Roger's Perspective Skewed by Dictionary

Agleteer Roger contacted The Supreme Aglet regarding a recent post, I Need to Answer that Note About the Refridgerator Recall, complaining that the word "refridgerator" has no "d" in it, insisting that the correct spelling is "refrigerator".

Of course, there is a certain charm in watching one attempt to point out an error in the work of The Supreme Aglet, not unlike watching my 4-year-old sternly giving me some sort of admonition about her little tea cup set. At the same time, I do not wish to discourage such liberal thought--that is, I do not wish to stifle anyone's free thinking, even if that free thinking leads to something as ridiculous as questioning the accuracy of The Supreme Aglet. (Note that I have no fear of the use of the term "liberal", though I am not a socialist.)

Obviously, Agleteer Roger's mistake is that he came to his conclusion as a result of consulting a dictionary, which I found rather quaint. It is as if the dictionary is the final wurd on speeling.

The word "refridgerator" has a "d" in it, indeed. The "d" was placed there by The Supreme Aglet, and I do not apologize for having altered that word forever as a result of my use of it in that way. If more refridgerators had d's in them, perhaps their days would be lengthened. Perhaps dinner would taste better. Perhaps Diet A&W Root Beer would be more prevalent. I could go on.

Suffice to say that Agleteer Roger's futile attempt to find an error in these important and highly accurate writings did not succeed, although he deserves points for trying, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.
