Grammar Nazi

Sometimes, being a "grammar Nazi" (aka an English major who likes to educate people on the language they're speaking) has its downfalls.

Like if you correct someone who said something was going fast when it was actually going quickly.

And then they start talking about slow, slowly, fast, quickly, it's all the same thing. . .

And you mean to say "Yes, but some are more correct than others" but this comes out: "Yes but some is mor-" and you get that far before you realize that you made an enormous grammatical mistake.

And you both laugh so it's fine, but you're a little embarrassed. Because you know better.

Sometimes, this happens. Because even a grammar Nazi is human.
