(I thought of putting in an intentional spelling error for someone else to catch, but figured they'd think it was an actual error, as opposed to a purposeful mistake) | ||

Actually I do remember my very feminine and yet male high school English teacher telling me about this rule. But I'm never sure, do you always capitalize a language or nationality? I will leave this mistake unedited for educational purposes. | ||

It depends. If he's referring to National Socialists in a historic sense, then yes, but as a derogatory term, then it can be lowercase as well. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Nazi 3. Sometimes Offensive . ( often lowercase ) a person who is fanatically dedicated to or seeks to control a specified activity, practice, etc.: a jazz nazi who disdains other forms of music; tobacco nazis trying to ban smoking. | ||

What might annoy the most are people saying "your" instead of "you are" or "you're", as "your" is actually a real word and as it seems more than 70% of the people seem to use it wrong nowadays, so you slightly start to read it as "you're" already and when there is actually a sentence containing the real "your" word you have to reread it because you already read it as "you're" and the sentence doesn't make sense. I believe there was something else that got so populated but I don't remember right now. | ||

Feel free to correct any common mistake that wakens the grammar nazi inside you. You should be using a semicolon after "per se", not a comma. You're separating two independent clauses. | ||

Oh, and "omnubilated" doesn't exist. It's spelled "obnubilated". "Ob" = above if I recall corectly, "nubes" = clouds. | ||
