Imagine needing more humidity in a room and instead of getting a humidifier, you get a dehumidifier. This would further aggravate the initial problem, and it would underline the fact that perhaps you really do deserve to wear a dunce cap. We should all get our humidifier and dehumidifier definitions and stark differences right before we even begin to go shopping, let alone start to lecture a fellow colleague on the importance of dehumidifying an already arid room.
