Generally, a person who corrects others' speech or writing for the purpose of feeling superior. However, rare exceptions exist, wherein the term is applied to those who have become tired of the constant abuse of language, are not aware that their behavior warrants application of the term and are genuinely trying to help their peers, or have been editing their friends' essays for eight hours and cannot bear another misplaced preposition.

being consciously unable to escape from one's ability to correct other's pronunciation of words and phrases, such to a degree that it feels as though you are trapped with the choice of correcting or not correcting the speaker's mispronounced word or sentence back to them in the correct form. much to your dismay rather than intellectual conceit.
A: ooh you took off your shirt. how sensoral
B: (thinks to self): wrong word! she means sensual! i shoul--no! don't correct her! you have a chance at sex!
-from the web-comic 'Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal'

Some guy/girl that always runs out of words to say, mainly the age is around 15/9 people start saying stuff like that. Usually the person is good at Grammar, they well seek for attention, you will mostly find these people in games or on social media websites.
