A Spelling Nazi is a subtype of GrammarNazi, specializing in spelling. A Spelling Nazi would actively fight the RougeAnglesOfSatin. A Spelling Nazi would make sure that "definately" was replaced by "definitely" and not "defiantly." A Spelling Nazi would always spell the names of the characters, settings, attacks, and {{MacGuffin}}s in its fandom correctly if the correct spellings are known (and [[SpellMyNameWithAnS if they aren't]], then expect those of different ideologies to [[FlameWar try to tear one another's throats out over which is more "correct"]]). And [[SeparatedByACommonLanguage God save us all if a British Spelling Nazi ever meets an American one]].

[[Administrivia/TropesAreTools This isn't necesessarily a bad thing]]. Like their [[SisterTrope relatives]], the GrammarNazis, Spelling Nazis often help correct mistakes throughout the wiki, keeping it easily legible. However, all these characteristics and a tendency for obsessiveness also makes them very easy to troll, which can easily escalate into a FlameWar.

Not to be confused with ''anyone'' related to [[Creator/AaronSpelling Aaron]] or [[Series/BeverlyHills90210 Tori]].
