Grammar Nazi Camp

being consciously unable to escape from one's ability to correct other's pronunciation of words and phrases, such to a degree that it feels as though you are trapped with the choice of correcting or not correcting the speaker's mispronounced word or sentence back to them in the correct form. much to your dismay rather than intellectual conceit.
A: ooh you took off your shirt. how sensoral

B: (thinks to self): wrong word! she means sensual! i shoul--no! don't correct her! you have a chance at sex!

-from the web-comic 'Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal'

this is an example dilemma of being a prisoner of words (p.o.w) in a Grammar Nazi Camp.

grammarsphere

The grammarsphere is the cyberworld of web pages, blogs, and Facebook groups where English-language nerds hang out and have raging debates about things like "singular they", "verbing nouns", "the Oxford comma" and "logical punctuation".
"Do you want to do something this weekend?"
"No, I can't. I'm going to meet my grammarsphere friends this weekend."
"What? You are going to meet _who_?"
"Whom."
"The people that your meeting this weekend."
"I think you mean 'The people whom you're meeting this weekend.'"
"I'm not meeting anybody this weekend."
"Exactly. Well, at least not my grammarsphere friends."

Aylesbury Grammar School

A classic all boys school, where the guys run round grabbing each other's batty's, and obsessing with the dead tings across the other side of the road. Most of these are battymen that are too scared to come out because they'll get rushed by their mandem. Some of these students are often caught simping, like some guys who buy the girls £200 bracelets in the first week of dating. smh.
Boy 1: Look at that simp
Boy 2: He defo goes Aylesbury grammar school
