What does dictionary.com say about pedantic?

Just kidding.... I'm a word-Nazi myself...

[RMDupree]

Ah! But a violent emotion could also be someone freaking out with joy, jumping and leaping about, screaming at the top of their lungs, couldn't it?

I could definitely injure somebody in the state I'm in right now! :-)
