Two Lessons, One Comic

Or maybe two half lessons. Here’s the comic:
First lesson: The pronunciation of “nuclear” is undergoing linguistic transition. The dictionaries are even giving both pronunciations. A similar duo that I’d be a bit more dogmatic about is calvary and cavalry. You know the difference, right?
Second lesson: This is an example of sarcasm, which is saying the opposite of what you mean. Sarcasm is a legitimate figure of speech, so only we curmudgeons really care about it.
