Grammar Police

Those who seek to have correct English written online. They are not opponents of free speech, or 1337. They merely wish that the fundamentals of English are withheld. They will correct bad Grammar and Spelling, and flame the use of ridiculous, Chav, MSN inspired abbreviations such as 'wuu2'. They are in full support of 1337, and support net slang.

Grammar Police are NOT in affiliation with Grammar Nazis.
-Comments on a youtube video-

Idiot1: man that video sucked! Your such a n00b!

GrammarPoliceDude: Correction, 'You're such a n00b'. You just referred to his 'such a n00b', and btw, the video did suck.

-On a forum-

Idiot2:Woah, I just saw Aliens outside my window! There just hovering above my garden!

GrammarPoliceDude17:'They're hovering', and no they bloody well aren't, you're just a lame 12 yr old, with nothing better to do than spam the internet.

A person who:
1. Doesn't know the difference between (your, you're)/(their, there, they're)/ (its, it's).
2. Gets upset when someone corrects their grammar and says something along the lines of "Grammar police" and "wow your that type of guy" and "nobody cares, its the internet" (notice how it's all wrong)
3. Won't just say thanks, edit their post, and move along (aka hella prideful despite being wrong)
Wow the advertisement guy's a grammar shitter. He wrote "The first of it's kind."

Grammatical Pedantry Syndrome

A fake syndrome created in a joke blog by Dennis Baron of the University of Illinois. Many people were fooled by Baron, as the article heavily uses scientific jargon, making it appear like a legitimate piece of scientific literature, but the actual text includes a litany of linguistic jokes and signs that it is actually a hoax. Also, anyone with a basic understanding of OCD would be able to tell that the purported symptoms of "GPS" are dissimilar to actual OCD symptoms; OCD is an anxiety disorder defined by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors, not a need for order or structure.
Grammatical Pedantry Syndrome is a load of baloney, however I do have Memetic Veracity Syndrome; that is, the need to correct false information (particularly contained in memes) on the internet.
