Added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary in 2018, wordie describes someone who delights in language’s shifting landscape. Wordies know the language rules and where they come from, and then they make informed calls about whether or not to follow the rule in a given context.

When I notice a new species in the language out in the wild (metaphorically speaking) and have an urge to stamp it out—that’s my inner grammando talking.
