    He left his noble and arduous task so suddenly that it left the debaseriota community bewildered and confused.

    Therefore, I send her a warm and nostalgic greeting.

    Hey Grana, look how it's written "ottimo," otherwise you should also write "la passaggia" to improve the step on your discourse, and nothing... I'm writing this here because I can't comment on @[Hank Monk]'s things since he hates me, well, now I greet you with joy "eminence," bye!

      But I thank you, Staglio.
      I remember you... I used to watch you as a kid, while you carried a piano, with your friend, up a staircase. Damn you... That piano took more hits than Max Roach's snare.
      In the end, it made it up all the stairs... But not those pentatonic, or Phrygian, or Aeolian ones. No, not at all... Those from the villa where you had to deliver it.
      I remember that as a kid, it made me laugh a lot, that thing.
      Now it makes me a bit sad, the story of this piano.
      And that’s it.

      Eeh Granaboy, how did you manage to get back on track, and who could forget the funny video of the piano where he runs down the whole staircase after being painstakingly lifted up by a partner in so many adventures, the mythical Ollio r.i.p. Just thinking about it makes me burst out laughing with tears...

      I don’t think I understood, but I’ll take away the hate. Just because you’re the only one I’ve ever directed it at, and it seems like too drastic a decision. Just try not to act too much like a boomer, though; I’ll try to ignore the links you post.

      Of course. I just took a couple of days to reflect on the success of the expression "quant'altro."
      But now I'm off again, with renewed vigor.
      And I'm starting right from your place, my good Confaloni.

    I would like to point out to those who considered the use of GLI instead of A LORO in the review of Tototruffa 62 to be incorrect that such a categorical statement is not accurate.
    1) The use of GLI instead of LORO or A LORO has now become established in everyday language. And usage ultimately prevails over grammatical norms. There are countless examples. Sometimes LORO or A LORO can sound pedantic and weigh down the sentence.
    2) GLI in the third person plural is etymologically correct. It derives from ILLIS, which gives GLI, just like GLI in the third person singular which derives from ILLI.

      It may have become a habit, but it remains very uncouth.

      His statements are not peregrine. And certainly, the day is not far off when "Gli" will be perfectly equated with "Loro" in the case at hand. Only, for me, that day has not yet arrived. For me, I emphasize. And since language, thank God, is ALSO a matter of taste, I felt, in accordance with my way of understanding it, to emphasize this.

      Statements that are neither trivial nor useless, but, come on, as @[sergio60] would say, you can’t bear to hear them... Once again, I agree with DeUtente with the annoying nickname.

    You know, in the end, the relationship of the audience with your name (in relation to the almost absolute indifference towards tragically unfortunate and seemingly harmless terms whose intrinsic violence is not understood) is turning out to be a goldmine. It gives us a snapshot of true society, not fake.

      Holy words, dear @[TataOgg].
      However, I won't hide from you that it pains me quite a bit to offend others' sensitivities...
      Therefore, I won't stop dwelling on it.

    It is fitting, during this Christmas season, to send you my best regards and wishes. Although your nickname references a mournful ideology, I believe that your contributions to Debaser are essential coming from a learned and highly estimable person. See you soon on these screens...

      Thank you very much, my dear Confaloni. Your greeting and your words are a great relief and pleasure to me: knowing that, after initial skepticism, I enjoy your favor is a source of great satisfaction for me. I fervently reciprocate your wishes.

      At the time, in other forms, I wrote about it.

      I preface that "ti si brucia" is an impersonal phrase in the Tuscan dialect. 😅 Overall, I love the work of grammar but, at the same time, I truly believe it's really dangerous for him. In fact, at the first chapel, it's done...
    • GrammarNazi

      That's not the point, in my opinion.

      You know, Grammar, I liked the hook with the lovely chubby worm ready to be swallowed, aka the comma between the verb and the displaced subject.

    How many pointless controversies about your name! I've seen -nazi applied in many contexts, but as long as it stayed confined to the realm of jokes, it never caused any diplomatic incidents. Your avatar, however, you rightly decided to replace with the quintessential educational torture device.
    I'm happy you're here; certain grammatical mistakes (punctuation, apostrophes, accents, spacing) in the reviews annoy me, and it takes a strong hand, a guide.

      Thank you, TataOgg,
      as it is obvious, I agree with what you said about my name. I always feel very sorry when I realize that I haven’t been able to convey a message that, in my intentions, was quite clear and free of any implication.
      I am also happy that you are here, sharing my struggle. But I don’t believe I am capable of taking on the role of leader or representing anyone.
      I would simply like to be able to provide food for thought.
      That’s all.
      Thank you from the bottom of my heart, in the meantime.

