You are correct, though it looks like there was some intent behind the choice.
Also if you're not happy with it, this comic is libre and open source, you can fork it and redistribute it with the words you like as long as you respect the license.
I call bullshit. That's a ridiculous argument to use in the same sentence as an archaic form of "sacrifice."
probably related to him being french
Agreed. It would even be "a golden twenty die!", which lives little room for thinking it's the verb.
Could have gone with D20.
"I'll buy a dice."
"'Die', Larry!"
"Pardon me. I didn't know you were that competitive. Maybe I should come back later when you calm down."
"Larry! Darling. It's one DIE, two DICE. Dice is the plural of die."
"Oh, well, I knew that. Never mind."
It's amazing how many people not only screw it up, but insist you're wrong when you try to correct them.
Language changes, die sounds stupid, and yes I will dice on this hill
Just because language is stupid and human-made, and just because you're correct, that doesn't make the comic author correct 🤣
"die" sucks so bad as a word. I propose we change it to "douse"
Just make it “dee” like how people pronounce “D20” and it can keep “dice” as its plural.
"I'm feeling lucky, give me the dee"
At least buy me dinner first.
