In internet forums, they are the homos who thwart arguments not with logic or intelligence but by pointing out mistakes in spelling or syntax. When this happens, the original post preceding the edited quote, no matter the quality of the conceptual content, or how good of an argument is made, is apparently rendered useless and pointless, for having a simple grammatical error. What the grammar nazis (who should more correctly be termed grammar fags) don't realize, is that it is their role as an editor in a conversation in an informal writing environment that is useless. Even the greatest writers make mistakes now and then--stay off the internet.
They are very similar to the internet troll.

That grammar nazi, or excuse me, grammar fag, just edited the grammar in my post. Wow I didn't realize I was so bad at arguing.

"Recieve?!?!?!?!? It's "RECEIVE" you dipshit! "I" before "E" except after "C"! - a true statement by a grammar nazi.

Someone that points out the most slightest grammar or spelling mistake. The most innocent of people can briefly turn into something so low called a grammar nazi. They evolve when insecurity in heated arguments arise when a fault with one of the opponents spelling or grammar must be pointed out as an utter write-off excuse. A grammar comeback isn't a diss or even an ownage on any sort of level to begin with despite how well placed it could be. It's one of the worst cop out excuses of a finish/settlement driven by people that make it even more pathetic when "umadbro?'s" (angry people) use it over "the internetz" (the internet). Just from the fact that society accepts improper grammar this day and age for example a movie that might be called "I spie with my little i" makes grammar comebacks an automatic backfire period.
User 1- "How can the next xbox go a blu-ray drive if Sony is Microsofts compititor idiot?"
User 2- "*facepalm* so the xbox original must be reading off your moms cooch from hand-me-downs that used the same thing. How did that work? Your grammar is just as bad as how badly you missed the "e" in competitor.
User 1- Umadbro? I feel pretty owned um..but...since you turned into a grammar nazi at the end I don't feel so owned anymore as you pretty much voided EVERYTHING for being so low.

A Grammar Nazi is often either
1. A teacher, most commonly an English teacher, who will give a student an F on his/her paper because they used "they're" instead of "their" or "to" instead of "too".
2. A blogger who feels the need to go to as many sites as possible to correct their grammar or spelling.
Despite popular belief, the world does need a few grammar nazis, if you would beleive that.

teacher who feels grammer or spelling is as important as original thought, content, or a logical argument.
my writing class grading system as a freshman
30% grammer and mechanics
30% themes and creativity
20% content and structure
10% other bullshit
me: isn't structure a part of mechanics?
teacher: that sort of thinking is why you got a C on your last paper
me: actually, you took twenty points because i spell there the same way for all three uses, spelt the same word wrong four times, and i like commas more than periods. And start sentances with and, and another 10 for the words ass, shit, and crap. your fuckerness astounds me, you dumbass grammar nazi.
