My perspective is as valid as yours. I was just offering a counterpoint to your point. For me, pedantic means meticulous, precise and exact, so I take that as a compliment. Thanks! One more thing: there is a second 'l" in ophthalmologist. I make mistakes too. Let's be friends!
I wish your words would rub off on me. I have a 15 page paper to write and can't seem to write anything beyond pedestrian. sorry off topic
