“Everyone in this office is a goddamn goga master, racing anxiously from one mindless task to the next as if their goddamn lives depended on it, all the while sitting and standing in harmful body positions it’s gonna take an army of chiropractors to undo.”

grammar swami

A term describing an individual who exhibits both knowledge and empathy in relation to language use. Instead of criticizing others' grammatical errors, a Grammar Swami gently and privately guides them towards more standard language practices. Their approach is focused on uplifting and educating without causing embarrassment or belittlement, emphasizing respect for each individual's unique linguistic journey and encouraging growth in a supportive, non-judgmental manner.

I met a Grammar Swami who patiently and kindly showed me how to use language better, guiding me towards improvement without making me feel embarrassed or small.
