	https://www.ddo.com/en/news/update-23-mark-death-0 Anyone else noticed ? People from all over the world play the game so playing grammar Nazi is pretty fucking petty but advertisement page on main site, weekend before the "big launch" ? Really amateurish if you ask me.

	Those shrunken pictures look awful. They are not bad if you look at full resolution though.

	Grammar Nazi: When you have lost and really have nothing left to say and want to win. Synonym, Spelling Nazi.

	Eheh, I meant "Be a versitile operative with the new Harper Agent Enhancement Tree, available in the DDO Store and compatable with any class" in particular, because spell checks on your main site are for losers. Not the pictures. I never make fun of anyone else's Engrish, being non native speaker myself.

	Hitler's speech writer was in fact a grammar nazi.

	There should also be a colon after 23. Luckily for OP, I guess. Otherwise, he's calling misspelling "compatible" a grammar issue.

I always make fun of anyone else's Engrish, being non-native speaker myself. And when I make mistakes myself, I have the perfect alibi of Engrish being my 6th language. Bonus points for those dumb American kids spelling "would of" and typing "there" instead of "they're". When you willingly replace books as a source of education with TV and Youtube, you must suffer. Grammatik macht frei! Burn in Misspelheim!

Misspelheim does not care about the irony that it would not exist if it were correctly spelled. No Grammer Nazi worth his salt will ever leave a comment void of grammatic mistakes. Just look at the second word in this post.

It's not my fault that people call me Grammar Nazi just for correcting their spelling - you don't see them shouting "omg, Spelling Nazi!", do you? But, anyway, as promised before, my answer to this is "Engrish is my 6th language!"

	I'm in full agreement.� It may be bad form to castigate someone on a forum for poor spelling when their first language is unknown (although I will point it out if they have constructed a sentence so badly that their meaning is genuinely unclear, or worse, the opposite of what they intend) but absolutely okay to take a company to task for the same thing.� Particularly when that company is advertising from an English-speaking country, in English, to an audience that is overwhelmingly - for all that there is a reasonable international contingent - also English-speaking. It's just sloppy.� But, you know, Turbine.

	Grammar Nazai: The last attack of some one who cannot win the argument and has nothing left to counter with. Also interchangeable with topic switcher and thread hijacker.
