a "zero tolerance" approach

[嘟嘟嘟嘟]

I prefer Lynne Truss's phraseology: I am a grammar "sticker". And, like Truss, I have a "zero tolerance" approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.

What does "approach" mean in the context? Thanks!

It means "method"

I think you meant "stickler" instead of "sticker".

I take approach to mean stance, standpoint or attitude.

Yes, I agree. But taking a zero tolerance attitude (or adopting some other mental stance) is not likely to do much unless you act on it, which then makes it a method.
