Grammatical Pedantry Syndrome 

Grammatical (or grammar) pedantry syndrome is an illness or a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder where someone has a compulsive desire to correct any grammatical errors one has made and is obsessed with taking this peculiar, constant, and vexatious (from the target's perspective) action.

"Me and mark ate cookies!"
"You mean, 'Mark and I ate cookies!'"
"Stop it!"
"Sorry, I have Grammatical Pedantry Syndrome."

Grammatical Pedantry Syndrome 

A fake syndrome created in a joke blog by Dennis Baron of the University of Illinois. Many people were fooled by Baron, as the article heavily uses scientific jargon, making it appear like a legitimate piece of scientific literature, but the actual text includes a litany of linguistic jokes and signs that it is actually a hoax. Also, anyone with a basic understanding of OCD would be able to tell that the purported symptoms of "GPS" are dissimilar to actual OCD symptoms; OCD is an anxiety disorder defined by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors, not a need for order or structure.

Grammatical Pedantry Syndrome is a load of baloney, however I do have Memetic Veracity Syndrome; that is, the need to correct false information (particularly contained in memes) on the internet.

linguistic pedantry 

Def 1:

Whereas taxonomy is precise linguistic categorization essential for clarity and practical accuracy, analogous to carefully labeling medicine bottles, linguistic pedantry functions within contentinternet to highlight the narrow-mindedness involved in focusing cognitive energy on trivial language details that offer no practical benefit, humorously exemplified by videos such as PronunciationManual's intentional mispronunciation of "Nietzsche."

Def 2:
One methodology of Sophistry.

bro 1: brah i went in there and a total rundown of linguistic pedantry was rained down on me .
bro 2: yeah see thats why i prefer wendy's.
