Just when I need it, xkcd fires out the perfect comic! I was just exhorting our Insects & People students to keep their study of insects separate from their study of word origins.
Tickled a couple of my funny bones with this one!
The proofreader (occupational hazard) part of my brain was delighted with this!
I proof read academic publications: not only is the writing pretty boring, I am stunned by the number of writers who cannot spell.
Perhaps I should just send them ant and bug pictures when corrections are required!
