Since others have been poking fun but not helping...

"Who's" = "Who is". So the post title asks "Who is rolling grave [...]".

Instead, it should be "whose", which is the possessive form of "who". It's equivalent to "yours" or "his".

So what you’re saying is that grammarians, with their total collective rollage, would be the correct answer.

Perhaps, in order to simplify, William Bullokar would be a good answer?

I’m sure I made mistakes here because one can’t discuss grammar without completely fucking it up.
