Hillary Kelly, digital media editor at
The New Republic, says in her TNR grammar blog,
“The Best Response to Grammar Nazis, Ever,” that she had been despairing over her inability to fire back at some readers who “feel the need to correct my every stray comma (and sometimes try to correct my already correct language).” This lopsided state of affairs, she relates, made her “a pro at biting my proverbial tongue”—until one night recently when something happened that she says suddenly overturned the tables against her tormentors. She came across British writer-actor Stephen Fry’s videographic rant, “Kinetic Typography,” and she swears that it’s “the smartest, wittiest response to the grammar pedants I’ve ever seen.”
