#doktorvater (deadpan and dry): have you considered that they might be entirely wrong

[oldshrewsburyian]

Every academic has a Scholarly Nemesis, right? right. My Scholarly Nemesis and I are so far being coolly polite to each other and giving only the very reserved version of "I fear your premises and conclusions are alike unsound, such a shame; I mean, I guess I could be wrong, because one of us is."

The bit that worries me is that autocorrect keeps turning part of this person's name to Seething. So when I politely cite their work, autocorrect Freudian-slips me and I have to make sure that I do not show any other academics the work that says my scholarly nemesis is Seething.
