Nothing is more apt to persuade someone who has left an asinine comment on a message board that he was wrong than using the phrase "you are a douche bag" to conclude your counter-argument.
Better still is too make "douchebag" into a single term. That's twisting the rhetorical knife.
It's been nearly a month and no one has called me on the egregious typo in the last paragraph. Clearly I didn't mean "too"; even a casual reader would notice that.
ReplyDeleteScrew it. I'm not correcting it until someone comments on it.
Assuming anyone ever comes back and reads it to notice, that is.
