Why do some people attract the grammar police more than others do?

*signs in to correct misplaced apostrophe before she gets a grammar ticket*


*looks at one of the posts above*


Hey!!!  Why isn’t that person getting a ticket?  That’s worse!

Disclaimer: This question wasn’t meant to be all that serious.

    A better question would be why do people place apostrophes where they don't belong? It's a time-consuming and fiddlesome way of trolling and quite frankly, I thought most people would have better things to do with their time.

      No citation needed here, no due process, just come along with me, Miss. I’ll personally take the role of your judge and jury and jailer. I have a special cellblock set aside for people like you who goad officers by intentionally committing infractions. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

    Randy grew a ‘stache and heard his first Mantovani record, so he decided to become white!

    Yours truly is at the corrections desk.

    I guess it depends on how offended the other party is. Your atrocious grammar hurts people and they feel as though they have to correct you before bedtime.
