1Certain members of this website, ones whom this troper suspects to be, more or less, illiterate, have accused intelligent tropers of being {{Grammar Nazi}}s. This troper wants to fight this evil plague of stupidity. Anyone who wants to join [[FunWithAcronyms S.H.I.T. D.I.C.K. A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S.]] (Stop Having Idiotic Tantrums, Dumb Illiteracy Communist Kooks, All Stupid Shit Has Obdurate, Ludicrous Excess, Silliness) should sign up here:
2
3* Tropers/{{Assassin}} wants a sentence to end with a goddamn punctuation mark.
4** Does "lol" count as punctuation these days? It sure seems to be used as punctuation most of the time.
5* Tropers/{{Archabacteria}} blames Communism for everything that is currently wrong with the world. Yes, even greedy corporations.
6* Tropers/{{Dukia}}
7* Tropers/{{mrbing0}} notices that this page isn't alphabetized.
8* Tropers/{{randomfanboy}}
9* Tropers/{{Houston}} wants to know what the commas did to you. Did they steal your yo-yo when you were a child or break your stickball bat?
10* Tropers/{{IBlameCommunism}} blames Communism for illiteracy. Heil, Kameraden!
11* Tropers/{{Kriegsmesser}} blames illiteracy for Communism. Has anyone even ''read'' the Manifesto?
12* Tropers/{{Belfagor}} did. And despite being a [[KnightTemplar diehard]] Marxist-Leninist, he's in. He blames illiteracy for anti-Communist revisionism.
13* Tropers/{{Sirkrunk}}
14* Tropers/{{Fighteer}}
15* Tropers/{{Rikka}}
16* Tropers/TheTallOne
17* Tropers/{{Bloodthirster}} will take any excuse he can get to take some skulls.
18* Tropers/{{Umbee}} understands the occasional typo, but thinks that repeated spelling errors are a sign of either idiocy or laziness.
19* Tropers/{{Queen of Dorkness}} wishes to repay those who have crushed the poor semicolon beneath the bootheels of obscurity [[HypocriticalHumour , comma splices must be abolished]].
20* Tropers/{{Morbius}} shall avenge the capital letters. They were nearly wiped out.
21* Tropers/{{Av12971}} has joined the party.
22* Tropers/MorkaisChosen has more of a problem with illiteracy than Communism.
23* Tropers/{{L3wt}} will not let the wiki turn into something resembling ''Fanfic/MyImmortal''. Please, think of the [[WantonCrueltytoTheCommonComma commas!]]
24* Tropers/{{sithlordservo}} fights the good fight for the commas and the Capital Letters [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial and is absolutely definitely not serving as a double agent of the Illiteracy Communists]].
25* Tropers/DeusExBiotica is mostly seeking self-aggrandizement.
26* Tropers/{{Game Chainsaw}} thinks that the quality of the grammar here is really very good, but nonetheless agrees that [[GrammarNazi the illiteracy communists must be hunted down and butchered one by one! Spellcheck shall rise again!]] [[ArtisticLicenseHistory We shall fight typos on the beaches! We shall fight them on the streets! We shall fight them in the hills! We shall never surrender!]]... wait... [[CaptainObvious I think I went wrong somewhere here...]]
27* Tropers/DunDun is a copy editor and will treat most articles as a copy.
28* Tropers/{{LadyKnighted}} is a firm believer in basic language skills for those who claim literacy.
29* Tropers/LockonLockon, we must prevent syntax genocide! Fünf Vokals (und zuweilen y), ein Semikolon, EIN ENGLISCH!!!
30* [[Tropers/MacPhisto Let the cleansing begin!]]
31* @/{{Malchus}} is just in this for the the t-shirts and the hats. Honestly, the Nazis had the best clothes. Then again, so did the Soviets...
32* Tropers/{{Auztria}} is very dismayed by the mangling of the King's English he witnesses on a daily basis.
