User blog comment:John Breasly/Request: Re-creation of the "Grammar SS" (Passed)/@comment-3112181-20120115212858

Okay, everyone, look. This was taken from Dictionary.com:

"Na·zi [naht-see, nat-] Show IPA noun, plural -zis, adjective noun

1. a member of the National Socialist German Workers' party of Germany, which in 1933, under Adolf Hitler, seized political control of the country, suppressing all opposition and establishing a dictatorship over all cultural, economic, and political activities of the people, and promulgated belief in the supremacy of Hitler as Führer, aggressive anti-Semitism, the natural supremacy of the German people, and the establishment of Germany by superior force as a dominant world power. The party was officially abolished in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II.

2. ( often lowercase ) a person elsewhere who holds similar views.

3. ( often lowercase ) a person who is fanatically dedicated to or seeks to control a specified activity, practice, etc. ex: a jazz nazi who disdains other forms of music

PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO THE 3RD DEFINITION. "a person who is fanatically dedicated to or seeks to control a specified activity, practice, etc."

So, if you stick the word "Grammar" in front of it, that means we are obsessed (fanatically dedicated to) with grammar. I don't see any sort of offense in that, considering it is a legit definition.
