Quote: Simeon Stylites "If you're going to ridicule others for their poor use of English, there's no such word as "pendentry". Try "pedantry" or, better still, just stop being pedantic.........
Pedentry is simply unconventional spelling, but dis- and uninterested are different words that change the meaning of the text. Dux's observation is therefore important for the argument, yours is not.'"
I wish I hadn't bothered with this now. The word actually used in Dux's original post was "
pendentry", not "pedentry" - and I'm perfectly aware of the difference between disinterested and uninterested, thanks. I recommend that you purchase a decent pair of reading glasses. Jeez.
