It’s so a word!

There was a cartoon somewhere that said something like “I can’t leave now, someone is WRONG on the internet!”

Truer words have never been spoken.

I spent almost 10 minutes today fighting with an idiot who could not see an elephant if it came and sat on its face. I refuse to attribute a gender to that thing or call it a person for that matter because that would mean we are the same species. Now…how did it come to this? I was having an interesting discussion with someone about A clockwork orange, V for Vendetta and 1984 and mentioned that there are other dystopian movies out there, as great as those. Then weed-brain came along with the comment “You mean utopian.” And all hell broke loose. Below is the conversation:

“You mean utopian.”
“No, I mean dystopian.”
“Actually I’m pretty sure you mean utopian…’cause, you know, dystopian is not a real word.”
“Dystopian is very much a real word. And characterizing the society in any of those movies as utopian makes absolutely no sense.” <--- Please note that I refrained myself from calling it idiotic.
“Yes it does.”
“Nope, not really.”
“Well, why not?”
“Because Utopia is a perfect place, especially in it’s social, political and moral aspects. I am pretty sure there is no way you could ever consider any of the societies we were talking about utopian.”
“Whatever! But dystopian is still not a real word.” <- Ah, the old "Whatever" line!
“Yes, it is. It is the antonym of utopian.”
“You made it up just to sound smart. It does not exist, you idiot!”
At this point I linked to Webster, where it indeed stated that it is a real word.
“It’s wrong.”
“Huh…thank god you came along and enlightened us then.”
“There is no need for sarcasm.”
“You called me an idiot. I think I am allowed to a little sarcasm, after I’ve proven you are wrong.”
“You haven’t proven anything!”
I again linked to Webster, as well as 4 more online dictionaries, all stating that it is a real word.
“You just can’t admit you’re wrong.”
“Nope. I can’t. That’s why I hacked into every one of those 5 websites and added it just so I can win a silly fight.”
“You’re all just idiots and mean, too!”

At this point I believe it ran for its mommy. It did make for quite a few laughs after it was over and our conversation was resumed. Also, I have taken the liberty to correct a few spelling errors. There is no hope left for the human kind.
