grammar nazi 

A person who criticizes someone else's grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation, usually in an online setting. While they are often seen as uptight assholes who really need to get a life, it should be noted that they point out simple flaws that often show a lack of intelligence on the part of the person being criticized.

That grammar nazi's an ass, but he is right that you're stupid.

grammar nazi 

an elitist who gets off on correcting others' grammar and spelling because it makes him feel superior.

grammar nazis often misidentify grammar as the primary determinant of one's intelligence and the most important element of expression.

this belief stems from the grammar nazi's insecurity, which leads him to learn the simplest thing in the whole fucking world to learn and impose it on others, earning self-gratification in the process. realizing how easy but effective it is, the nazi continues this ego masturbation until he can no longer separate the truth from the lie: grammar's not that important, no one gives a shit, and no one likes you.

grammar nazis don't realize that in actuality, grammar is too ambiguous to have a rigid standard, and that though basic grammar is necessary, most grammar rules are not, and can restrict good expression.

Shakespeare: What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty!

grammar nazi: Speak in complete sentences.

Shakespeare: the ability to communicate both colorfully and effectively is way more admirable then perfect grammar so stop sucking Webster's dick, you grammar nazi.

Grammar Nazi 

1. Somebody who corrects another person's grammar and spelling in an ad hominem attack.
2. A label incorrectly applied to a person who corrects another person's grammar and spelling, regardless of other content in their post and the egregiousness of the errors being corrected. Ironically, this misuse of the label is itself an ad hominem attack.

1. Poster 1- I like Obama's proposle for healthcare reform: It would give poor Americans access to much needed healthcare while retaining the option of private insurance for those who can afford it.
Poster 2- You misspelled "proposal", so your ideas are invalid.
Poster 1- I made a perfect logical point, and a typo does not refute that, you're just being a grammar nazi.
Poster 2- That's a run-on sentence.

2. Poster 1- I h8 oB4m4 b-cuz he wuznt brn 1n da AMEEEERRRIIIICCCCAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Poster 2- Okay... I took the time to decode what you were actually trying to say with your horrific spelling, and it really annoys me when you "birthers" stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes, and ignore the fact that Obama has released his birth certificate and he was born in the United States.
