Simon Pegg, nailed by the grammar police... again

I don't follow many celebrity Twitter feeds, but one feed I have been following is that of Simon Pegg, the delightfully energetic actor-comedian who played Scotty in 2009's "Star Trek" with much brio, gusto, verve, and élan. Mr. Pegg's tweets have kept me abreast of the post-production happenings of the upcoming "Star Trek" sequel, for which I'm very appreciative.

Alas, Mr. Pegg is also an error-prone writer, and every once in a while he gets nailed by his faithful followers for his grammatical, mechanical, and diction-related sins. This obviously irritates him to no end, even though the equally obvious solution would be for Mr. Pegg simply to write better. I don't see this happening anytime soon, though; Mr. Pegg prefers to rail against his readership, who are only trying to help. Below, we see his reaction to readerly attempts to correct his omission of a vocative comma:


Just use the goddamn comma, Mr. Pegg.
