| So am I the only one who feels his like walking on legos each time I see someone using plurals for anime? Is anime! Just anime! One anime, two anime... not ANIMES!!! I watch anime... I watched a lot of anime. I finished 300 anime... not ANIMES!!!! For Heaven sake peoples! Is a Japanese word. Is a word without a plural. There are some words without a plural... Like snow... You don't use snows, right? Or rices. Or nothings. Or ANIMES!!! Is Anime... Just Anime... No matter how many, is just anime... Please stop using the plural... Use just anime. Use it correctly and responsible... signed - Und Grammar Nazi!!!!! P.S: I am not sure about or comfortable with ''mangas'' either... but at least that doesn't make me cringe in agony. And sounds possible... |

| But you would say cartoons. I guess I'm not bothered because the final s is not pronounced in French anyway |
| "singned" Congrats, you just played yourself. |
 |
| I don't know where you got your "Grammar Nazi" certification from, but they would revoke it immediately if they saw what you just wrote. |
Least degenerate visual novel enjoyer.  |
| How can someone be a grammar Nazi when they themselves have shit sentence structuring and grammar. feels his like walking on legos, like the fuck? |
 |
| You say people saying "mangas" doesn't make you cringe when both manga and anime are Japanese words. Sounds pretty hypocritical. |
  |
| I mean...it's not like they completely misspelled it, just added an 's' at the end.... |
| I don't see the logic behind it if mangas are fine, and also your example of snow doesn't really work since snow just like rain is more about the natural phenomenon and is the sum of the snowflakes and so it isn't quantifiable in literature terms contrary to the snowflakes which just like animes are. Same for rice which is the sum of the grains, they don't have a plural as you mentioned but you can't say neither "a snow" nor "a rice" but "a snowflake" and "a grain of rice" Also I would expect better from someone calling himself a "grammar nazi" kronopy said: So am I the only one who feels his like walking |

| I guess we should stop saying "forums" and use "fora" instead if we are to follow the grammar of every foreign language. |

| Is that really what bothers you? i could not care less about something like that. Get a reality check |
| How charming, a grammar nazi who doesn't use correct grammar himself. |
 |
| Is this a deconstruction thread of a grammar nazi? Very uninteresting. |
    |
| Singned? Und Grammar Nazi? Some shoddy grammar nazi you are. |

Work on your English before throwing a fit about people making a small mistake. |

| "What is in the name?"that's what shakespeare said. |
 |
| It’s “anime” and “manga”, singular and plural. If you feel inclined to use “animes” and/or “mangas” however, be my guest. I don’t see how this is so very bothersome as long as the point is valid and understandable. Simple as that, you don’t need certification from anywhere to get this across. |

| "please stop" No thank you. |
I like animes. Come and fight me  I will not stop saying it because some people are not cool with it |
| Was gonna say something, but tbh, the op is too adorable. |
  |
| you people and your animay, might aswell call it Japanimation, or eastern cartoon while at it |
 |
| Und = and Ein = a t. ein grammatisch Nazi or I guess Sprachpolizei would be more correct |

| Are we literally brain dead yet??? Oh well I guess English isn't your native tongue right pal??? |
 |
| "Anime" is a noun, and nouns get a -s when they're in the plural, so it perfectly logic to write "animes" instead of "anime" Plus as a French it's really disturbing not to see an -s at the end of a word in the plural (I already struggled for a few years to understand adjectives don't take an -s when they're in the plural as well) |
| I love animes. Everyday I watch animes. |
 |
| Ok Boomer. I'm gonna say Animus from now on. |
| Ah, yes, truly a real grammar nazi. Doesn't even use proper grammar, but I still do get the point. |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| "So am I the only one who feels his like walking on legos each time I see someone using plurals for anime?" One more reason to use animes than. Also shounens, seinens, shojos, joseis and kodomos. Why do you even care? |

| Lol I f*cking hate it. xD It sounds and LOOKS really stupid.

'Anime' is derived from 'animation' and the plural of 'animation' is 'animation'. Not 'animations'. |

This is so disturbing I hate it. The thing is that if the word is straightforwardly borrowed from another language it should be in italic and it conserves the same grammar of the original language it's coming from. Anime is not a official word in French or English for the matter so it should be written anime in singular or in plural. As long as the word isn't officially added to the dictionary it should never get a "s" for its plural. |

However, I might find the word "animes" annoying, people still can write it that way if they want. There are worst spelling error than that I think. And yes, animés is irritating and I will disallow anyone for writing this. |
| To quote a wise Jedi, you have become the very thing you swore to destroy. |
| It does sound very off when someone says "Animays", but if people want to say that i won't argue with them. I can say i've never heard an anime character use that word when referring to multiple anime though. |

Well, that works in Japanese but not in English or French We add a -s to words like kimono, tatami or tsunami, so why not doing the same thing for animes ? The word itself sounds really western too, it's almost logical to write it this way (or at least it shouldn't be that surprising) |
| im bad with english grammar anyway so im fine with them making mistakes about it |

If it's officialized later, its spelling won't change, only its status. So, something stated as wrong just becomes right with a simple snap of the fingers ? It sounds very futile when we think about it Plus if we only focus on the dictionnary point, there are some words that aren't recognized (yet) by the dictionnaries but are still widely used, like "chronophage", "dangerosité", "inatteignable" or "gratifiant" Does that make them meaningless ?

It's widely used in my language and isn't considered as a spelling mistake |

| I love the irony of the OP labeling themselves a "Grammar Nazi" while making a shitload of spelling mistakes like "singned". Also iirc, "Und" is German for "and", not "a". |
