The truth came out last July, but it’s taken me eight months
to wrap my head around the news. People like me are almost as despised as DUI
checkpoints. “DUI checkpoints” rank first on haterdater.com’s list of things people
in North Carolina hate most. Grammar nerds (a less offensive term than the one
they used) came in second.
In a way, I am proud that I am No. 2 on any kind of list. I
wasn’t even second in my kindergarten graduating class (I was robbed).
Still…how can grammar nerds like me be so reviled? Probably
because we use words like reviled.
Another reason to hate us: Because we roll our eyes if a text-generation
coworker meets someone on haterdater and says, “Her and I went to the brewery.”
Take the pronouns apart, dude! “I went to the brewery.” “She went to the
brewery,” so “She and I went to the brewery” is grammatically and maybe even
grammarically correct. Obvi…
Haterdater promises to help you “meet someone who hates
the same stuff.” Sounds like the perfect site for single grammar nerds looking for
#lovethroughhate. Maybe there’s a chance that married grammar nerds can get a
pass on this one. https://bit.ly/2GyBvUx
