“What do we know about him, Johnson?”
“Well, Sir, he is an expert in experimental psychology and applied linguistics. Rumor has it, he spent the better part of the last ten years living and working abroad as a language specialist. Our sources tell us he’s returned to the United States – Portland area, and has begun working as a freelance User Experience Designer. Our intelligence reports that he makes things wonderful to use, General.”
“Wonderful to use, you say? Diabolical!”
