    I was on the phone today with a friend. Here's how part of the conversation went: Me: I guess I was being a pedantic a$$. Him: Pedantic? Who even says that they're being pedantic?! Me: Pedantic people. I thought that was pretty funny. :-D

        I'd tell you, but I don't want to be pedantic about it. ;P

              Are you suggesting that a career in development is genetically derived? Or am I being pedantic?

                Ignore the sub literate "mathletes" in the peanut gallery, they'd find an equation far funnier I imagine. :)

                    It's all good. I didn't expect my thread to receive much in the way of positive feedback. I posted it for the few people who happen to "get it." :)

                      Josh is from New York - I guess that should explain it in some way. :)

                        It's not their fault: the great majority here have brains that are more math oriented than literary oriented; they often seem to miss a good turn of phrase and get all logical and boring about it instead. :)

                          Great distinction. You nailed it on the head.
