It's also typical to stand up in the audience of the kindergarten nativity and shout "Mary and Joseph weren't wearing teatowels on their heads!" and when the other parents turn and angrily "ssssh!" you, shout "shhh'd for telling the TRUTH! I thought this was a place of education and learning! Stay classy, parents".

"Happy birthday dear grandma, happy birthday to youuuu"

"Grandma's birthday was YESTERDAY you fuckin' liars!"

> "My friend the tax accountant gets downvoted for clarifying how taxes actually work."

> "My wife the linguist gets downvotes for explaining no that's not how language works."

A casual chat interrupted by tax pedantry and grammar naziing. I have no idea why people wouldn't want that. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

To be honest, I was debating on even posting my message initially. It was off topic but I figured it would've been ignored. If I knew it was going to derail the discussion about Stratoscope's analysis that much, I wouldn't've posted it.

Edit: Also grammar nazi'ing has little to do with linguistics and more to do with being a jerk...usually.
