I agree with you BTW but you're still a pedant
Kyu
Lol seriously?
EDIT: Lol i checked the defintion and I'd agree I am a bit pedantic lol, I thought pedantic was more negative than the defintion seems to be lol.
I thought it was like dogmatic or preachy, seems to be more obsessively passionate about language and learning lol.
Doesn't sound as bad as I thought it was lol...I think informally it is used to mean worse than the formal definition implies. If that makes any sense lol.
P.S, from Wikipedia: 'Being referred to as a pedant, or pedantic, is generally considered insulting.[1] However some people take pride in being a pedant, especially with regard to the use of the English language.[2] In an attempt to avoid censure, people who wish to make a correction might preface it with "not wishing to be pedantic, but ..." or "without being a pedant, ...".'
