I rarely add my editorial comments when posting to this list, yet I have stepped out a bit on this thread. Further, I hate pedants, and try not to be pedantic, but alas, I do not always succeed.

I went back to college in the '90s to finish my business degree, left dormant 40 years. I was stuck in a class of young things for orientation discussing "style" as it referred to papers, footnotes, end notes, etc. I asked a question, using the word "pedantic" and stopped the class cold. None of those sweet young things knew the meaning, or the usage of the word. LOL.
