Area woman Andrea DiVerdi, free-lance writer and graduate student at the University of Colorado has repeatedly chastised others for using incorrect grammer in recent weeks, intentionally pointing out their grammatical shortcomings, while inadvertantly pointing out her own self-worth issues, sources reported Wednesday.

"The other day I tried to ask her if she wanted to go out to a bar with me and some other people," says roommate of four months John Chambers. "I said, 'Andrea, you want to go party with us?' and she goes off the hook. She starts blasting me for using verbs wrong or something. It's not like this isn't obviously about her shitty novel getting rejected again."
Psychiatrists have long believed that insecurities can be made manifest in certain behaviors, in DiVerdi's case, through "being a crazy bitch about grammer".
"The other day my friend Julia [Fellion] told me that Andrea had run out of money and wouldn't be able to work on her degree next semester," says friend Laura Benedict. "So I stayed the hell away from her for about a week. I don't need anyone prejecting their shit on my sentence structure."
Though her "irritating English thing" has been much more prominent recently, high school friend Marylin Belmonte says the situation is a familiar one to her.
"Andrea has always used her knowledge of English usage to feel big about herself, especially when something bad happens to her. One time she got stood up for a dance, and so she called me up just to yell at me about how people are always splitting infinitives. I just told her how pathetic and sad it was to be a childish know-it-all. I was talking for a while, telling her how transparent and boring she was being, and suddenly she just interupts and says, 'Well Miss Run-On-Sentence, I guess you've showed me how you feel!' and she hung up. I was just like, 'What the fuck was that?' That was the last time I ever talked to her."
