Yes, be that as it may was me agreeing with you that I am sometimes pedantic.

Again, as I am not the one drawing this out, perhaps you should take your own advice.

Pedantic: an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.

Sounds to me like I'm not the only pedant here... Which one of us is claiming expertise in language? I certainly never did. You keep dragging me back into a discussion I was done with hours ago, for what purpose, I wonder? Is it to staunchly defend the current use of one language? Or is it to prove me wrong? Is it so important to you to be right on Reddit that you're just going to keep hammering away? Or are you going to stop being childish because I, like many others, choose not to agree with you about the validity of certain linguistic conventions?

Your call.
