Grammar Nazi 

One who uses refined vocabulary, correct grammar, constantly finds themselves correcting grammar and spelling (in forums, chatrooms, tumblr, YouTube, etc.)

First, you have your mild GNs, they're much kinder and respectively tell you about your grammar/spelling that is incorrect.

Then there's your experienced GN, they're much harder on you and constantly browse through pages to reply to people who have terrible grammar and spelling form.

Finally, there's the hardcore GN, only they have earned the right to sPELL liKe thisss and still be refined, respected, not a asshat GN like most internet GN are. They usually reply with a simple correction and move on.

If people's verbal words could be seen like they were typed:
'omg your gay'
"What about my gay?"

randomanon101: lol that coment was so funny. your all so silly.
Grammar Nazi: *comment *you're

Grammar Nazi Camp 

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'

this is an example dilemma of being a prisoner of words (p.o.w) in a Grammar Nazi Camp.
