How do I achieve this award?

I always use correct grammar when I am on my laptop, or on my mobile devices.

I also encourage new/all users who talk with their '90s style text talk to use proper grammar as well. It helps bring out the quality of the community, and shows that we are not trash.

If I could find out a way to get this achievement, please let me know.

Thank you, FK.

RE: Grammar Nazi Award

I always try my hardest to use proper grammar, except when I'm messing around. I've had people from fk add me on xbox and think I'm like 18 and be shocked that I'm only 15 hahah. :p

It's pretty exclusive, and it took me quite a long time to achieve it. If I were you, I would contact staff.

RE: Grammar Nazi Award

I'm known to myself for perfecting my grammar, yet have I been awarded the Grammar Nazi.

I don't want to be a total dick by saying this, but are you sure you deserve this? It's just that I've seen some of your posts, and I wouldn't say grammar is your strength.
You're a chill guy, and your spelling is on point, but when it comes to putting together a coherent sentence, you seem to ramble, and add irrelevant words to make you sound smarter.
Anyway, best of luck getting your award.

My sentences are precise. The point of grammar is to use words that are not "plain". You may just misunderstand what I try to say. I do not like to be short with anything I say because if you just cut everything short, you leave out all the details.

But no hard feelings. You're not being a dick.

I agree and disagree with you.
Grammar, by definition, is the system of rules implicit in a language, viewed as a mechanism for generating all sentences possible in that language. Not to use big and fancy words as you mentioned.
Having good grammar, means you can communicate efficiently, it's not about how long you can make your sentence, or how much you'd like to show off your vocabulary.

I found a perfect example of this here.
From the word 'active' onward, you start to ramble, and things begin to no longer make sense.
Which means you are technically breaking the rules of grammar, as you aren't forming legible sentences.

Am I considered a random user? Lol. I would love to join to help make all the groups more active and help bring back the quality of the forum and the users themselves so that respect and reputation is gained throughout the site itself.

Anyway, I'll shut up now, because I'm not helping you at all.

RE: Grammar Nazi Award

You have to either be staff or given it by a staff member for some reason. If you look, maybe 2 or 3 of the people with it have decent grammar.

Your grammar isn't defined by big words. Haha. Wordiness can be considered incorrect. Short and sweet keeps it straight. :p

Usually it is because they are friends with someone who can grant them it or they get it by doing them a favor.
