UGN-2 Grammar Wars (Compiled History)

Grammar Jihad initiated by the UGN against the F7 Agency Against Grammar Nazis (F7AAGN) ::

Called by: Zykorinov

Reason: '''Overt opposition to the cause of the UGN, gross negligence to the English language. '''

Timespan: Wed Jun 30, 2010 through Wed Jul 07, 2010.

Result: Total victory for the UGN.

Information: The F7AAGN attempted to defile and eradicate all UGN Members, encroaching upon their freedoms. The Grammar Jihad, the first of its kind, was declared by Zykorinov. UGN Members poured into the F7AAGN thread, correcting every grammatical error, debating with the F7AAGN Members. Zykorinov issued the |F7AAGN Breakdown, which then prompted more resistance from the F7AAGN Members. The debates raged on, until the F7AAGN Leader, Aidannadia, called for a duel between himself and Zykorinov. An epic duel ensued, in which Zykorinov emerged victorious. The F7AAGN, although it did not shut down, ceased its activity in the UGN's thread, resulting in a UGN Victory.
