Maybe I should have put a smiley to show I was being ironic. As I have said before, being correct and pointing out someone is incorrect is not pedantry. Something a few on here should remember.
In that case yeah you should've used a smiley. The amount of times on here I've been accused of pedantry for being correct...
It is now but it has deviated from its original meaning. Pointing out someone has put an incorrect date or year is not being pedantic. Pointing out someone has misspelt or used the wrong word is not pedantry.It is a standard retort of people who have been shown to be incorrect to accuse them of pedantry.
There's an irony here, in that you tell us the word 'Massive' is often used incorrectly because that is you being pedantic.
