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.

Get the grammatical texter mug.A long-forgotten art of language mastery that once graced the realms of the written and spoken word. It's all about showing respect to grammar by adhering to its rules and structures like a boss. When you possess grammatical decorum, you wield the power to impress, persuade, and avoid embarrassing language blunders.
- When Brenda saw her friend's atrocious grammar in a text message, she couldn't help but cringe. Armed with her red pen emoji, she swooped in to save the day, sprinkling grammatical decorum all over the conversation like fairy dust.
- Dude, that guy's got serious grammatical decorum skills. His emails are like symphonies of correctness, and I can't help but feel inferior when I read mine aloud.
