Lol, I gotta go with Things2do. To be honest, I had to search up "Prescriptivists" when I first saw this thread. I prefer Grammar Nazi more.

There is a purpose to these posts. They help to provide for a more easily readable whatever-you're-reading, they show the writer what they need to work on to improve the readability of their writings, et cetera.
