The Pedantic Bastard War Thread.

[Edwardo Piet]

Welcome to the 'pedantic bastard war(craft(although it's not actually warcraft I just wanted to say warcraft because I thought it sounded cool for some reason, I thought wrong.)) thread' where the aim of the game is to be the biggest pedant (I.e the most pedantic bastard there is, the most pedantic bastard in the land, "THE MOST PEDANTIC BASTARD IN THE WHOLE OF TOYLAND).

Correcting any of the smallest mistakes your opponents (or friends that you are treating as opponents for the sake of this competion, that's why they're your opponents in this compettion, and that's what opponent means), (or tiniest rather than smallest mistakes actually, tiniest sounds smaller than small, I think it MIGHT mean smaller than small too, but not tinier than tiny, tiny cannot be smaller than itself, for that would be something like: tiny tiny I guess).

And also, constantly re explain yourself to make sure people understand even when what you're explaining is obvious. And just stating the obvious in the most pednantic and complicated(ly) unecessary way.

And pointing out your own mistakes rather than simply correcting them.

Begin!

P.S: If you didn't understand the pendantically insane retarded bastardness of the above: This is a thread where the aim is to be the most pedantic bastard you possibly can, and to try and out-do all other other pendants (and to out-do yourself too, pedantically).

As I said, begin! May the pedantic bastards start their hair-splitting picky pendanticness!

Starting. Where should I? That is to say, where should I start?

This is one thread EA was made for.

What do you mean by starting your post just in one word - with the word "starting" - as a sentence right at the beginning there? As your post?

You were just meant to put your pedantic bastard mindset on - and naturally pick out even the pendantic bits of perhaps my intro.

But perhaps its better to start here like this, because all that word salad that was already a bit self-pedantic might have been too difficult to be pedantic with (because it was already kind of self-correctingly obsessively pedantic with itself).

Where should you start? On this thread. Its the pedantic bastard thread. So that's where to start being a pedantic bastard.

Unless you are not asking about where to start being a pedant, but asking where you should start something else - in which case I don't know because I don't know what you are referring to.

If you are asking where to start a fire for example; I might perhaps say: Well at least on earth for a start (to start the start, the start of the fire), I think you may have difficulty trying to go to the moon and start a fire. You are likely to be unsuccessful.

If you were to ask: "Where should I start eating bagels for the first time?". Then I'd have to say (something at least like): "well I don't know, depends where you like eating bagels."

And once again, perhaps its better on earth.

Although you might like failing, (or not succeeding rather) - in which case perhaps its good to try for the moon. Because if you think being unsuccessful with starting a fire, eating a bagel (or whatever other uncountable number of things you might want to start doing), is what you SHOULD do, then perhaps you should attempt to do it at the moon. And that is then in that case, where you should do it perhaps (or at least one unreachable place you are likely to succeed to be unsuccessful at (oh hang on, have you succeeded or not then though? Is that perhaps a bit of a paradox?)).

Carry on.

I have corrected the grammatical error.

I noticed at least two missing apostrophes in EvsF's latest pile of words.

[leo-rcc]

you did indeed. I think I'd better write something to make it even possible to pedant about. What shall I talk about? The fact it is almost 19:00 and I am still at work doing butkiss. And I am starting to wonder if doing a pedant competition in English is such a great idea for me.

[Tiberius]

you did indeed.

Not capitalizing (or "capitalising" depending on where you live) the first letter of a sentence. Point for me.

As have I.

You forgot to tell us what you had done. One questionable point to me.
