Sorry to do this but it should be "something of a grammar nazi".

Perhaps one of the most common screwups that kinda bugs me is
"Music hath charms to sooth the savage beast"
It's supposed to be savage breast, not beast.

Y'all gonna make me lose my mind. Up in here. Up in here.
There is a guy at work that drives me insane during meetings. He has two flaws at a meeting that already goes too long as it is.
1) He asks questions that have already been answered during the meeting. Everytime, he begins the same way. "Lemme get this straight . . ."
2) He usually ( not always but very frequently ) ends a story or opinion with huhuhuh Whannh? ( or Hunh? ).
So of course the cattier among us will call out from time to time "LGTS - huhuhuh whaaa?"
I know. I'm a bad person. I'm trying to correct this.

That is a definite maybe! My precise estimation would be that a constant variable of a minor miracle is equal to the same difference!
The day people stop using "I'm just sayin'" as a form of punctuation at the end of a phrase will be a happy day.
"he was literally a pain in my @$$!". Oh yeah?!
Could be true if he's poking you in the butt with a sharp stick.

I am nothing if not a grammar nazi.
Thanks for posting this one, although I'm surprised it took three pages for it to come up.Here's one more that drives me batty: Unless you're talking about the instrument, the expression is NOT "Viola!" It's also not "Walla!"
It's "Voila!" (Literally, "Look there!") Learning one actual French word won't make you a commie, I swear.
I'm not a grammar or pronunciation nazi and figure that mostly as long as we can communicate, that's the most important thing. Still, it's nice to see some effort to learn to spell and understand what words it is that someone is actually using.
Wish I'd seen this thread soon enough to take part in the silliness on page one! Funny stuff...
It drives me mad when people over-emphasize the "h" sound in "wh" words.

While we're here, let's not forget the gratuitous quotation marks, especially on signs.
"No Parking"
"Wash Your Hands"
Horn Broken, "Watch For Finger"
