The Wordnik Word of the Day for November 9, 2012 is
grammaticaster http://www.wordnik.com/words/grammaticaster<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001nOBuuc5KBMFS_05A_qR64tdtpRTHr2t_PdFwuE7QuoRpOjK5vEqk2F4q82fJk1bsMC3_EYxK0LDPHDMSeSOyGZIPpI7mN3ffHdPAnKjkhtu5-fj5VE6ZYMnLuISg_NRXJf-PMkHk7gm7cReOChI6lQ==>

A petty or pitiful grammarian; one who insists upon the minutest
grammatical niceties.

The ‘caster’ in this word comes from the Old Norse ‘kasta,’ to throw.

Example:
Unfortunately, the loudest grammar snobs are the ones who’ve put the least
research into their opinions, and so, for every ten people quietly aware
that infinitives can and sometimes should be split, there’s one vocal
grammaticaster shouting over them that split infinitives are an abomination
in the eyes of Pope.
 --'Led astray by the no-split-infinitives fetish,' Motivated