33* Tropers/TheGreatUnknown will defend the English language to the last.
34* Tropers/{{Elmarien}} fights on two battlefronts: English and Portuguese. Commas and accents are not pills - stop swallowing them.
35* SS-Standartenführer Tropers/{{Octane}}, Nr. 3 Polizei-Maschinenschreiber Regiment, 4.SS-Division (mot.) meldet sich zum Dienst! Heil der Grammatik! o/
36* [[Tropers/MiriaRose MiriaRose]] für Grammatik und Ehre!
37* Tropers/BishopRodan will stop at nothing to eliminate the filthy illiterate Untermensch.
38* Tropers/{{Myshii}} has no idea why she is on this page but understands that there is the possiblity of killing some shit and then painting said shit purple, possibly with a slegehammer.
39* Tropers/TacoNinja wants the world to know that the number '2' is not a proper substitute for the word 'to' in SCHOOLWORK.
40* Tropers/TheOneWhoTropes wird Website/TVTropes vor den bösen, analphabetischen, kommunistischen Horden verteidigen! Heil Spellcheck! o/ Translation: Will defend [=TVTropes=] from the evil, illiterate Communist hordes! More a Spelling Nazi than a GrammarNazi, I mean, how did 150+ articles get the word villian in them?
41** Tropers/{{loulikessoup}} doesn't want to join, but still feels the need to [[SincerityMode respectfully and without wanting to personally offend anyone]] point out that it's " ... wird [=TVTropes=] ''vor'' den bösen, ''analphabetischen'', kommunistischen Horden verteidigen", to remind even the most idealistic amongst us that there's always room for self-improvement.
42** Tropers/TheOneWhoTropes wants to remind Tropers/{{loulikessoup}} that [[OrwellianRetcon it has ALWAYS been that, always been what you wrote underneath.]]
43* Tropers/{{happymediocrity}}: Reread what you typed. Then, edit as necessary. It's not that hard.
44* Tropers/{{HeartBurn Kid}} wants to remind you that, when you obviously are not bright enough to find the shift key or the comma key on your keyboard, it instantly says to anybody who's reading, "I have no idea what I'm talking about! About any subject! IGNORE ME!" As well, it makes your writings difficult to read, so even if one wanted to know what the hell you're trying to say (and I don't), it'd be hard to figure it out. And I'm pretty sure it causes the deaths of various small, cute animals somewhere in the world.
45* Tropers/{{kittengrl39}}, despite her name, is a dedicated opponent of those who use [[FunetikAksent Funetik Spelling]] and apparently skipped their first-grade English class.
46* Tropers/{{Technonarrator}}. This troper considers anyone who cannot use proper spelling and grammar except when they are doing so for the sake of sarcasm and humor to be in dire need of a "Attention and Care" transplant. We should start a list.
47* Tropers/RainingMetal is ready to send those Commies running back to their mommies!
48* Tropers/SickleYield keeps a comma shelter in her basement.
49* Tropers/AryaAdrianiel has lost all faith in the human race due to the poor grammar and spelling that is becoming the norm.
50* Tropers/SabreJustice: KILL! MAIM! BURN! KILL! MAIM! BURN! KILL! MAIM! BURN! KILL! MAIM! BURN! KILL! MAIM! BURN! KILL! MAIM! BURN! And so on.
51* @/GamerAmI will use all resources at his disposal to hunt down these illiteracy communists until not a single one remains on the internet! Alright, [[BlatantLies not really]]; I don't have the necessary resources to do that.
52* Tropers/{{Unclebella}} thinks that people should at least capitalize words at the beginning of the sentence. Please?
53* [[Tropers.AOTKorby AOTKorby]] would like to strangle someone every time he sees a word misspelled or misused on the wiki.
54* Tropers/{{Artemis92}}, while bang alongside the idea of purposefully misspelling words to show dialect/the lack of education of the speaker, will not tolerate people who cannot write a coherent sentence ''in their native freaking language.''
