“Dear PoPville,
We have twice seen the vanity license plate with the name “N1GR8TR” (see photo attached).
As an African American professional living in the District this was pretty disturbing. One can only assume this is translated into “ni*ger hater” or “ni*gerator”. Either way, we would like to know how the DC government could allow this hateful “slogan” to be put on a license plate in a city.
Could you help us get an answer from the DC government and perhaps readers can let us know if its possible to ask that a license plate be recalled due to a hateful saying.”
DC DMV replied:
“To me, this license plate says none or possibly no one greater. What is the person finding offensive about it?”
They have not responded to the OP’s explanation above.
Update 1:48pm: By telephone DC DMV reiterated that the license plate stands for no one greater. They would not comment on the OP’s interpretation.
Update via email 1:59pm:
“Since the license plate stands for “no one greater,” DC DMV does not have a basis to recall it.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
