Grammar Pedantry in English, in particular, has always amused me since our grammar is a kluge forced into the current shape by a largely artificial attempt to impose an even more Latinate syntax on a mutant hybrid beastie with a Germanic core that could not care less about trying to impose uniformity from an older language where many of "errors" we commit in English are impossible and trying to make semantic and rhetorical grammar consistent after the 14th-19th century nearly broke the entire edifice.
