Bahahahaha, you're very observant! I'm a microbiologist by training; I have a very special and strange love for bacteria and viruses. My employer does extensive antidotal (e.g., medications, vaccines, etc.) research with bacteria and viruses, and I'm part of the very large team of people that accomplishes that stuff. However, my knack for attention-to-detail, grammar, and the like has caused my career to be sent down that path. So basically, I am responsible for ensuring that my employer's studies are scientifically accurate and in compliance with applicable regulations. So yeah, in addition to many other things, I verify and edit every word of our scientific reports (if calculations are involved, I verify every calculation; if we say such-and-such conclusion was reached, I confirm that our raw data backs up that conclusion); this includes grammatical corrections. In answer to your question, I guess I've trained myself to pick up on these things because I don't want errors in my reports, no matter how insignificant.

And that's a really long, rambling answer to your question, hahaha. Short answer: I'm weird and think bacteria and viruses are all manner of fun (especially viruses...I love them, okay).
