In Hathirysy, grammar nazis would get annoyed at people who:
- Use the abessive and comparative cases, both of which are not characteristic of the Seronya dialect.
- Use the objective endings instead of the subjective endings on verbs when there is a first person singular object or the object is in the dative.
- Don't detach preverbs in the imparative.
- Confuse the simple imparative and the imparative in -yo.
- Overuse the progressive forms in place of the imperfective ones.
- Use the imperfective present in place of the perfective present.
- Confuse the uses of the first and second subjunctives, or second subjunctive and the optative.
- Overuse nan with a finite verb in indirect statements.
- Overuse the conjunction is to coordinate clauses.
