Line 185:
* This kind of behaviour is not limited to English speakers. Germans ''love'' it, to the point that there's even a ''bestselling'' series of books (called "''Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod''") dealing with all kinds of grammar and spelling errors occurring in everyday German. But beware not to use the exact term in front of the average German (not even necessarily towards him!) ever. [[Never Live It Down|Germans regard the issue as much too serious to even think of using the term jokingly.]]
** Rudolf Hess edited Adolf Hitler's memoir ''[[Mein Kampf]]'', making him a Nazi grammar Nazi.
**This behaviors is also pretty common in Spanish countries, where spelling mistakes run rampant. The Spanish-speakers have also coined an equivalent term, "Talibán Ortográfico", lit "spelling taliban".
