Grammarly

A monolingual beta who forces me to show confidence. Even when you tone it down it still forces you with the premium corrections cuz you can still see the yellow lines of the premium correction even if you have the free version.
Person: I kind of learned this (meaning they may not have really learned it well)
Grammarly: You mean "I learned this", be confident ^^

Grammar Nationalist

A type of Grammar Nazi who is particular to using the British/Canadian way of spelling words as opposed to the American spellings. Words such as "favorite" or "color" especially annoy the Grammar Nationalist.
MSN/Facebook Chat:
Person 1: What colour is your new car?
Person 2: It's a bluish/greyish color.
1: Sorry, what?
2: It's a bluish color like your girlfriend's car.
1: "Color"?

2: God damn it, you're such a grammar nationalist!

Empty Grammar Flex

An Empty Grammar Flex, or EGF, is when a user on a forum or comment thread attempts to gain leverage on other users by correcting the spelling and/or grammar of the other users in place of or in addition to focusing on content.

Quote:

"Please, please kill the RCA cable. They're not really even called RCA cables. I don't even know what they're real names are. RCA's just a company, they' didn' invent this stupid unbalanced cable "

1- Please check your history before complaining; RCA did invent the connector used in "phono" cables. it was in the early 1940s.

2- please check your grammar; there is a difference between "they're" and "their".

Gangsta Grammar

Gangsta Grammar is the set of grammatical rules to write in English like a real gangsta ass nigga.

Rules are different from hood to hood, but some of the essential rules are:

1) If a word ends in "s", replace the s with z.
2) Spell thang instead of thing, sum instead of some, tha instead of the.
3) Never conjugate the verb to be.
4) Put "dem" before plurals.
5) Add "done" in sentences in the present. ex: "Dem copz done shot my nigga".
6) Say "cuh" every other word.
7) Remove the "g" from gerunds and add '.
