My Wife Sent me this brilliant idea via e-mail upon reading my previous post on the word "Media".
"They should make a Bud Light 'Real Men of Genius' commercial about the Grammar Nazi."
I felt the idea deserved a post of its own. I've made some small changes, and edited for style, but this is mostly her (surprisingly creative) work.
Narrator:
Today we salute YOU, Mr. Grammar correction Nazi.
Dramatic Singer:
Mr. Grammar Correction Na-a-ZI!
Narrator:
You can't listen to your friends, the radio, or even your own aunt, the English teacher, without making comments like, "Actually, it's 'intents AND purposes' not 'intensIVE purposes'"
Dramatic Singer:
"You KNOW what I me-ant!"
Narrator:
"The average person wouldn't know how to pluralize medium, but you, O defender of the English language, you know it's 'media', and not 'mediums'"
Backup Singers:
"You gotta' know your Latin"
Narrator:
"So keep on catching those dangling participles, O sentry of the semicolon; because when it comes to punctuation, you're the best. Period.
Dramatic Singer:
"Mister Grammar Correction Na-a-zi"
