I usually don't do that anymore, because people would probably call me a nazi, and it's pretty much almost as sad as the person making the mistakes.
But gosh, it is hard to hold back sometimes.
Am I the only one that feels like this?
Some things just make me cringe.

It's your age. It's youthful arrogance.
It's important for you to know that semantics and syntax are the focus of a weak and undisciplined mind.
I could write an essay on the psychology behind this, but I won't. I'll just say that it's grounded in your identity and an incomplete view of yourself.
When you get older - or god forbid, if you get sick like me - you'll realize how petty things like this are.
Life is much, much too short to get caught up in so many meaningless details.
It's natural, though. We've all been there. The fact you're learning to back off is a good sign. It's a sign of maturity, and maturity is wisdom, and a wise mind is a strong mind.
Edit: I should tack this on because I feel my post makes it seem like I'm going to die. I'm not. Pain is just a good life coach, and I've had a lot of it.
