armeddon? Surely you mean "armageddon" ? Or is that a subtle joke that I am missing?

Damn, you beat me to pointing that out.

jacogsie

I'm a Grammar Nazi, not a spelling Nazi, by the way. Though I do correct spelling at times. This is not one of those times, though.

A-HA! See? They already fight amongst themselves!

jacog · 07-09-2007, 07:16 AM

We're collaborating. Language purification requires a lot of collaboration.

*bumps jacog* This job pays to well. Find your own.

I'm a femme-a-nazi.

Jazhara7 · 07-09-2007, 10:13 AM

Yes, you show him, Pinksie! How dare he assume he could take the place of either of us, the Master Spelling Nazi and Master Grammar Nazi of Adventuregamers?

You mean like Jaz's use of the word "one" rather than "either"?

Well done, my dear Journeyman Grammar Nazi! You've spotted the error I left for you to find.

We might yet make a Master out of you.

Master, why does the typo exist in the Armageddon thread?

It's a test.
All those who comment on the typos in this thread will be shanghai'd and pressed into service as wandering grammarians.
Those who try to escape will meet the wrath of Iggy.

Hush, I was hoping jacog would pick up on it.

*nudges his way*

Bah! I am a grammar ninja, a ronin warrior that has no master. You talk of money? Ha! I serve but my own code of honour.

P.S. Way to hijack a thread.

I'm a plumber from Stoke. I'm here to fix your sink.

Um, a Ninja is not the same as either a Samurai or a Ronin.

And no, I do not talk of money. I am not Tibsie's master in that I command him. I am not really *his* Master, but rather, *a* Master of my art. You know how craft guilds are organised? You start out as an apprentice, then you become a journeyman (which Tibsie is right now), and then you become a Master. You have to be a Master to be allowed to lead an organisation of the trade, and only a Master can teach a high level journeyman to become a Master. A Journeyman can teach an Apprentice of any level though, and a Journeyman that has more years of experience than another Journeyman can teach that Journeyman some things. The tests are controlled by the Master, though. It only makes sense. A Journeyman still has to learn the things a Master knows, so he couldn't teach those things yet.

So no, I do not command Tibsie, as I am not his Master. I do not have power over him in that way. I am just a teacher.

Yes, I realise that in other crafts these rules are a bit more strict, and in the past the Master of a craft might have commanded over his Apprentices and Journeymen's lives a lot more, but it is no longer that case in these modern times, and it is quite different in the Grammar Nazi trade.

I see that the grammar/spelling nazi/ninja/ronin/samauri's way to punish transgressions is to refuse to stay OT..
