Your Definition

This word has a serious Catch-22 issue going on with it.
People who use it to admit that they aren't as [interested] in language skills as much as getting their opinion "out there".

But the people who are Grammar Nazis see themselves as having language skills and are [frustrated] at what they see as the lack of care shown by people who seem to lack language skills.
Language Skills.

It's necessary to have some language skills in order to convey a message, and for that message to be able to be [understood] by anybody who receives it.

It's up to the person who originates the message to make sure that the people who receive the message can [understand] it. If they don't make sure, does that mean they are sloppy?

If a person identifies problems without suggesting a way that the author might improve, does that mean the person is being obsessively picky?

It's up for debate.

But one thing is sure. The term "Grammar Nazi" is a massive hyperbole.

Persons who believe themselves to be linguistically superior and put the spotlight on mistakes are not comparable with Nazis. Think about it.

If you feel like calling a person a Grammar Nazi, sure... the person might be supercilious and arrogant. But at the same time you're being ignorant and oversensitive.

There is no shame in [learning language] skills. Even if it is more than 50 years since you were at school.
