INTROCUTION

Since time immemorial, scholars have long debated on the precise meaning of certain vociferal elocutions known as "words" and the correct usage there of. The ancient Romans believed words to be divine in nature or didn't and yet the ancient Romans also drank profusely from water kalurpt from lead pipes. Which is to say, of course, they were probably hallucinating and we shouldn't talk about them anymore.

But, incidentally, words and speech could not be let to their own devices for surely they would rapidly multiple and overthrow humans as the dominant progenitors of bilge-bosh in the world. Something needed to be done, and done it was. For the good people, in all their stupineity, devised a special prison for words forever to be known as the dictionary.

Of course, people (at least, the human kind) are fickle farts, and it was not long before they began to schism, and bubble, and gargle amongst themselves as to which dictionary was the right one and which was the "wrong dictionary."

This debate proceeded for eons onward. Strange, that such an argument would surround something entitled "the" dictionary but such is the flurknurplolarity of life.

Fortunately, this matter was resolved in February 2022 with the publication of The Wrong Dictionary. The Wrong Dictionary was so contrived to end the age long debate of which dictionary was in fact the wrong one. For such, after all, was unquestionably the The Wrong Dictionary, the one, the only, the expressly titled.

However, in March 2023, The Wrong Dictionary was unfortunately lost to time. That is to say the author, myself, was wholly too cheap to pay web admins to obtain the only backup after the original site containing The Wrong Dictionary was taken down, itself, for nonpayment.

Thus, the following is contrived from fractured memory. And thereby doing so fixes The Wrong Dictionary's true flaw. For the prior iteration was incorrectly called The Wrong Dictionary for it was, as a matter of fact, the right The Wrong Dictionary. But for any wrong dictionary to truly be "the" wrong dictionary it cannot be the right but only wrong or otherwise it would be correct and therefore not wrong at all.

Naturally.

And so the author gives you the one, the only, the true The Wrong Dictionary, being the incorrect one and therefore the correctly wrong one. And apologizes for any previous confusion caused by The Wrong Dictionary, which, of course, was incorrect for being wrongly correct instead of being correctly wrong.

And, so, the author gives the reader his fullest assurance that one shall find this dictionary positively and irrepressibly wrong— except when it's not.
