Get the Grammar Nazi mug.A captious individual who cannot resist the urge to correct a spelling and/or grammar mistake even in informal settings. After pointing out the linguistic shortcomings in others, a Grammar Nazi feels a strange sense of twisted and unconstructive intelligentsia delight.
In reality, they are making someone else feel bad for no reason and unintentionally implying that their "superior" grammar skills are all they have to show for a wasted liberal arts education.
While proper grammar usage is all well and good, a Grammar Nazi cavils even insignificant errors in English to somehow win an argument. Of course, rather than being genuinely persuasive in an argument, pointing out English errors is a weak attack only on the typist's credibility and never has any bearing on the underlying premises and assertions therein.
In other words, this is simply a disguised ad hominem argument which intelligent and logical people disregard.
Still, one should strive to spell and use words properly, but arrogant and unsolicited advice is not a very persuasive way to teach English.

Get the Dartford Grammar School mug.A person who takes pains in online discussions to point out when someone has made a spelling or grammatical error. This is usually used as an ad hominem attack during an argument, as though spelling and grammar have a bearing on the validity of a statement.
While related to concepts like "grammar nazi", by contrast a "grammerfuck" is not just someone who is strict about spelling and grammar, but someone who actively uses this tactic to attack someone they disagree with, to avoid direct discussion, or to undermine a debate.
The spelling of "grammar" as "grammer" in the word is intentional, to demonstrate how much you don't give a fuck about their rhetorical attack.

Online Conversation:
"You're family is rich, so I think you've got a different perspective on poverty."
"I think you mean 'your'. Maybe you should ask for your college tuition back?"
"Hey, don't be a grammerfuck, how about making an actual point?"
