Twitter Users Go Grammar Nazi On Barack Obama, But ‘Madder’ Is An Actual Word

Twitter may be limited to 140 characters, but to some users, that’s no excuse to jack up your grammar.

This couldn’t be more evident than a tweet posted yesterday morning by President Barack Obama:

“No one is madder than me about the fact that the website isn’t working as well as it should … It’s going to get fixed.” —President Obama

According to Merriam-Webster, madder is an actual word, and its definition is pretty self-explanatory.

However, in the minds of several Twitter users, that’s totally not the case:

@BarackObama “Madder” is not a word.

@BarackObama the term is “more mad”. “Madder” is a Eurasian plant.

While Barack Obama used a real word, he did make one simple grammatical error:

@BarackObama “madder” is correct….the “me” is not. Should be “madder than I” Use subjective case after verb, to be. U can do it!
