"What a asshole."

As a grammer cops, it's my duty to point out that the proper usage is "What AN asshole.

(When the next word starts with a vowel always use "an" instead of "a".)

“As a grammer cops”?
Grammar & cops are not quite correct.

Don't you just hate it when you correct someone's grammar/spelling/English and you make as big a mistake?

Three errors in your "correction". It should be: "As a grammar cop" and "what 'an' assole" not "what 'AN' asshole".
