G-Spark has failed us. We must elect a new Grammar Nazi.
Who should be on the poll?
I nominate Captain Zaphod Beeblebrox. Poll starts Sunday.

Remember, if you nominate someone, make sure they know they've been nominated.

I do believe so. I think she's an English teacher at least. Yeah, I think so.

Well since I can't be fired, I'd like to nominate either Archon or Rickton. Both seem like they'd be good at this, but I'm sure Rickon wouldn't be too pleased about it.

My nominees are myself (I promise to do better

) and Archon.

I don't really think we need an official grammar nazi. The populace does a good enough job on its own.
And you're right. I wouldn't want to be the official grammar nazi. I think grammar naziing is pretty pointless and irritating for the most part, unless the person doing it manages to twist the original sentence into something funny.

I don't proofread my own stuff (fortunately, I have pretty good spelling and grammar on the fly, which can get fairly important given the length of some of my posts), I'm not about to start proofreading other peoples' stuff. I can't imagine that anyone else would want that job either.

All I care about is G-Spark taking his self imposed title away

Also Clein is a teacher, and it is kinda her job already to, if not correct people's posts, at least suggest they improve the quality of the English they use in the Nova board.

Hey, my grammar and spelling suck, I just dislike Sparky the wonder dog declaring himself officially elected, that's why I originally brought it up...

Ok. So far, we've nominated G-Spark, Beeblebrox, Archon, and Cleindori. We're getting people fast. Election day is now this Saturday.

I'm dropping out. One of my recent posts has discouraged me to continue this. I'm just too dang bad at it.

Just for the record, I've purposefully still not notified Archon I nominated him.

Yeah, obviously it didn't make the upgrade. Pity, I thought it was rather funny!

Especially because it made ephrin's signature say "99% ****panzee."
