Does this one remind anybody of anyone here in rec.boats??!!!

#1. Pilkunnussija (Finnish)

Means:
A person who believes it is their destiny to stamp out all spelling and
punctuation mistakes at the cost of popularity, self-esteem and mental
well-being.
They're out there. They're reading this right now. Judging, smirking,
analyzing. They care nothing about the actual meaning or fun of writing,
but care everything about whether you used that semi-colon correctly.
While we -- perhaps inappropriately -- call them Grammar Nazis, the
Finns have a much more fitting name: "pilkunnussija."
Or literally, "comma ****ers."

"on off the rec boats regulars"??

He gotcha little fella.
