The reason we have the grammar police but not the math police is that grammar is somehow encoded in our brains at a more fundamental level than math. I don't remember all the details but guys like Stephen Pinker argue that there's a fundamental language logic we are born with and it's expressed in grammar. I don't think such a fundamental encoding exists for math, it's more of an abstraction we learn long after we've learned to speak grammatically correctly (or is that "correct"?). Having said that - yes we absolutely need the Math Police! Especially because math is easier to agree on than what's correct grammar. "I didn't say nothin' to nobody" to mean "I didn't say anything to anybody" might seem incorrect when to some but still follows a fundamental grammar logic of its own so I think the Math Police's arrest to conviction ratio would be much better.
