I probably don't get all the subtleties of the English language, but can you
exlain to me why your post is entitled "grammar nazi" (I guess "nazi" means
the same as in every language) and why the hell everybody is insulting the
guy who sent the post originally?
Thank you.
PS: strange how foreign people don't mix up "your" and "you're",
their-they're-there, too-two... Is it specific to native speakers?
