Is the grammar troll dead?

[quote] ...as much as I despise the troll, I hope [bold] they [/bold] are not dead.

Oh, dear.

It's time for you to see your eye doctor, OP.

They are flocking together here!

I dunno, I guess they done up an quit on me seeing as I is a hopeless case and all

You don't actually think that....only one person is making comments about grammar.

Or do you?

OP: Helen Keller

It's too bad the Grammar Troll wasn't around when OP made this horrifying error at the 7:55 mark.

[quote]Or just on vacation?

Oh, dear!

I ain’t see him neither.

We oldies are dictating our posts. Dictation is frictional RE grammar.

Whatev.

R9, I use a Dictaphone.

The Evening Punctuationist died last year. He was very sweet.

I had noticed fewer Oh DEARs lately, too, and determined I'd step up my grammar troll game. I'm not THE grammar troll, but I like to help out when I'm bored.

Did TEP do unsolicited critiquing of the grammar of posters? Didn’t think that was his style.

Headline from Sports Illustrated article:

Matt Corral Says He Took The ‘Easy Way Out’ at Ole Miss The Panthers quarterback says he should have went to another program to compete for a starting spot.

He done got gone.

Oh deer!

I love the grammar troll - for some reason, I always giggle when he pops up. It’s soothing.

All of the grammar trolls are dead to me.

I recently had to buy a new phone and when I logged back into DL I had to re-block many people.

I went into a few new threads and posted replies with intentional grammatical errors.

In less than 3 hours these pathetic childish trolls reveal themselves and I immediately blocked them all.

OP, R18

Oh fucking dear OP

Was the grammar troll ever alive?

[quote] I'm not THE grammar troll, but I like to help out when I'm bored.

There is no "THE grammar troll", it's multitudes of individual Dataloungers. I 've myself given a few Oh Dears.

Perhaps I’m not dead. Perhaps grammar has improved.

R19 The 3 was intentional:

It’s one of the things I use to get you cunts to reveal yourselves.

I often wonder if you gutless pussies are stupid enough to pull the shit in real life.

I bet you don’t have the balls to do it anywhere other than the internet.

Such anger issues.

I ain't seen him neither.

Wait, the " Oh Dear" comments are because grammar?

Maybe we done learned all y'all!

I murderlized him 😠

I love the grammar troll.

^ Well, knock it off, find a new kink other than getting your rocks off correcting other people's grammar. We don't tease you about your small dick

[Quote]Or just on vacation?

[Quote]Oh, dear!

R7 What's incorrect about that?

Maybe they've gone back to the 30's to where they belong to join me, Zasu Pitts and Franklin Pangborn in playing nervous Nellie's.

[quote] They are flocking together here!

Ain’t nobody fucking.

Oh, you said flocking. I guess I should see my eye doctor too.

R32, my guess is it’s a fragment, not a sentence.

I didn’t dish it out though.

Cuz grammar don't matter no more!

Well Dictaphone up yer ass, R10!

Sorry, old joke... ;)

[quote]The Evening Punctuationist died last year. He was very sweet.

Reading Datalounge on a regular basis probably killed him. Or at least made him lose the will to live.

[quote]In less than 3 hours these pathetic childish trolls reveal themselves and I immediately blocked them all.

What a triumph for you, R18. You fit right in with Trump's America, where ignorance is celebrated.

^ Yes, that's why you took the time to comment... Oh, the horror of all this bad grammar. Whatever will we do? 🙄

^ For r38

Anyone who honestly thinks that there is literally only one grammar troll is too stupid to be on DL.

I ain't got none to ad

^ They might as well be one, they all act the same. They have nothing to contribute to the conversation, so they dig for mistakes to feel like they're part of what's going on. It's rather pathetic

[quote]They have nothing to contribute to the conversation, so they dig for mistakes to feel like they're part of what's going on. It's rather pathetic.

Trust me, no one has to "dig" for grammatical errors on DL. And your armchair psychology is apparently as good as your grammar.

He's fine. He sends his love.

@r45, I hope you're enjoying whatever nonsense you just made up...

If we're exiling posters like Misfit Toys, can we do something about Mein Fuhrer and all its many and endless derivatives? Because talk about a cow that's been milked...

I just want to thank our tireless teachers. In fact, here is an apple for all of you! 🍎

[Quote] I 've myself given a few Oh Dears.

You've no place to "Oh, Dear" others.

[quote]I ain't got none to ad

You mean I don’t got nothing.

^ I've got plenty, you ain't got nuttin'

R24 This is big talk from a craven man in a fluorescent caftan.

Lots of people are smarter than you. Lots of them.

Why not WW yourself some more?

^ Smart people don't bother to nit-pick the grammar of others. They contribute to conversations, they don't deride other people's errors

R54 There's no reason to hyphenate nitpick.

^ Thank you for proving my point, idiot

Oh, R55, you be owned, Miss Pretentious Prisspot Fussybottom!

^ That's Princess Pretentious Prisspot Fussybottom to you 😂

[quote]Is the grammar troll dead?

He had a hot ass, but he couldn’t “oh, dear” forever.

R56 It's okay, there's probably something out there that you are good at. Keep trying!

Yes.

My errors killed him.

He was cremated about six months ago, and in a private ceremony, his friends and family on the DL snorted him to carry his spirit forward.

When they feel possessed by his holy spirit, we get a brief taste of flesh once again. Would you like to convert to the ways of grammical nazism? Would you like to be one with the spirit of this magnificient gawd? Just clutch your pearls, give them a good yank and say "Oh, dear!"

@r60, I'm really good at proving you're an asswipe idiot

R61-.

"He was cremated about six months ago, and in a private ceremony, his friends and family on the DL snorted him to carry his spirit forward."

I find comfort in the lovely old traditional rituals.

R62 Let's start you out easy. These go at the end of sentences.

I have a feeling that NYT commentator Mark from South Carolina is a DL grammar troll.

R58 Your savage wit truly wounded me, but it's the emoji that really finished me off.

Emoji trolls are the apotheosis of passive-aggressive worthlessness.

^ You're really getting off on this humiliation, aren't you? Weirdo

The grammar troll did indeed meet his grisly end when he encountered the ebonics troll and they engaged in a shouting match that caused the grammar troll to have a cardiac episode.

Bow down before Ebonics.

I attended the funeral. During eulogies “OHHHH DEARRRRR” kept hissing from the casket, but everyone thought it was just the air conditioning.
