A woman (brown hair, pink bra) lies in bed; a bespectacled man has just taken off his shirt.

Man (thought): "Wrong word! She means sensual! I should — NO! Don't correct her! You have a chance at sex!"
Panel 2:
The woman is taking off her bra; the man stands tense.
Woman: "Mmm... your lips are so erratic."
Man (thought): "Erotic! Erotic! No! Say nothing! Ignore it!"
Panel 3:
The man grimaces, biting down on something to keep himself quiet.
Woman: "I love a man whom's as smart as you."
Man (thought): "Aaah! Aaaah! Aaaah!"

A four-panel SMBC comic about a grammar-obsessed nerd suffering through his partner's misused words. Panel 1: a woman in a pink bra lies in bed as a bespectacled man removes his shirt. She says, "Ooh... you took off your shirt. How sensoral." His frantic thought bubble reads, "Wrong word! She means sensual! I should — NO! Don't correct her! You have a chance at sex!" Panel 2: she removes her bra and says, "Mmm... your lips are so erratic," while he thinks, "Erotic! Erotic! No! Say nothing! Ignore it!" Panel 3: she says, "I love a man whom's as smart as you," and the man, clenching his teeth, only manages internal screams, "Aaah! Aaaah! Aaaah!" Panel 4: to stop himself from correcting her, he has tied a cloth gag around his own mouth and sits sweating and strained, while she happily thinks, "I love sleeping with nerds." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up shows the smiling woman saying, "Now let's literally get down to business" — one more misused word for him to endure.
