What I cannot defend, however, is asshattery in the name of grammar.
Lexicographer Kory Stamper makes the plea for grammarians to be less douchey this National Grammar Day. I appreciate the sentiment, but feel like it’s asking people to say “Yarr” less on Talk Like A Pirate Day. This isn’t lost on Kory, who warns against “vigilante peeving” and encourages grammarians to use the day in positive ways.
