Hi, Pearl! I've gotten used to 'nn' for 'm' because of your keyboard, but 'grannnnar' is on a whole new level, hehe.
May I suggest something I do for symbols that aren't on my keyboard? You could copy any "m" and then use "paste" or "Ctrl+v" to insert it. Not that I'd make a big deal out of this myself, but it's an option.
And who would that be? Guess you don't mean me - no flag anywhere in my photo.

How do you know that? I could say the same thing about people who are obsessed with Trump and still haven't gotten over his election more than two years after the fact.
A Grammar Nazi is an obsessive creepster who lurks around social media sites with a red correction pen, sweating and drooling at the prospect that someone might be misusing the homonyms "their, there, and they're."
A grammar nazi is a helpful person who reminds us that in life (within which accurate communication has significant value) there is a generally agreed upon proper way of doing things and deviation therefrom should (in the case of written communication) be left to those who are familiar enough with proper grammar and syntax so as to not suggest that “bast*rdization” of the language is acceptable.
For instance, some people look at incorrect grammar as something that can be ignored---much like some people who think that Trump’s having been elected is something that should be gotten over.
But just like the salmonella that can be present in raw turkey this Thanksgiving, what Trump is leaving behind for our democratic republic to recover from is important to keep in mind---because it is just as injurious as salmonella.
(Remember to wash your hands and clean the counter top after you finishing prepping the turkey on Thursday, people)
I love you Tom. If you correct me, it is usually in a polite and relevant manner. I cannot remember you ever correcting anyone. But anyway, you are a polite and relevant man. LOL
It is helpful to give advice when ASKED. Otherwise it is freaking rude as heck. Especially when it is not welcome nor relevant.
Someone who holds spelling in such high regard that they will give you a sentence of corrected typo, and if you make to many mistakes they may even book you!
Or, perhaps, instead of baselessly (and a bit presumptuously) assuming you can read someone else's mind and magically know what motivates him/her, you might keep a more open mind and realize that different things affect people other than yourself in different ways, and vice versa, and thus avoid making a needless value judgement.
