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.
Example:
Man this guy just pulled an empty grammar flex on me on gearslutz, check it out...
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".
