If we're going to talk about language, then it's far from pedantic to insist on using it properly while doing so.

- dpark 14y agoI was poking fun, but complaining about the use of the word "grammar" here is quite pedantic. Swapping the word "grammar" for something more strictly correct would have yielded no improvement to the conversation.
- nollidge 14y ago> would have yielded no improvement to the conversation thats true freehunter didnt need to use the most best word in order to get acrost the course grain jyst of his thaughts but at sum point the lak of exact language use does become a hinderance to smoothe discorse and i guess id rather air on the side of accurasy and preciseness and ask the same of others even if that meens i risk being thaught a pedant
- dpark 14y agoYes, that's exactly what the conversation looked like when he said "grammar" instead of "semantics". I'm glad you've saved us from such dereliction of discourse.
