A Grammar Nazi is the guardian of grammar, a new unprofessional figure who does not forgive even the smallest spelling typo or grammatical or syntactic oversight and has the courage to highlight mistakes made during a conversation or in a published or posted written text, even in a marked critical manner.

If a typo is human, when is it right to forgive an oversight and when to consider that error is indicative of not having mastered a skill?
“What would be the effect on us if a doctor wrote “pathology “with two” g’s”?
A spontaneous reaction, says the linguist Serianni, would be to ask ourselves: but if he can’t even write the word correctly then what does he actually know about pathology?
The important thing is to be able to distinguish when it is appropriate to report the error and when it would be better to let yourself be caught up in the story that the error is narrating.

The word gregarious recalls – in its etymology – the idea of a group, of belonging to a whole. We may have a gregarious, passive attitude or, on the contrary, be a gregarious person playing an active role.
When we think of a cyclist, we imagine him as a solitary being, a lone wolf who only thinks about hitting the next pedal stroke, with the sole aim of winning the race.
But the truth is that most cyclists always race to never win. If the wingmen do their job well, it is the captain who will have the chance to win the race and receive the honours and glory.

Of course there are outsiders, followers with the freedom to try to win, but for almost all athletes there is only one rule: to sacrifice everything for the leader because their defeat will consolidate his victory and his winning will originate from them.
Being a good wingman means carrying the burdens of others, water bottles and frustrations to drive the other person – stronger – to victory.
Being captain is an exception. Most people are not winners; they are not losers but invisible champions. We really need more people like this because wingmen are much more valuable than they seem.
