I don't care much how these get tagged; this was named after
the "style(9) police", if that matters.

One of the main meanings of the verb "police", according
to www.m-w.com is "to make clean and put in order", and
I used it pretty much in this sense (and I thought that
"style(9) police" means this same).

But if native speakers think differently, I'm fine with it.
