Is it me or my laptop isn't rendering the Unicode in the title text well? My laptop uses UTF-8. Boeing-787lover 16:55, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Space Trip would probably be Star Trek, right?

Is this supposed to be related to "Thing explainer"? But then there are words like government, and Vulcan...

Funny, I would've said "''The Sword Wizard'''s Are''' Back''"... I've always interpreted that instance of ''Jedi'' as being plural.

1443: Language Nerd

2014-11-05T08:22:39Z

Vor0nwe: /* Explanation */

{{comic
| number = 1443
| date = November 5, 2014
| title = Language Nerd
| image = language_nerd.png
| titletext = Not to go all sentence fragment on you.
}}

==Explanation==
Megan is telling Cueball that she used 'legit' as an adverb. By saying this - i.e. "I (...) adverbed" - she's using 'adverb' as a verb. In the beginning of the sentence she also used 'language nerd' as an adjective, which is why she's saying that she "adjectived" it.

==Transcript==
Megan: I don't mean to go all language nerd on you, but I just legit adverbed "legit", verbed "adverb" and adjectived "language nerd".
