Grammar Nazi

"Grammar Nazi" is a controversial term to describe someone who does their best to enforce and/or uphold the laws of grammar and spelling. This is sometimes used as an insult, e.g., "what are u sum knid of grammer nazi!??!", but it is a term that has been adopted with pride by many. In either case, it is considered offensive and inappropriate in many communities due to the potential trivialization of atrocities committed by real Nazis and Nazi sympathizers.

In the past, many members of the Canon Protection Initiative considered themselves Grammar Nazis, including PPCers. In the PPC, the term has fallen out of use due to the above concerns. If you encounter it in older PPC works, we can only apologize.
