Carol: I just fired off a scathing letter to a columnist for misusing the word "dongle."

I'm intoxicated with the feeling of verbal superiority. My sad life has meaning. I feel alive!

"Dear Nutbag... link to a dictionary..." Um... oops... it appears that I was wrong.

Dilbert: Now do you apologize?

Carol: Plan B: I accuse him of hating minorities.
