Grammar Nazi Camp

being consciously unable to escape from one's ability to correct other's pronunciation of words and phrases, such to a degree that it feels as though you are trapped with the choice of correcting or not correcting the speaker's mispronounced word or sentence back to them in the correct form. much to your dismay rather than intellectual conceit.

A: ooh you took off your shirt. how sensoral

B: (thinks to self): wrong word! she means sensual! i shoul--no! don't correct her! you have a chance at sex!

-from the web-comic 'Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal'

this is an example dilemma of being a prisoner of words (p.o.w) in a Grammar Nazi Camp.
