Ryan Matzner, a Tallahassee, Fla., reader, writes: "You say that 'strategy' and 'tactics' are not synonyms. Well, dictionary.com seems to disagree. I agree that dictionary.com isn't the Oxford English Dictionary, but the site is quickly becoming considered the official dictionary of the Internet."

Would you trust an Internet dictionary that can't even explain the relationship between "epicaricacy" and "schadenfreude"?
