Here is an example as might happen in the forum of an unreleased video game:

Original Poster:

Grammar Nazi:

Original Poster:

Moderator:
Troll, stop trying to derail threads, this is your first warning, two more and it's a ban.
And Grammar Nazi, don't correct people's grammar in a thread, if you absolutely MUST do it, send a private message instead so it doesn't clutter up the forum!