55* Tropers/{{Schezar}}, will [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] ''annihilate'' you if you spell "more" [[TooDumbToLive "moar"]]
56* @/TripleElation dies a little bit inside every time an edit abuses ellipses...then fails to put spaces after them,or any other punctuation mark for that patter,and put the apostrophe's where they dont belong rather than where they do,it should go without saying though that semicolons are out of the question,everyone knows run-on sentences...are the best...haha...
57* Tropers/{{ZellThe5th}} notes the red-clawed literacy fiends and their cursed ilk as a primary reason behind his request for a 'Smite' button in the Darth Wiki Tech Wish List. He also suspects that they may have been the bane of his forebears.
58* [[ShrinkingViolet Um... hi guys.]] [[{{Tropers/Joerc45}} I]] wish to join. I dislike poor grammar just as much as the rest of you.
59* Tropers/{{Anima}} is going insane from seeing people her age type with less coherence and respect for grammar rules that she learned in second grade.
60* {{Life in General}} supports this organisation. Grammar and spelling are causes that are dear to my heart, and I would gladly take up arms in their defence. Before I commit myself, however, I would like to be sure that Commonwealth spelling is acceptable here.
61* Tropers/{{desdendelle}} wants people to acknowledge the existance of English grammar. All Hail English Punctuation!
62** But not the existence of spelling, apparently.
63* @/{{Gumbal1}} hates bad grammar and has joined.
64* Tropers/{{rikalous}} believes that spelling and grammar corrections should be taken as a friendly gesture rather than an act of hostility, and that most people on the internet have no reason to type like they have ten seconds to reveal the villain's plot and tell their wife they love her.
65* Tropers/{{SheWhoChewsGum}} has had it with these motherfuckin' grammar problems on this motherfuckin' site!
66* {{Rosepetal}} owes her GrammarNazi tendencies to being raised by an English teacher.
67* Tropers/{{Midtime}} does not recognise the human right to change at leisure a language they do not understand.
68* @/{{GameSpazzer}} will not rest until the internet is forever rid of people wHo type liek dis!1eleven. HEIL GRAMMAR!
69* Tropers/{{Anomaly188}} wishes to eradicate long winded sentence structure and the black plague of purple prose! Remember: Punctuation is your friend, motherfuckers!
70* Tropers/{{Ehekatl}} wants everyone to remember the classic rule. Either have one or three periods. Trying to show a pause in fifty-four periods is just annoying, and makes you look like you're trying to rewrite ''My Immortal''.
71* Tropers/{{Jaunebleu}} hears the screams of dying kittens every time a fellow troper uses incorrect grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation. Capitalize the first letter of every sentence, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitches]]!
72* Tropers/{{B2WM}} can forgive some html errors, but not homonym confusion. If she must loose the Wargs upon your illiterate ass, you will lose.
73* Tropers/{{ChrisWWII}} continues to fight losing battles for the glory of grammar on several other forums. He will not stand for grammar being defeated on TV Tropes as well! For grammar! For the Emperor!
74* Tropers/StFan would fight for English Grammar just as well as French grammar. Especially the irrational hatred toward the hyphen so often witnessed on this Wiki.
75* Tropers/{{OsmosisD}} regrets the fact that many forums and comment pages lack edit buttons. He also regrets those literary mistakes that he cannot fix for that idiotic reason alone. He is so peeved by this, he might just go and hack said websites to fix any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors present.
76* Tropers/{{CactusWren}} is going to beat with a railroad tie the next person who responds to a criticism of grammar or syntax with a whine of, "But language CHAYYYYYYYYNNNN-jez!" If thinking that ''words mean things'' makes her one of those evil Prescriptivists... then yeah, she's a Prescriptivist.
77* ShinyManaphy: Yes, I'm dyslexic, but at least *I* reread my writing so that it's legible! (I apologise for any mispellings or grammatical errors, but I'm fairly sure that I went back and got them all.)
