Defining the "wry" in wry comment
Sometime ago Chris Rijk sent me a reference to an OpenSolaris discussion on "Solaris Viruses." Since there aren’t any, the discussion is short and pointed - but included something I think ought to be cited in future dictionaries trying to define the term "wry" as in wry humour or wry commentary.
It’s by James Carlson:

"Special". Right.
