It's an attempt to compensate for an obviously failing education system.
Seriously.
People get annoyed for their own sake, but that annoyance is borne out of a general repulsion for some sections of the human population. I mean, it's an insult to have to identify yourself with someone who can't even use proper punctuation and grammar, right? And at the end of the day, we all have identify with each other because we are all human. Grammar Nazis attempt to eradicate the world of linguistic stupidity because it signifies a broader human failing - that of class distinction and poverty. How many of these kids who use poor grammar and spelling make these same mistakes in essays and tests? A fair few, I would bet.
It's a fascinating phenomenon really.
Also, it's awful fun for some people to publicly humiliate others online (that's why I'm probably going to get flamed for this post), and humiliation is often the best form of rehabilitation.
People can educate themselves however. Libraries are free.
I do suspect you are correct however.
Those exercising their exceeding ignorance of the English language annoy me because I permit it. They are the hallmark of our failing society, one which values "lulz" over intelligence.
Survival of the dumbest? They certainly are outbreeding the intelligent.
Is it normal I think being a grammar Nazis is stupid?
