Many people now identify as “Grammar Nazis,” and from personal experience, having been surrounded by some and once identifying with the label myself when it was very popular, I can assure you that the term is not used lightly. It’s that serious and all-encompassing.
Just a day ago, TikTok user @jezacat uploaded a video to her account, saying her story might ruffle some feathers because she believed it would be easier for people to criticize her about it. So, what was this story about? In her video, @jezacat talked about how she matched with and then unmatched a guy on a dating website after she noticed he didn’t know how to spell “sue” and kept writing “sew” instead.
TikTok user @jezacat matched and then unmatched with a guy
TikTok user @jezacat has a strong opinion on dating, especially regarding men: they should be held to a certain standard. A day ago, Jezebel posted a TikTok video where she talked about matching and then unmatching with a guy the same day after he gave her the “ick.”
@jezacat mentions that she was talking with the guy she matched with about lawsuits, and for some reason, he was spelling “sue” as “sew,” which bothered her a lot. Not only that, but when he was using the word in the continuous tense, instead of writing “suing,” he was writing it as “sewing,” irritating Jezebel even more. Talking about the matter in her video, Jezebel mentions that when she was speaking with the guy and had sent a voice memo, she added that she likes to converse through voice memos because she prefers having conversations outside of just texting, before she could start dating anyone. He said that he also liked to do the same. However, his reason was very different from hers. He said he likes to converse via voice memos because he wants to make sure that the person he might date doesn’t have an annoying voice, or at least one that’s tolerable despite being annoying. Jezebel, in her video, says that his saying something like this is an obvious red flag and the final nail in the coffin, which eventually led her to block him. She concluded her video by saying that, instead of nitpicking women over their habits and behavior, he should focus on improving his grammar. “Worry about yourself, worry about yourself, and then focus on the girls’ voices,” she said, before adding, “Sue me!”
TikTok user @jezacat’s video has garnered significant momentum
Many people left comments under @jezacat’s video, sharing their thoughts on the topic discussed. Most people made fun of the situation. User @samanthaflood1 said, “That’s sew valid.” User @moonchild_417 wrote, “plot twist: he’s really passionate about sewing and was confused why you kept spelling it suing.”
Many people shared their own experiences of being in similar situations. User @perksofbeinglexie wrote, “I once talked to a guy that said “oh will” instead of “oh well” and it genuinely pissed me off every single time. Also, the fact that each text would have one or two “hahaha” in them.” User @jus10jvv said, “I was in a LONG term relationship, on our 1 year anniversary he made a post and spelled my name wrong. Why was my standards so low I stayed.”
