I call myself a grammar Nazi but it's really only about stuff like your/you're, it's/it's, there/their/they're, saying things like "a 100" which would be read as "a one hundred", and redundant use of words after acronyms (ATM machine, RPG game, etc.)

I don't get all uppity about actual sentence structure like "you should have used 'whom' right there" or "never start a sentence with a conjunction". If it sounds like natural speech then go for it.

My spelling has always been impeccable and I've actually had more misspellings since I switched over to exclusively phone usage for the internet because of autocorrect/suggestion getting things wrong.

I still care... I won't evangelize to people over it but it still irks me to no end, even my own mistakes. You/your/you're and of course the frequent misuse of "lose" and "loose" haha

Seeing as how I'm a professional translator, I kind of have to. Outside of that, I don't take it too seriously though. I literally always notice when people make errors in spelling or grammar, though I rarely correct it unless it's a job or people ask me whether or not something is correct.

I got my 'grammar nazi' knack from my mother, and my sister has it too. When the three of us are talking to each other, we usually end up spending most of the conversation correcting each other's grammar.

Very much so, even in texting and on Facebook. I know people like me are often called "grammar nazis" but the total willingness of some people to present themselves as total dumbshits to the world is astounding. If you don't have control over the most basic principles of the language which you speak...well, that says a lot.

Professionally I care a lot, though.

Same. I appreciate proper grammar and spelling but I don't get offended if someone doesn't use it and sometimes i type sloppily myself like this and have run on sentences and don't capitalize shit and don't bother to make my post sound eloquent and who cares at this point. you're quicker to get chastised for using argumentative fallacies these days, as one should. one could make the argument that shit grammar and sentence formatting could increase the risk of having one's own argument or message misinterpreted, which could be avoided with proper grammar and sentence structure, but in general i don't think most people give a shit

As long as I can make out what the person is trying to say I'm not going to care too much.
I love it when someone tries to be a grammar nazi only to make an error themselves.
