As the dictionary's popularity continued to grow, Emma and Max started receiving requests for a print edition. They decided to publish a limited run of hardcover books, which quickly sold out. The book became a collector's item, with some copies selling for thousands of dollars online.

But as the fame and attention grew, so did the criticism. Some people began to accuse Emma and Max of taking sarcasm too far, of being mean-spirited and hurtful. Emma responded by saying that sarcasm was meant to be a coping mechanism, a way to deal with the absurdities of life. She argued that, when used responsibly, sarcasm could be a powerful tool for social commentary and critique.

Max, on the other hand, took a more tongue-in-cheek approach. He joked that the dictionary was simply a reflection of the world we live in, where people were more likely to shoot off a quick witty remark than engage in a genuine conversation.
