Type most likely to be a grammar nazi

So we don't understand our own culture, either? Goodness, we Americans seem to have an endless list of failings. I wish I were Australian, so I could be eternally faultless.

The U.S. is going to assimilate Australia at some point in the future, along with Canada I might add . American culture is the vector for the virus and is omnipresent. The most infamous anti American, Ossam bin Laden, had an American porn collection along with Pepsi and other American products in his abode.

Being concerned about grammar to the point we are discussing is a very Ti-ish trait. Te users dismiss minor mistakes as irrelevant unless they affect meaning, because we deal in generalities. The effect of an change is what matters most to us; not the change itself.

I believe that xNTPs are most vulnerable to such an obsession because their Fe is poorly developed, and they think in a highly abstract manner that is conducive to studying semantics.

Three patterns I'm noticing. First off, females are 10%+ more likely to be grammar Nazi's by type across the board, no exceptions. Secondly, FP's (Fi dom/aux) are the least likely types to be grammar Nazi's irrespective of sex. Thirdly, TJ's (Te dom/aux) are more likely to be grammar Nazi's irrespective of sex.

This is interesting since Fi/Te are on the same axis. This also means Ti/Fe types fall in the middle which contradicts some of the stereotypes related to types and grammar nazi'ism, i.e. INTP's being notorious Nazi's or that Fe types (dom/aux) are all warm and fuzzy and consequently more "forgiving" when it comes to grammar. (ESFJ males being an outlier).

Quick deviation from the topic:

These aliens look remarkably like female forms with heads shaped like phallus's. What a clever juxtaposition. I've often marveled at how the inverted image of hanging testicles on a male resemble the smooth curves of a woman's caboose. It seems that in the woman is hidden the male form and vice versa.

Funny how the most likely male type (INTJ, 76.85%) is still less likely to be a grammar nazi than the least likely female type (ISFP, 77.04%).
"Women"
I'm a grammar nazi as well and my ISFP mom.

I think unhealthy Ti and/or weak Se is the root of grammar nazism. Unhealthy Ti is trying to invalidate you by any means necessary, even if it means ignoring the argument and commenting on a missed comma, meanwhile weak Se just can't move forward without it being acknowledged because "Am I the only person seeing they used the wrong form of your?" while everyone else is writing notes down.

This brings me to the conclusion that NTs are the ones you need to worry about the most.
