pedanticism

Pedanticism is a practised by people so focused on errors that they sometimes end up missing the errors of their own.

Pendanticism is related to perfectionism in the fashion that the individual practicing this form of perfectionism always are experiencing the need to correct 'faults' until absolute 'perfection'.

If this person spots an error, they have to correct it, even if it would be deemed unneccessary by other individuals.

Sometimes the error they feel the urge to correct the errors that are not even there. This often leads to conflicts, where a more immature person might start peckering even further about inexistant errors.
Pedanticist:
OMG, nub u liek cnat spell! Taht word isnt spelld liek that!!

Victim for unmotivated correction:
Before you start peckering me with your inexistant errors, perhaps you should take a look at your own pedanticist-behaviours.

There are definitive downsides of pedanticism, as you can see.

Permanent Stinky Pussy

PSP -- The end-result after a female has collected enough HPV-strains and other cock-bugs to create mass causalities in her intimate circles. Through Gods fury; Her pussy develops a permanent forest of invincible fungus-culture in her hoo ha. The fungus creates a strong soul-wrecking odor which serves as a forewarning for any righteous God-fearing man.

For those who get trapped by her allure; PTSD is more than likely. PSP is treatment-resistant; thus not mitigated by antifungal, antimicrobial or antibiotic treatment.

Extreme cases may result in radfem antics, acid-colored hair and potentially even a global pandemic.

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.
