A773778 Dilbert - The Comic Strip

I made use of the IID this morning and there are two things I'm not sure about.

First:

>>ransforming over time into the satirical play on the inner workings of a faceless conglomerate that we have all come to know and love<<

I had never heard of Dilbert, so opening an entry with something as mysterious as this may not be wise.

Second:

>>Second, she's obviously lower paid than either Dilbert or Wally. Well, obviously - she's a woman.<<

I think this should be 'both Dilbert and Wally', not 'either or', but since I don't know the comic, I can't tell. It's just an impression I got form the context, and anyway, it doesn't make sense if it's only one of them whose pay is higher.

Fixed

Cheers Danny.

Bel,

"lower paid than either Dilbert or Wally" means the same as "lower paid than both Dilbert and Wally", and is a more usual way of saying this. But I've no objection to either way of saying it.

The link on 'nearly' at the end of the entry is broken. Trouble is, removing the link would render the sentence pointless, unless another disapproving link could be found.

Fixed!

Sorry, obviously my understanding of either or is totally wrong. I learnt something new again.
