Title banner: FUNTIME ACTIVITY: OUTDORKING WORD-DORKS
Panel 1:
Man (with dark hair, purple shirt): "And I *really* hate when people say 'irregardless.'"
Woman (with dark curly hair, round glasses, blue shirt): "*Right?!* 'ir-' is just a corruption of an earlier prefix! It should be *in*regardless."
Votey:
Woman (now glaring with a smug, intense expression): "The only correct language is early hominid grunting sounds."

Title banner reads 'FUNTIME ACTIVITY: OUTDORKING WORD-DORKS.' A single panel shows a man with dark hair and a purple shirt beside a woman with dark curly hair, round glasses, and a blue shirt; she has her hand on his shoulder. The man says, 'And I really hate when people say "irregardless."' The woman, delighted, one-ups him: 'Right?! "ir-" is just a corruption of an earlier prefix! It should be inregardless.' In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the same woman now staring with a smug, narrow-eyed intensity declares, 'The only correct language is early hominid grunting sounds.' The joke: a pedantry contest escalates until she out-dorks everyone by rejecting all language.
