about how another colleague's grammar was atrocious and that it was embarrassing to the company. He went on to call me a 'Grammer Nazi'.

A Grammar Nazi is defined as :

- Someone who believes it's their duty to attempt to correct any grammar and/or spelling mistakes they observe.
- A person who believes proper grammar (and spelling) should be used by everyone whenever possible.

Haha.

Anyway, below is an except of the IM chat between said colleague and a prospect which she forwarded to the team:

L (for lame): I am interested in blah blah...

H (for hopeless): ok I would get my colleague to ring you back. Her name is ... 'name of cartoon character'...

L: she is a bear?

H: Well, it might rings like a bell but I can assure you she is not a bear...



*cues rolling of eyes*

If I am her grammar teacher, I would get her to write "ring a bell" 500 times (not ring-like-a-bell for god's sake) and " I will learn when to use present tense" 2000 times. Oh, and "when to use ring-a-bell in the right context" 10,000 times.

I am a grammar snob. Bite me. :P
