Yikes! (and sigh..) Thanks. loved that; before it was mortifying, it was a great puzzle to figure out what you were talking about. (but inside, I knew I hadn’t proofread the ending remark.)
This is greatly due to my rewriting, and rewriting my comment for a half hour (maybe more) before sending. Why I often don’t proofread the final version must somehow be related to my dismay and to the fact that I am spending so much time doing something so unimportant that I start yelling in my head to “stop!”
IRK, I suggest that you learn what “grammar” is before your next attempt at vilifying someone. Grammar has nothing (or very little) to do with the spelling or the meaning of a particular noun.
( I decided to say “noun” instead of “word” to exempt thinking about conjunctions and declensions; they add many extra words to the vocabulary of some popular languages in order to clarify syntactic function/meaning, which IS part of their Grammar’s rules of, for example, sentence structure. Picking the right form is probably the hardest and frustrating thing; so in that area of a person’s word use, I tread lightly and only if the speaker seams to be suffering.)
I’m sure that nearly every reader properly scrolling the strip were working it out and then shouting, some silently, "It’s an Abba-cus! I think Dan should have delayed the response ’til the next day.
In Get Fuzzy, I particularly love the pets misunderstanding of a word and my having to go back a panel to find what happened, at which time, I almost always laugh.
It took me two days to satisfyingly parse the whole thing correctly. very satisfying.
I’m glad I kept getting side-tracked and had to go through my list to find the correct date to start again with.