      Do we need a comma before the conjunction "and"? I'm asking for a friend. 😚

      But in the GrammarNazi's ten commandments, are there hours (weeks) of review scheduled?
    • GrammarNazi

      Right observation.
      For years, we were told that there shouldn’t be a comma after the conjunction "and," and now this GrammarNazi comes along to tell us otherwise.
      But it’s not me saying it...

      Anyway, the comma after the conjunction "and" so brutally, without that Olympic pause, is also the death of the senses. You must be used to it. Grammar Nazi, but for me, you're a 4 on the report card and without appeal. All the Digital Correctors of the Galaxy won’t save you.
    • TataOgg
      6 dec 21
      There are cases where commas placed before the conjunction serve to give particular emphasis to the sentence. The situation is correctly pointed out by the Crusca as well as being easily verifiable in any narrative text. Alternatively, one can use dashes "-...-", which have fallen out of favor, but can sometimes be extremely effective.
      Grammy, where do I fish - on the keyboard - the quotes?
      How many mistakes have I written in this comment? :D
    • Kyrielison
      6 dec 21
      No one, @[TataOgg]. And I’ll tell you more: particularly commendable, that subject ("the commas placed before the conjunction") set off by commas. In defiance of the most basic rules of punctuation positioning and - precisely for this reason! - capable of highlighting the most important element of the sentence.
      Those two commas, placed there like a bulwark, like two towers, to protect the true king of the sentence, that subject which, without them, would otherwise fall victim to the first passing pawn.
      And chest'è.

    As commendable as it is to care about grammar, I observe the following:
    a) substance also deserves its fair share (and what a share!);
    b) if you take on the role of an inflexible overseer, know that whatever you write will always find someone (on Debaser and elsewhere) ready to make you pay for even the slightest mistake in form and substance, with plenty of back interest (ever heard "Everybody must get stoned!" signed by Mr. Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan?);
    c) I strongly advise you not to invoke those sad figures adorned with a swastika. The only one who ends up looking bad is you, not someone like me who criticizes you.

    I close this letter without even sending you best wishes for the upcoming holidays. May God have mercy on you on the Day of Judgment...

      I almost forgot: perhaps she doesn't realize what it has meant, in the past, for millions of poor people to deal with the aforementioned swastika criminals. She should avoid evoking them (this invitation applies to Belzebub as well...)

      It seems to me, however, that here, aside from attempts at pretentious syntax & grammar, we are faced with someone incapable of understanding and willing. If anything, we should turn to his guardian and reproach him for having allowed him to mock, in a disdainful manner, the hitlerism applied to his orthodox nonsense.
    • GrammarNazi
      5 dec 21
      As commendable as your greeting is, I observe the following:
      a) It seems to me that, in this historical period, substance is overvalued, inevitably at the expense of form;
      b) I do not see myself as an inflexible overseer at all. I'm sorry, but we misunderstood each other. At most, rather than standing tall, I simply peek out, in a world where Substance overflows, spills over, and devours. An uncontested blob that overwhelms everything and everyone, in the name of the superiority of what is said about HOW it is said.
      In all this, I reiterate, I do not see myself as an inflexible overseer. Imagine that...
      I limit myself to peeking out as a modest suggester;
      c) For the last time, I point out that the expression "Grammar Nazi" is not mine. I merely chose it as a nickname, trusting in the irony of my interlocutors.

      I close this message by sending you my best wishes for the upcoming holidays, certain that God will have no mercy on either me or, tampoco, on you.
    • Confaloni

      I would like to point out, as a final line in Wilder's "Some Like It Hot," that "nobody's perfect." So neither you, nor Mr. ZenZero, nor I can aspire to such a goal. You complain about the overexposure of substance compared to form? Well, don't think you can get away with justifying a nickname that includes a reference to National Socialism by appealing to a sense of humor. The twentieth century was also a century of deadly ideologies for humanity. If you have any doubts, go read some good books on the subject. I don't know about you and others, but I have developed some convictions over time. Enjoy your reading and don't think you can make me waver in my beliefs.

      Actually, initially, I was torn between GrammarNazi and GrammarNié, otherwise known as Grand Marnier. I chose the former because I thought it would be more dangerous to touch the raw nerve of the alcohol producers' lobby.
