Someone who writes and speaks English, as opposed to someone who emits any written or spoken nonsense out of laziness and ignorance, and then expects others both to understand them and to not criticise.

A Grammar Nazi is a slightly rude nickname for someone who has the ability to correct others' impropper grammar and help them become better. Sometimes it is just in their genetics or they can't help it when someone speaks like a toddler.

A term used to describe a person who believes in and advocates for an egalitarian approach to language use. They view language primarily as a means of expressing meaning and facilitating communication, rather than as a status symbol or a tool for exclusion. A Grammar Commie stresses the importance of comprehensibility over stringent adherence to traditional grammar rules, and supports the validity of diverse linguistic styles and dialects, thus breaking the barriers of linguistic elitism and fostering inclusivity.
"Even though Jenny could correct every misplaced comma or misspelled word, as a Grammar Commie, she chose instead to focus on understanding the message the writer intended to convey, promoting a more inclusive and egalitarian approach to communication."
