The truth came out last July, but it\u2019s taken me eight months to wrap my head around the news. People like me are almost as despised as DUI checkpoints. \u201cDUI checkpoints\u201d rank first on haterdater.com\u2019s list of things people in North Carolina hate most. Grammar nerds (a less offensive term than the one they used) came in second.<\/p>\n

In a way, I am proud that I am No. 2 on any kind of list. I wasn\u2019t even second in my kindergarten graduating class (I was robbed).<\/p>\n

Still\u2026how can grammar nerds like me be so reviled? Probably because we use words like reviled.
\nAnother reason to hate us: Because we roll our eyes if a text-generation coworker meets someone on haterdater and says, \u201cHer and I went to the brewery.\u201d Take the pronouns apart, dude! \u201cI went to the brewery.\u201d \u201cShe went to the brewery,\u201d so \u201cShe and I went to the brewery\u201d is grammatically and maybe even grammarically correct. Obvi\u2026<\/p>\n

Haterdater promises to help you \u201cmeet someone who hates the same stuff.\u201d Sounds like the perfect site for single grammar nerds looking for #lovethroughhate. Maybe there\u2019s a chance that married grammar nerds can get a pass on this one. https:\/\/bit.ly\/2GyBvUx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
