I typically agree with your grammar grumpiness, but you’re off base on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,140 Posted November 15 2 hours ago, Sleepiestpeep said: Hating on something, on the other hand, is vocally and publicly criticising it - which is something you can also do if you don't feel hatred towards the thing. Some people may be using it this way, but hoi polloi have given up using "hate" by itself in favour of "hate on". They think that's correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
