RedDawn comments on I have no fucking idea what the Dialectic is and I'm not in any hurry to learn.

No, that’s a dielectric. A dialectic is somebody who can’t eat much sugar because their body doesn’t produce enough insulin.

No, that's a diabetic. Easy to get them confused, but a dialectic is a glyph added to a letter to distinguish it from similar letters, i.e. ü vs. u.

No, that's a diacritic. Dialectics is the set of practices and ideas practiced by Scientologists, invented in 1950 by L. Ron Hubbard.

No, that's Dianetics. Dialectics are a type of computer hardware from the 90's that uses the telephone network to connect to the internet

This is the first time I've ever seen an actually clever and funny pun comment chain.
