You have a comma, two buts and two ands in single sentence. Should I use apostrophe with my criticism? Do I care?

It is a symptom of intolerance, which appears to be pervasive among the left.


Witness on this site how many times liberals point out spelling errors. It is rather amusing, as it happens all the time and nearly 100% of the time the error is pointed out by a lib.

Grammer-Nazis are on both sides of thr extreme political wings. Nothing we can do about them at the moment. Grammar-Nazis checking peoples grammar, syntax and prononciation are just another form of censorship.

It enables them to avoid discussion of the actual subject of the post.

Well, I guess you could call me liberal, but I could care less about how well people spell or punctuate. I am not that great at it myself, and always had assistants who corrected my correspondence before it went out, and thank God for autocorrect on my computer.

So, how did you determine that it was only liberals who take others to task. You do have proof to give us, don't you ?

From my little knothole, this statement applies to both political extremes. The attacks on the other wing get downright silly at times. Most likely it's a product of confirmation bias.

I rarely call out spelling and grammar errors. I just couldn't resist because it was in the title of your thread, which was created for one reason--to bash "Dems."

Your response is to create a new liberal-bashing thread, so you could complain about "grammar Nazis" and assert that ONLY THE LEFT cares about spelling and grammar?

This is sad/amusing.

It's quite clear that liberals are indeed perpetually stuck in their later childhoods, with their sniffling complaining, victimhood mentality. Most of them will never grow up and take responsibility for their own actions, or even come to understand that such a thing is possible. That is why, instead of debating policy points on their merits, they rely on calling their opponents names.

We, serious adults, have tuned them all out and are going to march on with our own agenda, as they clearly have no interest in seriously doing what is correct for this country.
