If you're correcting "your" to "You're" or vice versa, you are not a "Grammar Police".

I never did well in English and Writing classes growing up, I was more of a Math wiz. I got targeted by many many people on boards about my "Grammar". For instance, typing "Your" instead of "You're", made you a huge target to these people.

I saw a fight go down between two people, I will not share the details because one of the parties said some things that some of the nastiest players would say.

I nearly lost it when the opposing person of the fight then says. "I'm not sure if your Third-grade class talked to you about this, but that's called punctuation, not grammar."

As someone who is victim to "Grammar police" often, I LOST IT, Laughing hysterically.

So those of you people on the boards. You are not the "Grammar Police" you are the "Punctuation Police".


Grammar is the set of structural rules governing the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in any given natural language.

Punctuation is the marks, such as period, comma, and parentheses, used in writing to separate sentences and their elements and to clarify meaning.

It's the common phrase used. It's like the difference between literally and figuratively: yes, people mean figuratively, but literally is the more common word. At some point you just need to get used to it.
