Stack Overflow is like this... they're more concerned with nitpicking the form of a question than answering it... They'll actually nitpick how you asked, then forcefully close the question with no appeals.
As a grammar nitpicker, I'll say this. If you make a grammar mistake in a text post or comment, I'll silently judge you, but won't comment or correct. But if you're creating a meme that contains a basic grammar error and posting it, I think it's fair game for ridicule.
Bah, that's just a slightly long sentence. But! My second exception to the "open for grammar ridicule" rule is people who correct someone else and make a similar mistake. So...fair call.
That's like saying cloths are "all about" protecting you from the elements. Language, like clothing, is so much more than its primary purpose. And just like clothing, people judge you -- fair or not -- on how you communicate.

So, Amy gets stabbed, and she sends a text to a member of the Grammar Police? Bitch, call 911!

Did you just say you're a "grammar nitpicker" while starting a sentence with a conjunction and writing run-on sentences?

Personally, I don't care as long as the meaning is understood in an unambiguous manner. That is what communication is about, after all.
