it reminds me of Homestarrunner, or more particulary, Strongbad.

I had to do it.

"If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador?" - Darth Vader, Star Wars

A consul is similar or identical to an ambassador. Consular is an adjective, used to describe something that is doing a consul's duties or similar to a consul.

A counselor is someone who gives advice.

Spelling makes a difference, people. If you're not sure, look it up.

(I knew that. I actually had a small disclaimer up for a bit about the difference between consular and counselor, but it kinda detracted from the comic.)

Oh, not trying to imply that you don't know that. Just pointing out that if that misspelling hadn't been in the original, Void's answer would have been very different. Probably equally funny, but different.

I didn't intend a personal attack on anyone - more of a comment on how the Internet is dissolving our collective ability to spell and use readable English. The question wasn't bad, but the misspelling was of a rather crucial word, and it's sort of emblematic of the rampant language abuse you'll find almost anywhere online.

You just earned about fifty respect points from me. It's always a pleasant surprise seeing fellow lovers-of-grammar outside of communities like grammarpolice. :)
