A grammar ostrich is one who doesn't know or care to understand how bad grammar affects the meaning of what they say, confuses others, and attacks anyone who points out or corrects the mistakes.
When corrected for saying "I want to insure you're happy." instead of "I want to ensure you're happy.", the grammar ostrich called the person trying to be helpful a grammar bitch. The grammar bitch tried to assure the ostrich that she was trying to be helpful, but this further ensured the ostrich's unwillingness to be helped. Fortunately, the bitch had insurance.

A term describing an individual who exhibits both knowledge and empathy in relation to language use. Instead of criticizing others' grammatical errors, a Grammar Swami gently and privately guides them towards more standard language practices. Their approach is focused on uplifting and educating without causing embarrassment or belittlement, emphasizing respect for each individual's unique linguistic journey and encouraging growth in a supportive, non-judgmental manner.
I met a Grammar Swami who patiently and kindly showed me how to use language better, guiding me towards improvement without making me feel embarrassed or small.

Grammar Fonzie is a linguistic style that wholeheartedly embraces and celebrates cool and creative uses of language, valuing expression over rigid adherence to traditional grammar rules. It appreciates the innovative and inventive ways people communicate, even if they deviate from established norms. In contrast, it stands in opposition to the concept of a "Grammar Nazi," which focuses on strict and unwavering enforcement of grammar rules without considering the potential for creativity and expression in language.
Unlike a Grammar Nazi, who would nitpick and correct every minor deviation from grammar rules, a Grammar Fonzie would revel in the imaginative and daring expressions that give language its flair and individuality

A person who would rather correct someone's grammar on an internet post than respond with any valuable information.
Instead of commenting on the underlying issues in the debate, the oppositional social media grammar bots attacked and debut the statements with limited responses such as "It's their, not their!"
