I know I'm gonna seem like I'm flaming a particular member. But in all complete honesty, being a grammar nazi, and actually being proud of it is probably one of the biggest displays of f'aggotry I've ever seen.

Your definitions are very broad. So broad that it skews things.
Playing along with the thread:
My grammar brings all the girls to the yard,
and they're like: "it's better than yours".
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
but I have to charge.

Ugh, I hate bad grammar.
I was watching a TV clip on the web about Chelsea Clinton campaigning for her mom. It was a new story but referenced an event a few months old when Chelsea was asked a question by some 10 year old reporter. According to the transcription, Chelsea said (roughly) “I’m sorry, I don’t talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately, even though I think your cute.”
“Your” vs “you’re” is such a basic skill but I see it misused everywhere! And certainly the people in the media with communications degrees should be able to get it right! I was so angry that I actually looked it up and found one source that suggested it was a third grade skill.
Criticism is one of my talents, but I really don’t think proper use of “your” and “you’re” is too much to ask. I have a few grammar standards for myself (e.g. I try to use “fewer” and “less” properly (and also “e.g.” and “i.e.”  ) and I don’t fault others if they don’t know any better, but I just might think less of you if you use “your” when you should be using “you’re” and vice versa. I’ll forgive you in conversation, but not if it’s in writing (haha, homophone joke, get it?)
I’m not great at English stuff, but I do find some of it interesting and enjoy the stuff that is nit picky (that term is gross in writing) and almost like a logic puzzle. Today, I was looking at one of my pint glasses and it said “Stolen Lame Pint Glass”. I did buy it from the bar, they were just being clever since there are definitely a few that make it out without being purchased. Anyhow, I realized that the adjectives were out of order. Why would I steal a “Lame Pint Glass”? I think the point they were making was that it’s lame because it’s stolen, in which case it should be labeled a “Lame Stolen Pint Glass”.
Know what I'm saying?

I know what you're saying. The words that make me the most angry that people misuse all the time are...
1. Your/You're. This takes the cake. It's not that hard.
2. Their/There/They're. That's not that hard, either. I mean seriously, how hard is it?
3. Then/Than. Once again, it's not that hard.
People need to go back to school and learn how to communicate at a level where people won't find them stupid.

I want girls!!! Sign me up.
Wowowowowoah, you can't just become a grammar Nazi. First, you need to get ready for it mentally.
*Step 1: Think you know it all. Once you got that, then you can go two Step Two.
*Step 2: Buy a dictionairy. That'll be your ultimate tool. w/o Without it, you cannot be a grammar Nazi. You'll also need a thesaurus. nd Also, you'll need 2 to get a flame shield, because you are going to get flames like mad.
o.k. Okay, I gots da the stuff, what next?
Okay, it is time to get started as a grammar Nazi. It's really simple:
*Step 1: Go to every thread you see and fix other people's grammar.
*Step 2: When people try to flame you, edit their posts and make it them right. That'll make you look smarter!
*Step 3:...Profit!
cewl Cool, I am liek the most awesomeist. Thanks Professor Black!
Thank you! Now you're ready to be a grammar Nazi! Fixed.
