- sbarre 6y agoYes, that's exactly what I said.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoI'm afraid I must have misunderstood you. To describe my comment as pedantic perhaps inverted your intended meaning, or at least I got the wrong end of the stick. No offence intended anyway.
- sbarre 6y agoNo, you understood correctly. I said your comment was pedantic, and your response was basically confirming that you were indeed being pedantic. pedantic: overly concerned with minute details or formalisms. Obviously the original poster didn't _literally_ mean enter any noun at all, because that wouldn't work. Perhaps their choice of wording could have been better but the argument was pretty clear in the context of the discussion. I think any reasonable person who was interested in participating in the actual discussion would understand their point, unless they were trying to be... _pedantic_ about it. Enter your comment, where you cherry-pick 3 nouns - out of thousands of possible activities that could have worked just fine - so as to be able to proclaim "a-ha! you are incorrect, sir".. which ultimately brought nothing constructive to the conversation. I hope that clarification helps!
