To appease the pedants running rampant in this group...


I've never seen it used like that before, so I had to look it up.

ped·ant (n)

1. One who pays undue attention to book learning and formal rules.
2. One who exhibits one's learning or scholarship ostentatiously.
3. (Obsolete) A schoolmaster.

Then there's the manager who wanted to have someone fired for being
"pedantic", confusing it with the word "pedophile". (Somewhere on the Scott
Adams/Dilbert website)