78* While Tropers/{{RaichuKFM}} is more loyal to the Reichswehr (Germany's army during and before WWI), he is willing to help the cause in its present incarnation.
79* Tropers/{{Makkine}} will violently dismember anyone who lines up multiple exclamation marks!!!!!! She also hates the word "anyways"!!!!
80* Tropers/{{chalcedony}} wishes to annihilate anyone who cannot construct a sentence with the proper spelling, grammar, capitalisation and punctuation it deserves, regardless of language. She's also part-German and hates it when people cannot even use their own native language properly.
81* Tropers/{{Ledah}} wishes that people would just learn how to spell.
82* Tropers/{{Dimonite}} would like people to use the English Language CORRECTLY. USE YOUR ADVERBS, PEOPLE.
83* Tropers/{{Andygal}} would like people to not abbreviate the word "you". Really how hard is it to type two extra letters? Every time I see "u" I want to strangle somebody. If that makes me a Grammar Nazi then so be it.
84* Tropers/{{BaronOfStuff}} is sick to the back teeth of seeing the unfathomably incorrect spelling of simple words, shorthand 'txt spk' used out of laziness/stupidity, and other miscellaneous abuse of the English Language (or any other language for that matter) to the point that he now often feels the urge to drown random strangers when visiting ANY website, due to the rampant idiocy present with the majority of internet users. "Ein Volk! Ein Pakt! Ein TV Tropes!"
85* Tropers/{{incendiarist}} would like to see sentences writ with a single ending punctuation mark, is all. She also wouldn't object to common usage of diacritical markings where applicable. [[FauxAffablyEvil Or she could just kill you.]]
86* Tropers/{{hieronymuserroneous}} would be elated if your nouns were accompanied by appropriate articles or if you were accustomed to giving your entries a once-over just to ensure that they are comprehensible to anyone but you.
87* Tropers/{{alethiophile}} loves semicolons to the point of overusing them; it occasionally gets tiresome, but it works; he has been able to write entire technically grammatically correct pages without ever using any sentence-ending punctuation, and revels in it, despite the utter incomprehensibility of such work; in addition, he is of the considered opinion that the style of vocabulary selection commonly referred to on Website/ThisVeryWiki as SesquipedalianLoquaciousness is that of the highest possible order of quality, and defies any lesser grammarian to protest.
88* Tropers/{{TiberiusBlaze}} tinks IliteracyComunists suck lulz. Seriously though, I ''do'' blame Communists for everything wrong in the world. Furthermore I don't see anything wrong with greedy corporations.
89* Tropers/{{lambrequinprincess}} would be satisfied by even the most basic adherence to the rules of grammar, in both English and Chinese. Sadly, it seems that half the internet is incapable of noting the differences between "your" and "you're", "their" and "they're", and "their" and "there".
90* Tropers/{{CockroachED}} believes even though English is a bastard language you should never treat it like a bastard child.
91* Tropers/{{Kroozer101}} feels that the shift key does not get enough love. Nor does the comma, or, indeed, many of the readily-available marks of punctuation.
92* Tropers/{{Iydak}} agrees with the above; too many avoid the semicolon.
93* Tropers/{{Dellanotte}} wishes that the people who created Spellcheck had a full understanding of proper grammar, and she prays that the people engaging in the free-spirited activity that is writing will not rely solely on a machine to verify their work.
94* Tropers/IAmNotCreativeEnough firmly believes that somebody should teach people that 'Your' and 'You're' are not the same word.
95* Tropers/KlarkKentThe3rd actually likes the name Grammar Nazi; [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/238/621/522.gif DEAL WITH IT.]]
96* Tropers/LoveHateAngst wants you to know that two words that are spelled similarly are not synonyms for one another. [[YouKeepUsingThatWord The first word spell check suggests for you to use is not always the correct one.]]
