[decrepitmonkey]

I think we're on the same level.

[samatwitch]

All things I agree with and for which I have often wanted to wreak havoc myself. ;)

[AstorTim]

You ARE evil. Maybe we should team up...

[DoctorAvenue]

That was quite possibly the sexiest application yet!

Sorry for the double comment, but my last one got cut off.

Also, she used "whom" wrong. "Whom" is only used when the person being talked about is the object of a verb that includes a word like "at", "to", "for", etc. to make it work. You don't say, "whom I have to kill", but you would say, for instance, "on whom I have to vomit", or "upon whom I must release my wrath", or "for whom the time of death grows nigh".

Which makes this character both deserving of the nazi name and truly evil.

[StrunkAndWhiteKnight]

A) While split infinitives are technically legal, they're not very elegant, hence disliking them.

B) Whom is used when the pronoun is the object of ANY verb, except a verb of being. The rule is: If one would use "he", it is replaced by "who", if one would use "him", it is replaced by "whom".

I am NOT wrong.

[SamusMcAslan]

Yes, ma'am.

[SamusMcAslan]

I think what makes this extra funny is that she's wrong. Split infinitives are perfectly acceptible in the English language. The idea that it's wrong came from the idea that Latin was the ultimate language to base other languages from, and in Latin an infinitive is one word; thus spliting the infinitive is not so much wrong as impossible. But Latin-worshipping grammarians decided that this means it shouldn't be allowed in English, even though it's perfectly acceptible and possible.

amazing. great song too!

[shishkarobb]

Great job! I quake in fear of the GrammarNazi. ;)

[Yanivrozenblat]

That's great that you think that Nazi is an ok word to use in everyday life, but the truth is that people all over the world, not only here, get rattled when they hear it, its no laughing matter to many people, never mind who uses it, its never OK to take it so lightly.

[thelightgeektastic]

Dear lord. I adore you.

[timelikerain]

lmao, 'whom.' That song was really cute. I hate bad grammar. Rock on, Grammar Nazi!

[crankyemma83]

"Yes, that's right...WHOM."

Love it! Watch out for the Grammar Nazi!

[spike77707]

Using the word Nazi AND using the Nazi symbol?

That's not evil, that just improper.

[AnatineAnomaly]

[Insert Noun Here]-Nazi is a pretty common turn of phrase in pop culture; this fine woman is not the first to use the term Grammar Nazi.

In other news, that is definitely not a swastika. You might want to pay more attention in History class.

[Yanivrozenblat]

Just because a lot of people use it, it doesn't mean it isn't still offensive to an entire nation.

And about the 'swastika' remark, its is an imitation of the symbol to fit the "Grammar" part of the video.

For me its not history, its the lives of relatives that proceed me that were lost because of the Nazis, so trust me while i tell you that i know enough about how everything looks.

Now i would appreciate if you dignify this enough not to reply with more small-minded opinions, thank you.

[AnatineAnomaly]

Woah, woah! I lost family to the Nazis, too; please don't act like I'm trying to be a jerk. I know precisely how horrible it was and have plenty of respect for the losses that millions suffered. By using 'Grammar/Soup/Spoon Nazi,' I'm making fun of the bastards, because humor is how I, and many others, deal with horrible things and the Nazis were, in fact, bastards. In my view, parodying the Star of David would be foul. The Nazis are fair game.

Just one small minded opinion to another.
