I don’t want you to misunderestimate me. I’ll work hard and sort this shit out.” I glanced up, taking in all the hard angles of Dyani’s face. For the first time since I’d seen him, there was an edge of concern marking his features. Was it for me or his job? “Misunderestimate isn’t a word.” “What are you, some kind of word Nazi? Jesus Christ, stop fixing everything I say.”
Heh. I only do it in my head, or in these notes, now that I've taken up e-books rather than print. ( though I have, in my misspent youth, red-penciled a few physical books if it got ridiculous enough) ---but the only human I ever chapped at was my ex. However, I always termed myself a "grammar Nazi" until I read that the Nazi part was rude, even downright nasty for some people. Now I'm either a " grammar grandma" or a grammar bitch, depending on how I feel, or my audience. Bitch and Nazi are probably more apt, though. proper word usage, sentence construction, punctuation, and spelling are my jam, the only subject in school I was any good at. So sue me if I go off the rails about author errors. I am tickled by this character's quirk.
