That’s really funny. Good use of the dictionary in the online comic world.

But this cartoon dates back 3,5 years and changing it now would feel like changing history. So I won’t.

In the comic strip, I would liked to have seen “definitely” spelled correctly. Even my eight-year-old grandniece (second grade) can spell that word appropriately! (She knows the word does not have an “a” in it.)

Did any of you consider that it was misspelled on purpose?
