I forgot the Grammar Nazi would be on

39 Comments

So I have my MacBook all reimaged with the apps and software that I need back on it.  My printer/scanner/copier/fax is set back up wirelessly so I can use that thing once again.  What I have apparently forgotten is the good people at Apple have set the OS so the Grammar Nazi kicks in automatically and is laid out on me without a choice just like a Trump Executive Order.

I don’t like to capitalize when I’m writing comments.  That’s my little act of rebellion yet the Mac Grammar Nazi disagrees with me and lets me know that I’m not e.e. cummings.

I type the word “pling” ang the Grammar Nazi changes it to “paling”.

I type the word “friggen'” and it changes it to “fridge”.

So I’m sitting here scratching my head wondering if I’m having some brain rejection side effects from my little episode when it finally dawns on me that maybe … just maybe … the Grammar Nazi is at work.  So we Google it and sure enough it’s on and we quickly shut it off.

Take that Mac Grammar Nazi!

Now if we can only shut off El Presidente.

  8. I can’t tell you how many times Google speech typing has scared the Daylights out of me! When the text doesn’t even come close to matching what I said… it makes me think I’ve had a stroke! When this happens… I don’t recommend that you email WebMD… or the next thing you know there will be an ambulance, fire trucks, police cars and paramedics busting down your door! 😲

    1. I’ve already had the ambulance, fire trucks, poh-leese cars and paramedics at my house last Memorial Day. I had a lovely trip and stay at a local hospital for a micro stroke. I’ll pass on having another one of those episodes. All I hafta say is it’s not a good way to meet single nurses.

      1. How terrible! I’m glad you are on the mend! On a serious note, the genetic disease that causes my blindness also makes hemorrhaging and breaking blood vessels a constant worry. I have had numerous serious and minor hemorrhages that were fortunately not in my brain… stop laughing.. my doctor recommended a daily dose of citrus bioflavonoids (proven to strengthen blood vessels) and I have not had a hemorrhage since and it has been 17 years! Prior to taking the bioflavonoids I usually had at least one large black bruise somewhere on my body and because I am a musician, constantly playing keyboard or guitar, my knuckles were often Paralyzed by painful broken capillaries in my knuckles but this also stopped about a month after I started taking bioflavonoids regularly. Bioflavonoids are a food product and have no side effects. (made from lemon peels & pulp)

      3. 👍👍 the music business is definitely a handicap but I come from a musical family and basically had no choice. LOL! Seriously though, in spite of everything, there’s just a whole lot of things I want to do. 💃

      5. Yikes! LOL!
        Here is something completely unrelated:
        If Donald Trump moved in next door to you, with his family. What would you do?
        A. Move.
        B. Build a wall and make Trump pay for it.
        C. Have the entire Trump family deported to Russia.
        D. Make Trump and everyone domiciled with him show their tax returns and birth certificates.
        E. Throw the transgender Trump’s off the property.
        F. Limit Trump’s energy source to coal and import their drinking water from Flint, Michigan.
        👍👍

      7. LOL! Jim?
        … just between you and me…
        Rumor has it that Melania is the world’s largest purveyor of untreatable STD Superbugs! Antibiotics faint at the sight of her… in medical circles they don’t refer to her as the first lady but “Patient Zero!” … of course it’s just a rumor, you understand? 😨
        … personally, I don’t think there’s anything to it.😝

      9. The inside scoop is “Melania is closed for ‘business’ ever since her ‘works’ were removed as a public safety measure by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.” So, Jim, even if you want to “play” with the baby… there is no “playpen”… so to speak… Please keep this confidential information on the down low because, as you know, Donald Trump does not wish to be “associated with anything vulgar…” his words, not mine.

      11. LOL! You’re playing with fire… The walls are closing in on the Trump crime family as we speak… Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury and they will be dusting Melania for fingerprints! 👐🔍⚠

  9. I know exactly what you mean, Jim. I use speech typing and it is also infested with”Google Grammar Nazis” and if I turn off the autocorrect feature, speech typing basically won’t work. I am being held hostage by the Google Grammar Nazis and there is nothing I can do about it. Because I’m blind, I have to check my speech typing text with Google text-to-speech (TTS) which employees a whole nother set of Google Grammar Nazis. So…… Do you know how many filthy words phonetically sound like normal words? AND don’t even think about using Google blocking for offensive words… because then… the whole shebang shuts down! It has always been my belief that Jared Kushner and Jeff Sessions in conjunction with Vladimir Putin are in charge of the Google Grammar Nazis. thank you for allowing me to vent my frustration here in the comments section… I hope my comment does not contain any profanity. if it does, please notify the Google Grammar Nazis.

  10. I have problems with the grammar Nazi too. I’ve heard Stephen King curse at how they chop his books to pieces sometimes, cutting, slashing, and grammarizing. (the Nazi didn’t like that word either). But I think we live in a more relaxed world now, grammar is nice, but the message is what is important. Have a blessed day.
