People Who Correct Grammar in Text Messages

There�s a unique breed of texters who patrol punctuation and spelling like digital sheriffs. A missing comma or a �your� instead of �you�re� sends them into a flurry of notifications. They can�t resist replying: �Actually, it�s �its� not �it�s.�� Friends learn to expect mini-lessons in language with every message. Autocorrect becomes both ally and nemesis, triggering debates about proper usage. Emoji misuse? Off-limits. Abbreviations like �lol� or �idk� are scrutinized for laziness. Even group chats can descend into grammar workshops. While their intentions are noble�clarity, precision, proper English�the results are often groans, eye-rolls, and subtle avoidance. Texting transforms from casual communication into a linguistic minefield. Sometimes the corrections are hilarious, sometimes pedantic, but they never fail to leave an impression. Language becomes a stage, the text thread their audience, and every typo a potential crime to be corrected.
