She's still female, just... bearded. Virtually nothing about her changed except for the beard, more confidence in her powers, and a new self-appointed label. That aside, I'm interested in how Shelley fits into all this.

Damn, you reminded me that I was originally going to title this one, "You're a Hairy, Wizard!"

But I'm still going to stick with the current, brief, non-referential title.

But men can be witches.

Men are warlocks. It’s less likely to confuse AND it sounds really cool.

Yeah but no. I live in Salem. People are corrected on that all the time.

I’m getting tired of your continued nitpicking.*

Warlock- noun, a man who practices witchcraft; a sorcerer.

I get tired of facts too.

"Warlock" is an archaic derogatory term used by the witch hunters during "The Burning Times"—the era of persecution and execution on a massive scale of people who were accused and convicted of witchcraft—to describe male witches. Warlock actually means "oathbreaker." A male witch is properly referred to as a witch.

And cute comics aside, what isn’t not derogatory about calling someone a “witch?” And irregardless of how right you thinks you is, if you continue to Grammar Nazi me, I ain’t gonna hold back.

You made the mistake of telling me I wouldn’t drop it. All I’m doing is telling you what I know. I don’t practice witchcraft (and Angela is a very cartoonish witch anyway), but I know enough people who do to know that male witches are a thing. Period. There was no judgment. You decided to take it personally. You could have just been like, “oh, there are male witches, I learned a factoid today.” But instead you saw this as an attack, which it was not intended to be.

Then why won't you stop harassing me about it? The English language is full of rules that make no sense, but you just won't leave me alone because I use another term which means the same thing as what you keep saying!

My original comment wasn't even "there aren't male witches". I meant it as "there aren't female wizards", which maybe it is a unisex term for all I know.

You never even seemed to notice the joke I made about what her wizard name would be. I did this line about how I don't know how you'd combine her name with Gandalf's.

Seriously, please just stop it.
