Correction: Person who gives forum n00bs a hard time, is obsessed with grammar, and is usually a moderator or admin who bans people for poor grammar and thinks it's their day job.

A Grammar Commie knows the difference between "they're", "there", and "their"; "its" and "it's"; "your" and "you're", et al.

grammar commie 

A term used to describe a person who believes in and advocates for an egalitarian approach to language use. They view language primarily as a means of expressing meaning and facilitating communication, rather than as a status symbol or a tool for exclusion. A Grammar Commie stresses the importance of comprehensibility over stringent adherence to traditional grammar rules, and supports the validity of diverse linguistic styles and dialects, thus breaking the barriers of linguistic elitism and fostering inclusivity.
"Even though Jenny could correct every misplaced comma or misspelled word, as a Grammar Commie, she chose instead to focus on understanding the message the writer intended to convey, promoting a more inclusive and egalitarian approach to communication."
