I am a Grammar Nazi. It’s kind of a problem.

Grammar nazi



Don’t want no

Would you argue with that face?




It drives them crazy.



My favorite grammar no-no’s

  • Passive voice is loved by me.
  • Short, incomplete sentences. Yes.





Because I Can Totally Get Two Blog Posts Out of my Sweet Songwriting Skills. In Which Uncle Murphy Paid a Visit to the Girl Who Won’t Stop Bragging About Vacation…Which Starts Tomorrow.


  1. I don’t even know what an ellipses is. I blocked out the name of all grammatical…things. I can only imagine the errors I make on a daily basis, but I can’t label them. That’s why I have so many friends obsessed with grammar. They rescue me when I get stuck.

  2. In high school, I used to use a red pen and correct the grammar and spelling of the notes my best friend passed to me in class. No, I do not know why she is still my friend, thirty years later. You would think she would have dropped me for being such a Grammar Nazi.

    I also love the Oxford comma. Anyone who says that it is not necessary is just wrong.

  3. Anyone who says the Oxford comma is a no-no is WRONG! I’ve never heard an argument against it that makes any sense. (Actually I’ve never heard any arguments against it… I just know it must be considered wrong because people like us are constantly defending it. Is it really just to save a character space? Whose idea was it to sacrifice clarity for one character space?)

  4. I commit every single one of the grammar faux pas you favorited. Except for the passive voice– I try to slay that dragon on a daily basis. It creeps up to undermine me when I’m attempting to fake it till I make it.

  5. My biggest pet peeves are misused apostrophe’s, messing up too/to & your/you’re and lack of Oxford commas…. see what I did their? 🙂

    (Grammar Fanatics unite!)

  6. Oh my.You sound way too much like me. Really…I use ellipses all the time. While I may over use them, I really feel the rest of the world really just under utilizes a great tool. There are rules I know and just break because I can…but does it bug you when people break the rule, but don’t have a clue that there’s a rule that they’re breaking?
