Toby,

A quote from your most recent post:

"When I awake at an hour deemed inappropriate by my patriarchic mother..."

What jumps out at me most is your mistaken use of the word Patriarchic. FYI: 'Patriarchic' means of or relating to ones father or the father's genealogy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a bitch about it, nor have I ever thought being overly pedantic was flattering to me. But the poor grasp of the English language that you (and Agatha) display on a regular basis is getting a bit annoying.

Maybe instead of buying a $3K powerbook you should have bought a $15 dictionary.

Dear Palumbo,

You know, I should really get around to buying a dictionary. That way, when I look up “shiteater,” I can see a picture of your hideously deformed face!

Please note that “patriarchic” also means “characteristic of a patriarch.” Enter the joke: I use the word to describe my mother. Try again next time!

Xoxo Toby.
