Of course, if you call out the other person's poor grammar and spelling, they drag out the typical "this isn't a term paper" defense. I guarantee that 8 out of 10 of these people actually suck in the writing department.

Have you seen the Fake AP Stylebook? I get the t_witter updates. They're very silly.
I actually don't mind the label "Grammar Police," because I don't consider adherence to proper speech and writing guidelines to be a character flaw.
If you want to have fun with poor grammar and spelling, read some fan-fiction. It's often deliciously horrible.
