+2,140 Logically, Grammar Nazis must be led by some sort of Grammar Hitler and allied with a Spelling Stalin. It is only a matter of time before Diction Kamikazes show up and we are plunged into Word War II, amirite?

Did we even have a Word War 1?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It was caused by the "Great Typo Blight of 1984", also known as, "The Day of Spilled Ink". There were many typos in the Websters Dictionary, that were so horrid, it caused a huge uproar, leading to a large chain of events, that would eventually ignite the first Word War. At the time it was called, "The Great Word". After the War, dictionary companies and skilled linguists had a conference to determine what words would, and wouldn't be in the dictioanry, gramarians felt 'dissed', because now no one cared about grammar, only spelling. In order to restore their claim to power in the world of written language, the grammar nazis were formed, unofficially at first, but soon were acknowledged by the world.

Why, thank you. :) I was inspired by the book, "The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl". Fanboy comes up with a story about what caused the great depression and calls it: "The Great Tortoise Blight". It was hilarious, because the teacher actually believed the story.

Hitler wasn't allied by Stalin...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

ono "In 1939 [...] Stalin decided to enter into a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany..."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That still doesn't really make them allies, does it? I don't know that much about world war 2 but as far as i remember they weren't exactly "best buddies".

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Just because you're allies doesn't mean you are "best buddies."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But still, agreeing not to attack eachother (yet) does not equal an ally. They didn't work together.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You don't have to be best buddies to be allies. America is allied with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Hitler and Stalin divided Poland between them. Then two years after the pact, Hitler broke by invading Russia after he failed to bomb London into submission. 20 million dead Russians later, the European war was over. But those two years before 1941 still count as being allies.

Stalin and Hitler hated each other, Hitler was completely against communism and only formed the treaty so he would not have to fight against two fronts, after the attack on England failed and he turned towards Russia. Just a little History fun fact for ya. Also Hugo Boss designed the Nazi Uniforms. So uh yeah. Now you know (light happy music plays)

And IBM designed the machines used to sort the Jewish slaves in the concentration camps.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

BMW and other European car companies designed cars that filtered the exhaust back into the cars to kill Jews on the way to concentration camps. Then that wasn't effective enough, so they created gas chambers.
