I guess I would be #3...the Grammar Nazi. Although, I don't point out the spelling or grammar mistakes, but when I see it, it drives me nuts!

Re: You Guys Have to Read This!
I read that and I think some parts were pretty funny. Lol Though I have to disagree with the part about Asperger's syndrome. I was diagnosed with Asperger's in 6th grade, and (even though I'm not entirely sure if I truly have it) I'm perfectly capable of picking up on social ques (unless there's some that I don't know about, lol) and am capable of feeling empathy. By definition, Asperger's syndrome is a neurological disorder that is on the high functioning end of the autistic spectrum. What's generally viewed as the abnormality is that a lot of us don't have an inherent sense of good social skills, might express limited empathy, and may need to learn in a different kind of environment (like special education). While there are Asperger people who have trouble picking up on social ques and/or sarcasm, I'm quite good at doing so. I also don't seem to feel a lot of empathy, but when I do feel it I tend to either express it in a non-emotional way or keep it to myself. As for what they teach us in special ed, we learned the exact same thing that those in general education did but just with a different approach to doing so. The main thing is that we may need extra help on work as well as having how to do the work better explained to us.
I also never knew (or at least never thought about) that there were people who claimed to have Asperger's and other disabilities just so that they could have an excuse to act like a douchewaffle. Though this would make a lot of sense. Lol As for me, I've never used my Aspgerer's diagnoses as an excuse for anything.
I also have OCD (even though I haven't been officially diagnosed I know that I have it), and there are times that I might feel sort of like a Grammar Nazi, but I keep it to myself (being that this is the Internet and all). Just because someone may not have good grammar online doesn't necessarily mean that they're incapable of writing complete sentences with proper grammar.
But all in all, the article was pretty funny. I loved the picture of the guy flipping off the viewer with the caption "I have a f***ing disease, OK?" And the Internet "disabilities" they listed and described are so true. Lol

code]I dislike the Aspger's one since not everyone who has it is=troll. I have a mild case of it myself, and a friend of my sister's has a major case of it.

Good read. Number five was funny. My brother is that way, actually. Whenever he posts anything, he expects instant gratification.
I'm a bit of a Grammar Nazi. I seldom call people out on it, though. I am afraid of having number 6 happen to me if I do strike down my ruler.
