    I didn’t, I know it’s a word in British English, I just wanted to say it’s rare and I haven’t seen anyone say it on the internet

    Also yeah, I’m not a native language speaker

    (And what do you mean by the nazi part? Why would you call anyone a nazi over something like a word?)

      Grammar Nazi is an english term that means someone who is very strict about using correct words and punctuation.

      It is meant to be humorous. It does not mean they are a Nazi.

        Ah sorry then, I didn’t quite get that (as said I’m not a native), just wanted to point out a fun coincidence since we learnt that word a few months back in English class

        Thanks for telling me
