The word "grammatic" isn't even in Merriam-Webster online. In
Dictionary Online it is given the meaning "of or pertaining to

use of grammar - the word for which is grammatical.
The OED has no entry for grammatic.
Mine does, and that's just the Shorter OED.
When I'm feeling really pedantic I cycle seven miles to the public
library to consult the full 24 volume edition.
I'm sure that should be 'pedantical'...
Or even a 'pedal antic', in your case...??? :-)
(Hint for the crossposted Yanks - it's both good English and an 'anagram',
respectively..... :-)
