Correcting grammar

The urge to correct someone's grammar is a type of OCD.
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry; by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety; or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions.

The Grammar Pedantry syndrome is a form of OCD in which the sufferers have to correct every grammatical error.
