Thank you for having the courage to write this! It is insightful, inspired, and though it might be stepping on some people's toes, definitely true.
I am German, and I know exactly what your teacher meant that day. Every time I see the term nazi being used lightly (i.e. "grammar nazi" in online forums et al.), it makes me want to throw up. And usually people don't even seem to understand why I am upset.

Again, thank you! Definitely food for thought.
