		Pedantry - everything that bored you to death in high school
		Yes, it's been too long, but between the move, the job, my dysfunctional computer and the transition from a furnished apartment in a cozy college town to an unfurnished apartment across the street from the Georgian embassy in Brussels has taken quite a toll.
		At the same time, I will be moving Pedantry to a new format, a new URL and relaunching it.

	Pedant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pedantry can also be an indication of certain developmental disorders.
		Those with Asperger's tend to obsess over the minutiae of subjects, and are prone to giving long detailed expositions, and the related corrections, and may gravitate to careers in academia or science where such obsessive attention to detail is often rewarded.
		Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder is also in part characterized by a form of pedantry that is overly concerned with the correct following of rules, procedures and practices.

	Jon Skeet's Coding Blog : Pedantry - how much is too much?
		Pedantry is rarely popular, but I believe it does bring value to a discussion, especially when some subtleties are involved.
		Pedantry, insofar as it furthers the potential for clarity in a technical discussion, is 100%without reproach.

	Asparagus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This term itself derives from the Greek aspharagos or asparagos, and the Greek term originates from the Persian asparag, meaning "sprout" or "shoot." The original Latin name has now supplanted the English word.
		Asparagus was also corrupted in some places to "sparrow grass"; indeed, John Walker stated in 1791 that "Sparrow-grass is so general that asparagus has an air of stiffness and pedantry."
		In their simplest form, the shoots are boiled or steamed until tender and served with a light sauce like hollandaise or melted butter or a drizzle of olive oil with a dusting of Parmesan cheese.

		While it is not indeed fitted for liturgical use, Father Taunton (History and Growth of Church Music, 78-9) defends it; and Rockstro, refusing to discuss the question whether its sensuous beauty befits the theme, thinks that "critics who judge it harshly, and dilettanti who can listen to it unmoved.
		must either be case-hardened by pedantry, or destitute of all 'ear for music'".
		The long list may close with Dvorák, who, in his original musical phrases, illustrated anew the perennial freshness of the theme.

		The common proverbial maxims of prudence, being founded in universal experience, are perhaps the best general rules which can be given about it.
		To affect, however, a very strict and literal adherence to them would evidently be the most absurd and ridiculous pedantry.
		Malthus appreciated that "prudential restraint from marriage" might serve to delay the age at marriage and to reduce population growth from its maximum rate.

	Pedantry
		One would think that someone who claims to have a mission of pointing out other's, often minor, errors would at least be paying closer attention.
		I invented Pedantry and named it after myself.
		It seems to me that a true pedant would be aware of another invention called a "dictionary." Using one before embarrassing yourself by making this ridiculous statement might have been a good idea.
