All this talk of grammar has reminded me of the time I called a co-worker a "Grammar Nazi." This is not proper workplace behavior, so I don't recommend it!

One day my coworker (we'll call him Gary), whose job was not "Technical Writer" (that was my job) sent an email to the entire office asking people to please proof their emails before they went out. At the end of the email, he'd spelled a word wrong.

Five minutes after receiving the ill-fated email, Gary came into my office, asking me if I'd gotten his email and what I thought about it. Slapping a plastic smile on my face and gritting my teeth, I just said "Yeah, great - thanks!" Gary left, looking very proud of himself.

Five minutes after that, I received another office-blast from Gary saying, "By the way, I spelled a word wrong and nobody noticed it."

Irate, by now, I quickly emailed Gary back, telling him that I had in fact noticed his error, but wasn't going to be a Grammar Nazi for internal emails. He then emailed back, assuming I was calling him a Grammar Nazi, and said he felt really bad.

Of course, then I felt bad that he felt bad. But, honestly, what was I supposed to do. He was basically insinuating that I was incompetent. Anyway, the lesson learned that day was don't call coworkers Grammar Nazis, or really anything Nazi. - It's a good general rule.
