It's good to have enough linguistic skill that you wouldn't call something an adjective and then use it in your example sentence as a noun, dumbass.

Linguistic

Someone who gets a strange joy from correcting other peoples spelling and grammatical errors on the Internet.Often Anal retentive and can count their friends on one hand.

Referring to a person of this nature as a Linguistic will drive them insane, as its not the correct use of the word. Also see Grammar Nazi.

Linguistic dissonance

Language, as with many forms of complex communication, is linear. Its use and context establish tone (the attitude in which the author conveys), with the logical expectation of consistent perpetuation. When one exhibits an unanticipated deviation from the aforementioned parameters, such that its register, dialect, and/or vocabulary is at a significant distance from that previously employed, its effect can best be described as being "totally fucking weird"

This is also known as being "sophisticated as hell"; however, linguistics prefer to call it "linguistic dissonance".
"In the immortal words of Ayn Rand, STFU n00b." ~ A common variation of the sort of linguistic dissonance that one becomes acquainted with when "debating" on 4chan.
