I found a word to describe on of the rec.boats regulars!
 

I was reading on a website about foreign words that we need in the U.S.
Does this one remind anybody of anyone here in rec.boats??!!!


#1. Pilkunnussija (Finnish)


Means:
A person who believes it is their destiny to stamp out all spelling and
punctuation mistakes at the cost of popularity, self-esteem and mental
well-being.
They're out there. They're reading this right now. Judging, smirking,
analyzing. They care nothing about the actual meaning or fun of writing,
but care everything about whether you used that semi-colon correctly.
While we -- perhaps inappropriately -- call them Grammar Nazis, the
Finns have a much more fitting name: "pilkunnussija."
Or literally, "comma ****ers."

I agree one can go overboard with corrections, but it is also worth
pointing out that we have and have had in rec.boats posters whose
language skills were so bad that it was impossible sometimes to decipher
their scribbles. We also have posters whose reading comprehension skills
are close to nil. In rec.boats, it rarely pays to express one's thoughts
in compound sentences.
