GRAMMAR NAZI or Grammar Police refers to someone who habitually corrects grammar and / or spelling mistakes made by others in conversation, both on and offline. In most cases, the term carries a negative connotation of either being a buzzkiller who ruins a good joke by getting too technical or a n00b who is gullible enough to be irritated by a Grammar Trap, an intentional use of incorrect grammar for the purpose of trolling.

For communicative purposes, I guess the most important thing is being able get your point across. As long as people understand you, it's fine even if you make grammatical errors. But for official documents/matters, you do need to be grammatically correct.
