"Si un mot dans le dictionnaire était mal orthographié comment le saurions-nous"
— Steven Wright
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you look up a word in the dictionary to check its spelling, but what if that word is written incorrectly in the dictionary itself? Normally, the dictionary is where we go to find the correct spellings. If even the dictionary has mistakes, it would be difficult to trust the spellings it shows. Consider a teacher known for always giving the right answers. If this teacher makes a mistake, how would the students know? They usually rely on the teacher for accurate information. This idea tells us that sometimes, things we rely on might not be perfect. It’s important to remember that even trusted sources can have flaws. By being aware of this, we can be more careful and maybe double-check important details, even from sources we think are always right. It's good to use multiple references to ensure we're getting the correct information.
