In this case, “anxious” is more appropriate than first suspected.

I hope JoJo does a nunchaku routine! The lumps would be epic!!

Grammar Police fail. Anxious also means : ardently or earnestly wishing.

Interesting look the twins have in the final panel!

Dear Dot— Put a sock in it. Thank you!

Then I’m anxious about this whole situation.

Annoying lady, isn’t she?

I would tell tell that old bat to quit correcting everyone all the time or get the heck outta here. She thinks she’s so freaking superior, she just has to show it. What A beeyatch

Or very scared.

Looks like Dot has triggered a few people here. I guess I like her because I do the same thing she does. My friend says “This works pretty good!” whereupon I always correct him: “Works pretty WELL.” He gives me a mostly blank look with just a hint of irritation, repeats his sentence with no correction, and carries straight on. “Pearls before swine…” I mutter.

Unless you are in a classroom situation with actual students, it is rude and obnoxious to correct a person’s grammar. Dot is out of line.

I understand Dot’s frustration over poor grammar but, I resist correcting anyone. That’s not my place. My pet peeve is when someone has witnessed something and is asked about it on the TV news, would say " I SEEN" such and such, instead of "I SAW ". Arrrrr. I also have a friend who always says “fittin’ ta”. I’ve corrected her many times but, she continues saying it, so I don’t anymore.

She sits corrected.

“Class, today we will study English grammar.”“But Teacher, we done that yesterday!”

Anxious is as good a word as any under the circumstances
