“You are the grammar Fuhrer. All bow to your authority. You will crush all the inferior people under the soles of your jackboots, and any who question your motives will be eliminated. Your punishment is being the bane of every other person’s existence, because you’re constantly contradicting stupidity. Everyone will be gunning for you. Your dreams of a master race of spellers and grammarians frighten the masses. You must always watch your back. If only your power could be used for good instead of evil.” - [Grammar Quiz]
UPDATE There was some confusion because I linked to the wrong quiz. Here is the one that was linked before — the one that gives you a “God” status, instead of a being labeled a “Fuhrer”: [How grammatically sound are you?]
If I had written the test, I would have include choices containing the following “words”: [r, u, ur, OMG, LOL, ROFL, ROFLMAO, etc.]. Anyone who happened to choose one of those as valid for use would be first flagellated mercilessly with their keyboards and then banned from all further electronic communication.
Yeah, I hate (u, r, ur), too, mainly because they’re lazy abbreviations that don’t save the typer that much effort. Of course, I still use capital letters to start my sentences, so that makes me some kind of Furher, I suppose. The other ones you listed are fine with me, since they are acronyms.
I guess I object to those specific acronyms because of my own association of their use with folks who also use (u, r, ur) — folks who also happen to be more likely to use the ultimate of annoyances: alternating caps and lowercase. Just go visit any tagboard you find in a typical teenager’s journal, and you’ll likely see all of my grievances consolidated into one convenient location. Maybe I’m just getting old and cranky. :)
I rated a grammar god. Didn’t see the grammer Fuhrer. That must be if you get all the answers right :)
Ditto on the God thing. Wonder if someone thought that Fuhrer was offensive?
hmm…i’m only a master. i’m curious as to which problems i got wrong. do they have the correct answers anywhere?