97* Tropers/{{homayoon}} also wants to register his disgust with those who don't spend half their life fixing every word they write. It's really easy; you re-read and re-read until no mistake is found in three consecutive audits.
98* Tropers/{{SUPERGEX}} WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS [[{{ThirdPersonPerson}} HIS]] DISAPPROVAL OF PUNCTUATION AND CAPITAL IGNORANCE. [[{{NoIndoorVoice}} AS YOU CAN SEE, HE IS OBVIOUSLY TAKING A STAND AGAINST THIS RAMPANT STUPIDITY AT THIS VERY MOMENT.]]
99* Tropers/{{mrgate3}}'s post signature says it all: "If you struggle with fifth-grade spelling and grammar, it's pretty safe to assume that Poli Sci 101 is over your head."
100* Tropers/{{TheNessFan}} detests disorder in grammar. Just ask anyone he knows. Grammar Nazi is one of the few instances where the term "Nazi" is dignified. Oh, and despite the fact that he usually ends his posts in ellipses, he hates it when people know not how to use punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and definitions of words...
101* Tropers/{{Achyfi}} isn't the kind to pass up joining a cult, let alone a LITERARY cult.
102* Tropers/{{TheLunchster}} will destroy all communists! Destroy! Destroy! [[NeverSayDie DESTROY!]]
103* Tropers/{{Sekantti}} is dismayed by the number of unintentional grammatical errors she found on this very page. Admittedly most of them were in German, which is presumably not the native language of the relevant tropers, but still...
104* Tropers/{{Trilandian}} can't stand it when people misuse apostrophes.
105* Tropers/{{RallyBot2}} despises people who don't know basic English, unless they have a very good reason...
106* Tropers/MaxwellDaring is online! All systems nominal! Weapons hot! Mission: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298Cw3_qGwE the destruction of any and all Illiteracy Communists!]]
107* Tropers/MayIncon: We live in an era where the proper usage of "your", "you're", "they're" and "their" are shunned to the lowest point. THIS MUST END. If we're not the ones fighting against Illiteracy Communists who will?
108* Tropers/{{RandomTroperWhoLikes1R}} agrees with everything that has been said above and would like to add that people should learn proper grammar as soon as possible because it's not that hard to use proper English.
109* Tropers/{{rTicWolf}} This pack is strong. I shall join this pack. I pledge to hunt down all those who use "than" when they mean "then", and "then" when they mean "than", and edit their entries!
110* Tropers/{{HammerOfJustice}} will bring down the gavel of grammar upon the illiterate
111* Tropers/{{Ryanasaurus0077}}: Heil Spellcheck!
112* Tropers/{{agigabyte}}: I hate it when people abuse the English language. I will use my position as a member of the Library of the Damned to help your cause.
113* Tropers/TheKaizerreich: As a member of the [[GrammarNazi Grammar Gestapo]], The Kaizerreich will have been supportive of your noble cause that is defeating the stupidity of the internet, beginning on this very website.
114* Tropers/NhazUl hates anything and everything that calls itself communist. He also finds himself rather irritated when people talk about doing something in a certain "manor" while referring to the way the act in question is performed and not the location being a BigFancyHouse.
115* Tropers/{{InfinityRyujin}} is just here for the food and drinks. However, being able to defend the English language from those who would butcher it is a nice bonus.
116* Tropers/{{Mephes1}} has a firm belief that you should know how to SPELL before you become a troper. Judging by some people's grammar, this doesn't seem to be a requirement here.
117* Tropers/{{RoninMacbeth}} [[WellIntentionedExtremist believes that literacy is so important, he will establish a dictatorship where the only crime is illiteracy.]]
118* Tropers/{{Daethalion}} will take a stand against those subversive fools who believe that ellipses are a substitute for punctuation (all punctuation)!
119* Tropers/{{PatPayne}} doesn't want to live in a world where "Ginormous" is considered a word. A pox on it! A pox, I say! *ptui! ptui!*
