Grammar police

Definition

Smug internet dwellers who hunt for typos and grammatical errors to correct, treating minor mistakes like you've committed academic treason. They derive unearned superiority from pointing out your errors, often making casual conversation feel like a doctoral defense.

Example Usage

I posted 'their happy' instead of 'they're happy' and the grammar police descended like vultures with their 'actually's.
