I also reject and resent the idea that being interested in or careful with grammar automatically makes you nerdy, nazi, or anal. In my opinion, it makes for a better communicator, and isn't clear communication essential? It's "let's make fun of the smart kids."

I don't think anyone is poking fun, in a bad way, at anyone in particular. I think people are just having fun just now. It's ok cloud.
Everyone knows good grammar is important.
