Why do Pilkunnussija's exist?

[DustyDrB]

Wow, you managed to find a word so obscure that this thread comes up 6th on Google search.

It was the fifth result when I Googled it. OP: Grammar Nazi is easier to say and is a word that people have actually heard before.

People complain about gramer becase bad speling is destractung, and can relly confuse a point in argue.

Dman rite.

Though I tend to not point it out most of the time. I'd hate to criticize someone and then find out they are dyslexic or something. Then I'd just feel like a jackass. Though there is someone on this site who has such a tenuous grasp of the English language that I actually enjoy reading his posts just to try to decipher their meaning. I feel like Nathan Drake when I figure those riddles out.

My one quibble, though: Definitely

You definitely loved that grilled cheese sandwich.

You didn't defiantly love that grilled cheese sandwich, because it is expected of the normal sane human being to love such fine foods. That is, unless you you mean you defiantly made love to that sandwich, in which case your grammar is going to be put on the backburner in lieu of more pressing matters.

You didn't definately do anything, because "definately" isn't a word.

As a finnish man, I was immensely confused by seeing that word on this forum. I always thought Grammar Nazi is the international name for people who fit that description. Oh well. I learn something new every day.

Lets think about this. You're Finnish, right? If I came to your country, phrasebook clenched in my anglo-saxon mitt, and started talking at you in horribly butchered Finnish I imagine it would annoy you.

You'd think, "who is this shithead and why the fuck is he yammering at me? Do I look I like I'm specifically employed to direct retards to the station?" and no doubt you would become impatient. Perhaps even angry.

It is really not so different with forums and criticisms of shoddily worded posts. I mean the occaisonal 'e' out of place or the odd 'teh' now and then are harmless but when you see someone who clearly has no clue whatsover it is upsetting.

I?m not Finnish, I?m Canadian, I?ve just learned alot about other countries and their customs and language as most people in Canada have. I just wanted to screw with the escapists a little bit for the lol?s. See what the trolls came up with; that kinda thing.

But yes I have to agree with you that very bad posts that have no grammar or spell checks are unreadable? The thing is people can ignore them and not go through them and tell the person exactly where they went wrong like it?s a religion.

Even then some people take it too far, any post that has any mistake, some people just need to fix; as I said above yay for undiagnosed OCD.

Bullshit, you found the word on another forum / website, googled it, found out it meant grammar nazi and then decided to make some thread using it in an attempt to make yourself seem clever and aloof. Not, of course, realizing that everyone else upon hearing the word, would merely do the same and thus render whatever fictional air of intelligence that existed in your brain moot.

OT: What does it matter? Some people just have such pathetically dull lives that they need to correct internet grammar in order to fill the day. There is a time and place for everything.

I try to make my writing as clear as possible. I have Dyslexia and it sometimes is a struggle but I think I'm getting better at it.

I can't through stones myself.

BECAUSE IF WE DON'T PICK OUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH A SENTENCE, THEN SOMETHING WILL BE WRONG ON THE INTERNET.

AND THEN THE INTERNET WILL LOSE ALL OF ITS HARD EARNED CREDIBILITY AND WILL BE RELEGATED TO THE NOT-ART TRASHBIN.

WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sir, I just wanted to correct you on your egregious misuse of capital letters.

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

The English language really does need a word for Pilkunnussija, I suppose we can keep calling them grammar nazis.

OT: Because sometimes correction someone else makes you feel all fuzzy inside, especially if that person is being an twat.

I think I misplaced my capslock before.

I actually have diagnosed OCD, thank you very much.
...not the anxiety disorder, though, just the personality disorder. I couldn't really care less if you don't want to bother with learning how words function... I just lose a bit of respect for ya if you don't.

If I knew what the hell that was I could probably tell you.

Hmmm...yes, that is better. I do ask that you refrain from posting using the color red, as that hue is only for use by those of us within the Grammar Nazi hierarchy. This is just a warning, though further infractions will result playground restriction for no less than one week.

I have now read several posts around this thread, and looked up that massive word from the title that I'm too lazy to spell. I've decided that this topic is about one of three things:

A. Grammar Nazis
B. Finnish people who have a sexual attraction to punctuation marks.
C. Finnish people who have a sexual attraction to animals. (So basically just Finnish people.)[footnote]JOKE! That was a joke. I know it didn't really make any sense. I'm sorry. Please don't quote me.[/footnote]

CONCLUSION: Finland is weird.

HEY!
My great uncle's step-sister's niece owned a dog whose breed originated in Finland!
Apologize or face the horrible repercussions (which may have to do with deportation to Finland)!

Hey! I WAS part of the Grammar Nazis before we started enforcing capitalization in terms of angry screaming...

 

[Zhukov]

Before I googled "Pilkunnussija", I was considering pointing out your incorrect (and in hindsight probably intentional) use of the apostrophe.

True story.

 

[DustyDrB]

Ugh...a proto-Grammar Nazi. Look, I appreciate what you guys did in the beginning. But you all went way off track later on. Your type give Nazis a bad name.

Gawrshdrattit, man, give me some credit! I personally removed a fake who attempted to "tkae over" the Grammar Nazi party! At great personal risk, I may add!

Just give me a chance... please?

As an American that hears English butchered by foreigners all the time I have to say it really doesn't bother me. In fact hearing all the different accents, and taking time to appreciate the sometimes strange phraseology adds variety to my life.

*googles the term*
Oh... So its like a grammar nazi?
I guess they're there for the same reason why trolls, fetishists, bronies, etc. are here.
You can't wipe them out from the internet anyway, and its not like they know where you live and can hurt you riraqytfsigsljnkm;p;lgmndbavnbihkr

Ohmigod, adorable baby!

Fine. You know the process. You are to proofread for a year the papers of one Edward "G-Money" Denning, a seventh grade student attending a nearby school. Note that the use of the color red is still restricted during this probationary period. This is for me. We will review your re-admittance upon completion with your time with Edw- ahem, G-Money.
