Just saw this on FB, thought the OT would enjoy this considering how many grammatical Nazis lurk on TD.

This is not grammar nazi material. No; these things should be mastered before high school.

y'all = you all

preferred for plural 2nd person address over:

-"you" though grammatically correct, does not signify single or multiple
-"you guys" despite more widespread acceptance, implies all male presence

I've never understood the whole grammar Nazi thing - at least during a heated discussion or argument. Words are the medium of communication on message boards and social media. When someone tries to make a point or win an argument, they're ostensibly doing so from a position of knowledge - or at least that's what they want others to think. When such a person stumbles over basic grammar and spelling, their status as the smartest person in the room should get questioned. Most often they reply with the modern day "your mamma" - dropping out a grammar Nazi reference, which is a complete non sequitur to whatever it was they were talking about.
