But that not only does sound very dull, but it doesn't even sound like you don't like or disagree with such behaviour
See the difference between these two sentences, which are trying to say same thing using your definition of "grammar nazi": * My posts are constantly checked by people who believe that my grammar and spelling should be proper everywhere possible, who keep notifying me when I make mistakes. * I am being terrorized by grammar nazis. In first sentence, half of people would just not read it because it's too long and dull and other half wouldn't care or understand the point. The second sentence, on other hand... Proper speech is often boring and ignored, which leads to desperation, which leads to insults and swear words. It's not ideal, but that's how world seems to work.
