I dunno... personally, I don't feel too bad about being a grammar or spelling Nazi.
My issue is-and I've been accused of being too anal when it comes to this-I find prose that's poorly spelt or punctuated very hard to read. There are a couple of people on my friends list who I like a great deal, but when their posts come up on my friends list I have to skip the posts unless they look like they're very important, because one apparently has no grasp of basic spelling and the other is allergic to sentence-terminating punctuation unless it's seven exclamation points at the end of a paragraph (she'll occasionally use a comma other than that it's very hard to figure out where her sentences begin and end it's very frustrating trying to read an entire paragraph written like that!!!!!!!) and it takes at least three times to read their posts as it does someone else's post of equivalent length.
