Russian prosecutors investigate citizens suspected of (Grammar) Nazi sympathies:
Back in May, prosecutors in Rostov questioned the organizer of a local spelling bee about whether he has any connections to so-called "grammar Nazis."
Grammar Nazi, of course, is a slang term for somebody who habitually — and often annoyingly — corrects other people's grammar. In recent years, it has developed into a satirical Internet meme, which uses imagery that vaguely resembles swastikas.
But prosecutors in Rostov didn't get the joke. They interrogated spelling bee organizer Aleksei Pavlovsky, asking him whether he believed people who make spelling and grammatical mistakes should be exterminated.
